Luxury Essaouira Tours

Essaouira, a picturesque coastal town overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, is yours to discover. This easygoing fishing port dating back to the 17th century is where Orson Wells filmed Othello! This charming town is also credited with playing host to guests such as Jimmy Hendrix and the Rolling Stones. While the town is not as historically relevant as Fes or Marrakech, you can see glimpses of Portuguese influence in the white painted buildings of the old walled area. In the 18th century synagogue, you can find evidence of what had once been a thriving Jewish community. In the week preceding Rosh Hashanah, witness the annual pilgrimage to the tomb of Rabbi Chaim Pinto in the vast Jewish cemetery adjacent to the ocean. Essaouira being a hub of artists, you will see plenty of handmade works of art in the modest souk.
