    After breakfast, we will visit the remains of the Almohade mosque (12th century), now a national monument.

Surrounded by crenellated walls like Marrakech, it contains an animated and colorful medina. Free dinner and overnight in Riad.

    Day 6

    Free day for the discovery of the city. Coastal and Atlantic, Essaouira, under the influence of the trade winds, it enjoys a mild and temperate climate in all seasons. The old city, enclosed within its massive walls, offers an atmosphere that has attracted many European artists: the play of light through narrow streets, white and blue facades, small cafes with pleasant terraces, famous for the processing of tuya burl ... Colorful and lively, the fishing port lives to the rhythm of its outdoor restaurants, the arrival of trawlers and artisans who build traditional wooden fishing boats. In the south, miles of virgin beach invite to long, invigorating walks. Overnight in Riad.
