Highlights
Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2001 and swept by the trade winds, about 175 km west of Marrakech, lies the small fortified white and blue port city of Essaouira, "the ex-Mogador", with its Vauban ramparts and its medina “Mecca of Hippies during the 1970s”... Famous for its historic past as a former trading post and, a real source of inspiration, it attracts artists from around the world, lovers of authenticity, culture and refinement, including painters, writers, filmmakers (Orson Welles for "Othello" ) ... and many musicians, especially during its exciting Gnaoua music festival in June ... Essaouira also stands out for the marquetry of thuja, precious woods whose subtle scent hangs in the alleys of the medina and the mellah, the Jewish quarter, with its vaulted shops where harmony and lightness reign ... for the pleasure of bargain hunting, the 5 senses on the alert ...

About Marrakech
At the foot of the Atlas Mountains, red-walled Marrakech is famed for its maze-like medina, lively main square and tranquil riads and gardens.
Jemaa el-Fnaa, the great square at the centre of the medina, changes character through the day, from juice sellers and snake charmers in the morning to smoke-wreathed food stalls and musicians after dark. The minaret of the Koutoubia Mosque rises nearby as the city's landmark, and the souks spread north in a warren of lanes selling leather, lanterns, carpets and spices.
Top-ranked sights in Marrakech: Atlas Mountains, Tizi-n'Tichka Pass, Jemaa el-Fna (Djemaa el-Fna).
