Essaouira, formerly Mogador, presents itself as the "Bride of the Atlantic," with its crenellated walls, the gentle breezes of the trade winds, and its houses with blue and white facades reminiscent of the colors of sea foam and waves.

It's one of those seaside resorts where relaxation and water sports come together. We stroll peacefully in the shade of its fortifications, the very same ones that mark the boundaries of Astapor, the scarlet city from the "Game of Thrones" series. We climb these ramparts and follow the sentry path: from this vantage point, we glimpse the Purpuraires Islands, as well as the falcons, gulls, and seagulls circling above this precious nature reserve. In the distance, surfing, windsurfing, and kitesurfing enthusiasts are endlessly captivated by the quality of the wind!


Then, gradually, the promenade leads to the fishing port where the sailors are busy at work; not far away is the fish market where you can savor the night's catch, fish and seafood. In the heart of the city, the medina weaves its network of narrow streets. It is listed by UNESCO as one of the most magnificent sites in Morocco. Finally, every summer, the city is immersed in a musical world: the Gnaoua Festival is held there, celebrating Afro-Maghrebi sounds.

The Mogador eco-resort invites you to discover its grounds. For several years now, Morocco has embraced the concept of sustainable tourism, and this establishment is part of this approach, as are the surrounding beaches which proudly display the Blue Flag label, guaranteeing their excellence.
