Departure at 8:00 AM from the airport or hotel. In about 3 hours, you'll arrive in Essaouira, the former port of Mogador, built by the Portuguese on a narrow peninsula next to a vast crescent of fine sand. From the top of the Skala, you can see the fishing port, the fortresses, and the Spanish cannons. The city is largely pedestrianized and divided into different neighborhoods by its grid layout. Essaouira is also famous for its refined handicrafts, especially objects made of thuya wood interspersed with lemonwood, ebony, mother-of-pearl, or copper or silver threads. If you enjoy seafood, you'll savor a delicious meal at the port. Overnight in a riad.
