Spanning over 90 km² along a 5 km bay on the Atlantic coast, Essaouira is located 190 km from Marrakech. Known since the 7th century BC by the Phoenicians, it was mentioned by Roman historians in the second century AD.

In the 16th century, the city began to emerge and gain importance in the region with the arrival of the Portuguese, who built their famous port and named it "Suera" or "Mogador," after a saint named "Sidi Mogadour."

After Morocco's independence in 1956, the city was officially named "Essaouira," which, according to historians, means the fortress surrounded by walls.
