The history of Essaouira dates back to the 8th century BC. The Phoenicians stopped there on the road of the equator. The real founder of the city was the Alaouite sultan Sidi Mohamed Ben Abdellah, who entrusted the construction to Theodore Cornut, architect and student of Vauban Essaouira is now a nice little fishing port very lively at the arrival of the boats where sardines and crustaceans are sold at the auction. On the docks, fishermen repair the red nets. Enjoy the sardine grilled outdoors in the harbor's small restaurants, then discover the Sqala du Port, a crenellated bastion built to protect the harbor and the city. It consists of two fortified wings behind the Navy gate. Leaving the port Sqala, enter Moulay Hassan square.

This being our 3rd excursion of our holiday I can say this was the best. Clear communication, AC which the other van we took on another trip DID not have in 37C weather, great guide Yasin. The main reason I gave this a 5 star was because of Yasin who very nice, told us how long the journey would take and gave constant updates. If you get a guide and it’s Yasin then you’re in great hands !
We had a great time in Essaouira thanks to our driver Jawad and our amazing guide Charaf!
Everything was right and guide and driver were good
We went out with Charaf and Jawd to Essouria. They were punctual and greeted us warmly. Charaf gave us an explanation about the Berbers. Humor was also used during the explanation. We remember... do we want to marry someone? Then you bring sugar and flowers. Then hope for sweet tea. In short, a happy tour, a nice guide and a safe driver.
Very good service and a very comfortable trip. Our guide, Youness Nkob, was wonderful: super friendly, kind, and very helpful throughout the entire trip. The car was very nice, clean, and was very well maintained. Also, during the trip he played music to our liking, a detail that made the journey even more pleasant. At first, the driver's demeanor made us feel a bit uncomfortable, although later we understood that he was somewhat annoyed because other passengers had arrived late. Luckily, it was only at the beginning and afterwards everything went perfectly. They dropped us off right at the door of our villa, which was great and very convenient for us. Overall, a very good experience. We especially want to highlight Youness for his friendliness and attention throughout the entire trip. Highly recommended!
