Essaouira is an exceptional example of a late-18th-century fortified town, built according to the principles of contemporary European military architecture in a North African context, inperfect harmony with the precepts of Arabo-Muslim architecture and town-planning. The town is also an example of a multicultural center as proven by the coexistence, since its foundation, of diverse ethnic groups, such as Amazighs, Arabs, Africans, and Europeans.

​Essaouira presents itself as a city full of culture. It's surrounded by dramatic, wave-lashed ramparts, narrow streets, hassle-free souqs, street vendors and vibrant galleries, all protected by the thick walls of the medina. The city's large working port is noisy, pungent and hugely atmospheric. Along with the flurry of sea-blue wooden boats arriving and departing, nets being repaired and the day’s catch being landed, you can see traditional wooden boats being made.
