Explore the lively Moulay El Hassan Square, one of the city's main gathering places, and take time to admire the architecture and atmosphere of the old town.

    Continue toward the famous Essaouira fishing port, where you can see local fishermen, traditional blue boats, and the daily activity of one of Morocco’s most atmospheric Atlantic ports. It is also a great place to take photos and experience the city's maritime character.
