With its crenellated walls, the steady breeze of the trade winds, and houses adorned in shades of white and blue—colors of foam and sea—Essaouira, once known as Mogador, is the ‘Bride of the Atlantic.’
This coastal city is where the tranquility of life and the thrill of water sports go hand in hand. Wander leisurely beneath its ancient ramparts, which also served as the backdrop for Astapor, the red city in Game of Thrones. Climb the walls, take a walk along the ramparts, and from there, gaze out over the Purpuraires Islands, watching falcons, seagulls, and gulls glide above the natural reserve. In the distance, surfers, windsurfers, and kite surfers ride the perfect winds.
The walk gradually leads to the fishing port, where fishermen go about their work, and to the nearby fish market, where the catch of the night—fresh fish and seafood—is ready to be savored. At the heart of the city, the medina winds through a maze of narrow streets, one of the most beautiful in Morocco and a UNESCO World Heritage site. Each summer, the air is filled with music during the Gnaoua Festival, celebrating the Afro-Maghreb rhythms.
For your stay, the eco-resort Mogador warmly welcomes you. Morocco has embraced responsible tourism in recent years, and this establishment contributes to that vision, as do the nearby Blue Flag beaches, recognized for their quality.
Here, you can relax, explore, and enrich your soul: Essaouira-Mogador is a destination with limitless possibilities.

The guide in Essaouria was perfect. We learned a lot. The trip was well planned.
Un lugar que tiene su propio encanto, el guía fue muy bueno, dos horas de tour y luego tres para disfrutar de su gastronomía y caminar tranquilamente antes de regresar. Suficiente tiempo. El conductor fue muy bueno, incluso nos puso música española y siempre estuvo atento.
The tour was great! The driver was super friendly and the guide explained a lot about Essaouira and the coexistence of the 3 religions. We ate really well at the restaurant we recommended. And the trip was very pleasant with the stops to rest. Highly recommended.
Ein unvergesslicher Tag. Toller Transfer mit einem wunderbaren Guide. Stadtrundfahrt mit Hassan, der mehr als nur ein Guide war, er war ein Lehrer. Ein Lehrer, der nicht nur die Stadt zeigt, sondern sie auch erklärt, ihre Geschichte, ihre Unterschiede, wer, wie, wann… Er macht Lust darauf, zurückzukommen. Von hier aus danke ich ihm millionenfach.
Malgré la distance jusqu’à Essaouira, cela vaut vraiment le détour. Si vous avez la chance de rencontrer un guide aussi merveilleux à travers la ville, c’est exceptionnel. Il devrait y avoir plus de personnes dans le monde comme notre guide, si cultivé et désireux d’enseigner. Il nous a expliqué avec beaucoup de charme la culture arabe et juive.
The city is beautiful and the guide we had was very knowledgeable. The free time they leave is perfect to enjoy the city. The trip is long but worth it. The only thing is that on the way there they made an extra stop at an argan oil factory with a tasting included which lengthened the trip by half an hour.
Everything was perfect. We traveled in an impeccable van, and when we arrived in Essaouira the guide was waiting for us. He showed us the main points of the city. Everything he told us was excellent. He was extremely prepared and you could see the love he put into his work. I loved it. Thank you.
