In an authentic and traditional riad of the 18th century, 300 metres from the beach of Essaouira, the Maison du Sud welcomes you in the heart of the Medina.
Essaouira
Essaouira, a coastal city in Morocco, is known for its rich history, vibrant culture, and stunning Atlantic shoreline. Originally a Phoenician settlement, it later became a strategic port under Portuguese rule before being redesigned by French architect Théodore Cornut in the 18th century. Today, Essaouira is famous for its UNESCO-listed medina, bustling souks, and impressive ramparts that once defended the city. The town is also a hub for water sports, particularly kitesurfing and windsurfing, thanks to its strong coastal winds. With a thriving arts scene, fresh seafood markets, and warm hospitality, Essaouira offers an authentic Moroccan experience for travelers.

Practise skills & free time
This morning, you'll have free time to practice your photography before lunch (available at an additional cost).
In the afternoon, you can continue capturing images or unwind at your own pace. Your tutor, Darren, has plenty of recommendations for how to make the most of your free time. If you're feeling adventurous, you might try a cooking class, go horse riding, shop for local treasures, visit a hammam, explore the vibrant arts scene in nearby galleries, take a bongo drumming class, or watch artisans craft silver and woodwork. Or, if you prefer, simply relax on the beach and soak in the surroundings.
