Route

1. The Medina of Essaouira, formerly named Mogador (name originating from the Phoenician word Migdol meaning a « small fortress »), is an outstanding example of a fortified town of the mid-eighteenth century, surrounded by a wall influenced by the Vauban model. Constructed according to the principles of contemporary European military architecture, in a North African context, in perfect harmony with the precepts of Arabo-Muslim architecture and town-planning, it has played a major role over the centuries as an international trading seaport, linking Morocco and sub-Saharan Africa with Europe and the rest of the world. The town is also an example of a multicultural centre as proven by the coexistence, since its foundation, of diverse ethnic groups, such as the Amazighs, Arabs, Africans, and Europeans as well as multiconfessional (Muslim, Christian and Jewish).

De brede halve maan van zand van de stad strekt zich kilometers uit, met een promenade aan zee vol cafés en restaurants. Daarboven geven de ruïnes van de oude kasbah, Agadir Oufella, op de heuveltop weids uitzicht over de baai, met het nationale motto in reusachtige Arabische letters op de helling eronder.
