EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the essence of Essaouira, Morocco - a historical and vibrant tourist destination on the Atlantic coast. The city, formerly known as Mogador, has been occupied since prehistoric times and holds a rich history of trade and culture.
The image shows tourists landing in Essaouira, a popular resort town in the western region of Marrakesh. Known for its picturesque coastline and good anchorage, Essaouira was once home to a Carthaginian trading post established by navigator Hanno in the 5th century BC.
One interesting fact about Essaouira is its association with the production of dye from shells that were used to create the purple stripe in Imperial Roman senatorial togas. Additionally, at one point in history, Jews made up 40% of the population in this diverse city.
With its blend of history, culture, and natural beauty, Essaouira continues to attract visitors from around the world who are drawn to its unique charm. This print serves as a reminder of the timeless allure of this North African gem.
