City of trade winds, wild Atlantic beaches, gnaoua music and private fishermen's tables. Three days to breathe the ocean after the intensity of the imperial medinas.
A medina on a human scale
A UNESCO site, old Mogador was laid out in the 18th century by a French architect for Sultan Sidi Mohammed Ben Abdallah. Portuguese ramparts, white and blue lanes, thuya marquetry workshops.
Gnaoua, the soul of the city
A private evening with a gnaoua maâlem in a historic zaouia. This music, born from sub-Saharan slavery, is today one of Morocco's most powerful living traditions.
The ocean at the table
Private lunch on a Diabat fisherman's boat, oyster tasting at the Oualidia lagoon, an evening of Moroccan wines with an Essaouira vintner — the Atlantic coast has its own gastronomy.
