Embark on an unforgettable journey from Agadir to Essaouira, also known as the Portuguese Fortress or Mogador town. This imperial city in Morocco was established by the Portuguese in 1506 and christened Castelo Real de Mogador.
Essaouira boasts numerous historical sites and monuments waiting to be explored such as city walls, a Dutch cannon crafted by Adrianus Crans in The Hague in 1744, a Genoese-built citadel by the harbour, ramparts from the Medina, and the harbour scala. Your adventure begins from your hotel or residence in Agadir. After all passengers have been picked up, you'll start driving north along the Atlantic coast. A brief stop will be made after about 40 minutes for a panoramic view of Tamri beach before continuing on to Essaouira. Along the way, you'll spot goats perched high in trees, a sight uniquely referred to as 'flying goats'. This is a spectacle only seen in Essaouira. Your final stop before reaching Essaouira will be at the Argan Cooperative.
Upon arrival in Essaouira, you'll have ample time to explore the historical sites, the Medina, the souk market and old harbour. After soaking up the rich history, indulge in a delightful meal before beginning your journey back to Agadir in the afternoon. You can expect to arrive back in Agadir around early evening.
