Arriving in Essaouira Medina
The medina is an eighteenth-century grid inside sea walls, laid out by a French engineer for the sultan — which is why, uniquely in Morocco, you can actually navigate it. Skala de la Ville's cannons look straight out at the Atlantic.
Riads here are behind unmarked doors on narrow lanes, and no vehicle goes past the gates. Bab Doukkala, Bab Marrakech and the port entrance each serve a different quarter.
Tell us the riad name at booking and the driver picks the right gate rather than the first one on the map.
