Hello everybody
and welcome to Essaouira
[Music]
Essaouira is a huge harbour city
and it's been around for centauries
unfortunately it does have a bit of a dark past
as it was a gateway
for slave traders going to the America's and Europe
Thankfully nowadays it's mostly a town
for fishing, markets and also tourists aswell

So behind me here is Lion Gate
and this is just one of
about 6 or 7 entrances into the old side of Essaouira

Morocco gets a lot of influence
from many different cultures
between Arabian to unfortunately French
colonization as well
alot of European influence aswell
and you also have the Berbers which
is like the native Moroccans
and places like here are no different
there's alot of French Influence
and I think French is kinda like the first language here
you have a mixture
Arabic and French but alot
of the styles of buildings is very French
Essaouira is also known as Morocco's windy city
and it is definitely that
but it also makes it a great spot for windsurfing and regular surfing s well
