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.

Top service! Abdul And Said were great!
Abdul and Said very nice and effective
One of my favorite day trips in Morocco. Essaouira has its own charm and it’s hard to explain until you see it yourself. We enjoyed simply walking around and sitting by the ocean for a while. Said and Oubram were both great.

We had a lovely day. The weather was perfect and there was plenty of free time to discover the city. The port was probably my favorite spot. Oubram was an excellent driver and Said was very helpful throughout the trip.

The trip itself was amazing. Me and my group really enjoyed the trip and all the amenities that came with it. This includes the break in the middle and the teaching about the argan oil.

Good price and fun time. Decent 4 hours in Essaouira. Great atmosphere with not too many people around. Musti was great and funny. Best for seafood and the beach. Great experience all around.
