Gnawa Festival Essaouira
The Gnawa came to Morocco as slaves from sub-Saharan Africa. They kept their music—hypnotic bass sintir, iron castanets, call-and-response chants that induce trance. Every June, Essaouira hosts the world's greatest Gnawa festival. Five days of late-night ceremonies, beach concerts, and music that doesn't let go.
Your Route

Day 1
Marrakech → Essaouira
West toward water. The road flattens through argan groves where goats climb trees like punctuation marks. The air changes before you see the sea—salt, wind, something loosening. Essaouira appears white against blue. The port smells of fish and freedom. Shutters rattle. The city doesn't try to impress. She's busy being.

Day 2
Essaouira → Sidi Kaouki
South along the coast. A short drive that feels like crossing into another time. Sidi Kaouki appears—a curve of beach, a few buildings, wind that never stops. The Atlantic doesn't sparkle here. She pulls.

Day 3
Sidi Kaouki → Essaouira
North back to the port. The wild beach releases you. Essaouira's white walls appear, her medina waiting with shuttered calm. The wind follows you through the gate.

Day 4
Essaouira → Marrakech
The coast releases you slowly. Fishing boats shrink in the mirror as the road turns inland, climbing through argan groves where goats still perch in trees—not for tourists, just because they always have. The plain opens, heat rising, until Marrakech appears as a shimmer before it becomes real. You've closed the circle.
