Move to Essaouira, the fortress-port and the former pirate stronghold, one of the most beautiful cities in the world, which is located 170 km north to Agadir.
The former name of Essaouira is Mogador. The city was founded by Sultan Mohammed bin Abdullah as a free port through which gold and ivory passed.
The city was designed by the european Theodore Cornu, who was in captivity of the Sultan. A talented engineer made the city impregnable of the sea attacks. Just leave your things and a car at the hotel and explore the city.
