This year sees the 10th anniversary for Essaouria's Festival of Gnawa Music.

Set in a beautiful and historic port town (formerly known as Mogador) on the Moroccan Atlantic coast, the Gnawa and World Music Festival is well worth a trip.

Essaouria's charm has attracted travellers and artists worldwide, including Orson Welles, Jimi Hendrix, Mick Jagger, Maria Callas and Pasolini.

This superb fortified town has entered the international spotlight and has just been named a Universal Patrimony Site by the United Nations.

Fly to Marrakech and coach/taxi to Essaouria (about 3 hours).
