3 Days Private Tour from Casablanca

Early history:

The area that is today Casablanca was founded and settled by Berbers by the seventh century BC.

It was used as a port by the Phoenicians, then the Romans.

In his book Description of Africa, Leo Africanus refers to ancient Casablanca as “Anfa”, a great city founded in the Berber kingdom of Barghawata in 744 AD.

He believed Anfa was the most “prosperous city on the Atlantic Coast because of its fertile land.

Barghawata rose as an independent state around this time and continued until it was conquered by the Almoravids in 1068.

After the defeat of the Barghawata in the 12th century, Arab tribes of Hilal and Sulaym descent settled in the region, mixing with the local Berbers, which led to widespread Arabization.

During the 14th century, under the Merinids, Anfa rose in importance as a port.

The last of the Merinids were ousted by a popular revolt in 1465.

The present city of Essaouira was built during the mid-eighteenth century by the Moroccan King. Mohammed III tried to reorient his kingdom toward the Atlantic for increased exchanges with European powers, choosing Mogador as his key location. One of his objectives was to establish a harbour at the closest possible point to Marrakesh.

The other was to cut off trade from Agadir in the south, which had been favouring a political rival of Mohammed III, and the inhabitants of Agadir were forced to relocate to Essaouira.
