What's on the Essaouira Map
The map covers the walled medina with the Skala de la Ville ramparts and their cannons, the fishing port and its blue boats, Moulay Hassan square, the main souk streets and the long crescent beach south of the walls.
Essaouira's medina is laid out on a simple 18th-century grid - the easiest in Morocco to navigate. The two main streets run parallel to the sea and everything sits within a ten-minute walk.
Tips for Using the Map
You will hardly need GPS here, but the PDF helps to place the Skala, the port and the beach relative to your riad. Watch the wind: the beach is at its calmest in the morning.
