Island, populated by gulls and falcons, which has become a natural bird reserve and houses the ruins of an old prison.

It is on this island, inhabited by gulls and Eleonore falcons, and now an ornithological nature reserve, that the oldest traces of habitation on the site of Essaouira have been discovered. Mogador, the main island of the Purpuraires archipelago, was home to the great purple factory built by the King of Mauritania, Juba II. Deserted since the last century, it contains the ruins of an old prison built by the grandfather of Ben Abdallah, Sultan Moulay el-Hassan. Visits are not permitted unless a pass is issued.

Très difficile à visiter mais approchez vous en barque et vous serez surpris non seulement de voir les reste de l'ancienne prison mais surtout de voir durant l'été et au début de l’autonome une multitude d'oiseaux avec notamment les faucon Éléonore dont certains viennent m^me de Madagascar
