Essaouira Seafront

For Street Photography in Essaouira and Morocco in general, you should respect the privacy of the locals. Many Moroccans don't want to be photographed. They don't like having a camera being pointed at them, so don't do it.

What you can do, if you want to take photographs of locals: Get into a conversation with them first or buy something in their shop. Then you can ask politely, if you may take a photo. An alternative is focussing your photography on capturing the bigger picture and keeping the people in your photos anonymous.

Essaouira is a charming coastal city in Morocco, renowned for its well-preserved 18th-century fortifications and vibrant cultural scene. One of its most notable features is the Skala de la Ville, a historic seafront rampart known for its cannon-lined defense walls and stunning ocean views. From this spot there is a nice view of the ramparts which is freely accessible.
