Esauira, Mogador, Mogdura, Amokdul are some of the many former names of Essueira (Essaouira). The picturesque city near the Atlantic Ocean was owned by both Berbers and Portuguese at different times. In the XVIII century, Sultan Mohammed III bin Abdullah of the Alaouite dynasty wanted to turn the city into the largest port of Morocco. For a long time, European ships anchored here, on which merchants brought goods and exchanged them for gold, cane sugar, oysters and salt. Cane sugar is the local gold. Europeans at one time discovered here abundantly growing sugar cane, from which they made a source of large incomes.
