Grand Plateau des Ida Ou Bouzia Info, Souss-Massa-Draa

Agadir in Morocco is located along North Africa's Atlantic coastline. Its cultural and historical ties lie predominantly with its relationships and conflicts with European nations.

The word Essaouira means image. Observed from any angle, Essaouira is a perfect photograph. Behind its purple ramparts and inside its whitewashed medina with blue doors lies a city that has been influenced by various cultures (Berber, Carthaginian, Portuguese, English, Bambara and others). It was the Jewish traders that once formed the majority of the population and it was they who transformed Essaouira into what became Morocco's most prosperous city in the 17th and 18th centuries.
