Essaouira, known by numerous nicknames such as “The Pearl of the Atlantic,” “The Sleeping Beauty,” and “Beautifully Laid Out” (from the Arabic Souirah), is a UNESCO World Heritage city that retains the charm and authenticity of a place frozen in time. This city marks the end of the Mediterranean, with its last walled fortification on the Atlantic coasts, whose houses resemble the “white villages” of Andalusia.

Here, the Phoenicians left their mark, and the city’s splendor dates back to their settlement, followed by the Romans, Carthaginians, Berbers, Portuguese, and French.
