Self Guided Essaouira Medina Architecture Audio Tour

About this activity

Step into a collision of worlds. In the 18th century, a visionary Moroccan Sultan and a captive French military engineer teamed up to build a utopian trading fortress on the edge of the Atlantic. This is the story of Essaouira—formerly Mogador—a city where European rational grid-planning meets the organic soul of a North African medina. Discover hidden pirate architects, secret diplomatic histories, and the military genius that made this white-and-blue city an impregnable masterpiece.
