Living history: Morocco’s 18th century port city is full of rugged charm and mysteryThis is Berber Morocco, Barbary Morocco, out of which slave-traders and pirates launched centuries of terror. The Daily Mail's Kit Hesketh-Harvey describes the Medina as a 'riot of coloured cloths and carpets and the clatter of cafes'. For decades, until the lockdown, I visited Essaouira twice-yearly, staying in a collapsing riad built around a fountained courtyard. Kits says Essaouira is the 'un-homogenised, unpackaged Morocco'. So, yes, I dream of Essaouira: the un-homogenised, unpackaged Morocco.
