What Essaouira has to offer?

Essaouira Maroc en direct au départ de l'aéroport Nantes Atlantique

Stroll through the narrow streets of the Medina

Get ready for a feast for the senses. The narrow streets and squares of the Medina are brimming with gourmet restaurants, art galleries, artisanal shops, fragrant spice markets, lively music, and vibrant colors. Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2001, the old city is an invitation to travel—to all kinds of journeys.

Immerse yourself in the cheerful bustle of the harbour

At landing time, the harbour becomes the beating heart of Essaouira. Fishermen and buyers call out to one another and haggle under the watchful eyes and cries of a flock of seagulls on the lookout for even the smallest sardine. Fancy a quick lunch? Freshly caught fish and seafood are grilled right before your eyes in stalls just outside the harbour.

Watch the sun set from the ramparts

Saint-Malo in Morocco? There’s a clear family resemblance, given that the French architect tasked with rebuilding and fortifying the medina in the 18th century was a follower of Vauban. Today, the ramparts of Essaouira protect the city only from the onslaught of the waves. Their parapet walk remains the ideal spot to enjoy magical sunsets over the ocean.
