Fez has conserved its integrity to its existence, and the Medina is still as it was centuries ago. Not even a bicycle can be used as a tool for transportation.

With fascinating antiquity, Essaouira was occupied by the Phoenicians and Carthaginians, supplied essential purple dyes to the Romans, absorbed the sophisticated Jewish arts of silversmiths, and spent centuries as a Portuguese enclave. Despite the apparent influence of these civilizations, Essaouira has managed to remain a small, authentic Berber town in Morocco. Alive with the breath of fresh air provided by the Atlantic, Essaouira is a jewel nestled in the ragged Atlantic coast of Morocco, with a vast expanse of empty sands trailing back along the peninsula towards the South.
