Experience the contrasts between the lively, multicultural city with its shopping opportunities and excursions into the tranquil countryside. A meeting of the past and the future at Jbel El Hadid: as early as 470 B.C., Hanno the Navigator reported on iron ore mining, and the Bizmoune Cave has become famous for its archaeological finds. In Aïn Lahjar, millstones were once carved from the rocks. Today, a massive wind farm on the mountain ridge supplies numerous households with green electricity. References to the accounts of 19th- and 20th-century explorers paint a vivid picture. Among other things, they describe the life and peaceful coexistence of Muslims, Jews, and Christians. Surfers will find plenty to enjoy not only in Essaouira, but also in Sidi Kaouki and Cap Sim.
This map brings together destinations and excursion ideas for nature lovers, hikers, and history buffs.
