From the rhymes of Gnaoua drums in the square to the taste of fresh Fish by the port, Everything is just full of life and Joy.
The stop at the argan oil cooperative was fascinating, and Essaouira’s streets are so easy to explore. the locals were pretty friendly and open mindedly cool.
Small galleries, unique jewelry, and friendly locals. Watching the sunset over the sea was unforgettable.
From tasting almond amlou to watching women make cosmetics and oils, Essaouira felt authentic and vivid. Street talents and rooftop Gnaoua gave it a festival vibe, while the seagulls, horse riding by the beach made it feel alive. I can only imagine how magical it must be at night.
Street cats everywhere, women grinding almonds for fresh amlou, Gnaoua music echoing from rooftops it's just full of life. The wildlife is just as much part of it as the people. I didn’t stay for the evening, but everyone kept telling me that’s when it’s most beautiful
