Top neighborhoods in Essaouira

The coastal city of Essaouira. The most laid-back of cities, I visited in Morocco.

Medina

Wander through whitewashed alleys of Essaouira's ancient medina, where history whispers from every weathered stone. Browse colorful souks filled with handcrafted thuya wood treasures and gleaming silver jewelry while Gnawa rhythms float through the air. The 18th-century Skala de la Ville fortress offers breathtaking Atlantic views, and nearby museums showcase the area's unique Moroccan-Jewish heritage. This pedestrian paradise is best explored on foot, with everything within a 15-minute walk. Fresh-caught seafood dominates local menus, best enjoyed on rooftop terraces as the sun sets. Traditional riads converted into charming guesthouses provide authentic stays with personal touches and mint tea welcomes.

Essaouira Coast

Essaouira Coast dazzles with its golden beaches meeting ancient fortifications. Crashing Atlantic waves provide the soundtrack as you wander past blue fishing boats bobbing in the harbor. The UNESCO-listed medina hides artistic treasures, while the beach calls to windsurfers riding the famous trade winds. Seagulls soar above 18th-century cannons pointing dramatically seaward. Fresh seafood dominates local menus, from grilled sardines to sea bass tagines served in beachfront cafes. Traditional riads with rooftop terraces offer authentic stays within the whitewashed medina walls. Most coastal attractions are within a 15-minute walk, making it perfect for travelers who prefer exploring on foot.

Ahl Agadir

Ahl Agadir wraps you in Essaouira's coastal magic with its UNESCO-listed medina and 18th-century Portuguese ramparts standing guard over the Atlantic. Wander through narrow alleys where artisans hammer silver and weave intricate carpets right before your eyes. The historic port buzzes with blue fishing boats while seagulls swoop overhead and the scent of incense drifts from local souks. Traditional riads with carved cedar doors offer authentic stays within the whitewashed walls. Rooftop restaurants serve fresh seafood tagines with ocean views, while the medina's pedestrian-only streets make exploring on foot the perfect way to soak up the Berber culture and coastal charm.

Chbanat

Chbanat's labyrinth of whitewashed alleys echoes with the sounds of local artisans hammering metal and spinning pottery wheels. This authentic neighborhood within Essaouira's UNESCO-listed medina offers a genuine glimpse into Moroccan family life. Small mosques call the faithful to prayer while hidden courtyards reveal daily routines behind intricately carved wooden doors. Family-run cafés serve mint tea and tagines at prices way below the tourist spots. Traditional riads with rooftop terraces provide the perfect base for exploring. The Atlantic coastline is just a five-minute stroll through the medina gates, and you can reach most attractions on foot within 15 minutes.

Kasbah

The Kasbah of Essaouira wraps you in history with its 18th-century fortified walls and sweeping Atlantic views. Wander through narrow alleys where artisans craft thuya wood treasures and silver jewelry in workshops tucked between whitewashed buildings. The ancient Portuguese ramparts offer the perfect sunset spot, while Place Moulay el Hassan buzzes with local energy and Gnawa music. Traditional riads converted into charming guesthouses provide an authentic stay with rooftop terraces overlooking the sea. Fresh seafood tagines dominate the dining scene, best enjoyed with ocean views and mint tea. Everything in this compact neighborhood is walkable, making it easy to explore both the cultural sites and crashing waves below.

Riad Chbanate

Riad Chbanate

10/10 Excellent
"Best of the riads we stayed in while visiting Morocco. We drove a vehicle and parking was easy in large lot nearby. Visit the desk and a fellow with cart will help move luggage for modest tip into the walls of city. Room was the romantic suite and well worth the minor upcharge. They offered to light the fireplace, but we didn’t use it. There was a hot tub near the room that we took advantage of after a lot of walking. The hot tub was great during our January visit. Bed was comfy, towels soft, lots of bath products. This riad room had a tv (many don’t) which was nice to watch a little something while relaxing in bed. This was the only riad we stayed with a tv - didnt miss it elsewhere. Breakfast was also the best we experienced at any riad in Morocco. Good fruit, eggs, toasts, etc. I highly recommend staying here when in essaouira. If I am ever back, then I will not hesitate to stay here again. For questions on parking. The fee is like 30 or 50 DH per day, but they will hassle you for more. I just paid them versus risking less care for the security of my rental vehicle. You will get a receipt to display on dash and have coming and going privileges. "
