Essaouira (Arabic: الصويرة, as-Ṣawīra; Berber Tassort) is a city in the western Moroccan economic region of Marrakech-Tensift-Al Haouz, on the Atlantic coast. Since the 16th century, the city has also been known by its Portuguese name of Mogador or Mogadore. The Berber name means the wall, a reference to the fortress walls that originally enclosed the city.
Archaeological research shows that Essaouira has been occupied since prehistoric times. The bay at Essaouira is partially sheltered by the island of Mogador, making it a peaceful harbor protected against strong marine winds.
Essaouira has long been considered as one of the best anchorages of the Moroccan coast. The Carthaginian navigator Hanno visited the place in the 5th century BC and established the trading post of Arambys.
Around the end of the 1st century BCE or early 1st century CE, Juba II established a Tyrian purple factory, processing the murex and purpura shells found in the intertidal rocks at Essaouira and the Iles Purpuraires. This dye colored the purple stripe in Imperial Roman Senatorial togas.
It's not my destiny
To be the one that you will lay with
So many reasons why
I have to go but want to stay here
Sometimes I want to taste
But then I don't know what I'm sayin'
You are the angel
And I am the one that is prayin'
There is another love
That I would rather be obeyin'
I see the ecstasy
And already I'm anticipating.
I feel a deeper peace
And that deeper peace is penetratin'
I got the magic in me
I am complete is what I'm sayin'
I'm flyin' up so high
My purple majesty displayin'
I've reached a higher place
That no one else can make a claim in
I'll take you there my friend
I'm reachin' out my hand so take it
We are the angels
And we are the one's that are prayin'
