Description
Essaouira was discovered by the Phoenicians who settled there. Afterwards it was conquered by Rome and next Portugal. By the final of the 15th century, the Portuguese had built the commercial and military port of Mogador, Essaouira today. This port is built at the foot of the city's ramparts. In 1769, the Navy built a door to connect the loading docks of the port to the city. From this door a small bridge leads to Skala Port and the ramparts that cut the old city into several districts. In the medina, see Moulay El-Hassan Square, the Grand Mosque and Siaghine Alley. From the terrace of the north Bastion you can access the marquetry, where the Morocco's best marqueteurs work on cedar.
As we leave the confines of Skala, we will follow Derb Laalouj street to the Museum Sidi Mohammed Ben Abdallah. Here musical instruments, local Andalusian songs, Berber Imazighen documents, weapons, costumes, carpets, and more is displayed in the former residence of the Pasha. Located in the north of the city is the Mellah. This Jewish Quarter is crossed by the traditional Rue Mohammed Zerktouni. It is bordered by a market that extends to Bab Doukkala. During your stay, you will also be able to enjoy beautiful beaches full of sun year-round!

Muito felizes com a escolha. Avisaram de uma mudança de horário com bastante antecedência. O guia de turismo em espanhol vale por si só. Recomendo sem pensar.

Realmente valió cada peso. Es una forma muy práctica de ubicarte en la ciudad el primer día. La explicación en Marrakech nos dejó pensando. Si están por Mendoza, no se lo pierdan.

Una experiencia redonda. Muy prolijos con los horarios. Marrakech quedó en todas nuestras fotos. Terminamos con una idea clara de cómo está armada la ciudad. El precio es honesto para lo que se recibe. Sin dudas una de las mejores experiencias del viaje.

Muy recomendable
Excelente experiencia de principio a fin. El guÍa de turismo en español vale por sí solo. Se notaba que el guía es de la zona, contaba cosas de primera mano. Lo de Medina fue el momento del día. Nunca hubiéramos llegado a Marrakech por nuestra cuenta. No es lo más barato, pero se justifica. Volveríamos a contratarlo.

We loved it
So glad we booked this. At Grande Mesquita we just stood there in silence, taking it in. No long waits at any point.
