About Essaouira
Essaouira is a charming colorful fishing town; about three hours travels West of Marrakech. It consists of a heavily fortified medina surrounding by a very modern; but compact, new town.
For thousands of years, Essaouira’s harbor attracted traders and invaders from across Europe.

This dye was made from a type of sea snail, which lived around the rocks of Essaouira’s ile de Mogador. The town continues as a quiet fishing and trading port until it caught the attention of the Portuguese; who captured the port in the 16th century. Over the next hundred years; the town was fiercely contested between Morocco and the seafaring nations of Europe.
