After breakfast at our hotel, we depart for Essaouira. On this tour, this small fishing town on the Atlantic coast is one of Morocco's most romantic destinations. Reminding us of ancient Bodrum, Essaouira has inspired many artists, including Orson Welles. A former Portuguese port, the city preserved its castle and historic harbor during Arab rule, and with the arrival of Christian Portuguese and Muslims, it became a truly cosmopolitan city. Its medina, comprised of streets and avenues intersecting at right angles, is a prime example of the period's urban planning. The kilometers-long sandy beach hosts international surfing competitions every year. Along the way, we'll reach the city, enjoying its natural beauty and visiting important sites such as the castle, medina, souks, and harbor. We'll have free time at the harbor for lunch and shopping.

The tour ends at Jamaa El Fna Square, the liveliest city square in Africa. This square, which we can call a true "courtyard of miracles," is one of the rare squares on the UNESCO National Heritage List. Jamaa El Fna, enlivened with performances by storytellers, snake charmers, tattoo artists, jugglers, and acrobats, can be briefly described as an "open-air theater."
