Essaouira Fishing Port

Fishing port Essaouira, Marrakech - Safi, Morocco

What to expect

The Essaouira Fishing Port is a bustling and picturesque harbor located on the Atlantic coast of Morocco. The port is filled with small blue fishing boats, selling fresh seafood on the spot, and is a great place to experience the lively daily life of the local fishermen. The port is also home to a variety of activities, including a shipyard where carpenters build and paint boats in blue, which attracts sardines and makes the job of fishermen easier. Visitors can witness the magic contrast between the classical decor and the exciting mood of the port, and enjoy the cool air mixed with the smells of fresh fish. The port is surrounded by well-preserved walls and ramparts, and is connected to the old town by the Marine Gate, a beautiful fortified stone doorway. The old town is peaceful and charming, with a centuries-old medina that is easy to navigate and fun to explore
