Description
New Year’s Eve and Yennayer: New Year’s Eve is generally marked by some sort of celebration especially in the tourist areas and sites such as the Sahara, which is very popular with travellers and a fantastic way to greet the new year. The Berber people essentially celebrate their own New Year, Yennayer, in harmony with the Julian calendar. Essaouira Gnaoua World Music Festival: Essaouira Gnaoua Festival is held annually in the summer and celebrates the enigmatic music of the Gnaouas and other international beats. It offers a melting pot of music which includes combinations of jazz and rock with the roots coming from a rare blend of Berber, African and Arabic songs. The festival is held in Essaouira, a charming port town recognised for its chilled yet lively atmosphere.
