In Episode 14 of our Morocco vlog, we explore the seaside city of Essaouira, a must see bucket list destination on Morocco’s Atlantic coast. We honestly believe Essaouira is one of the best places to visit in Morocco, with its vibrant medina, iconic blue fishing boats, fresh seafood, sandy beaches, picturesque fortifications, and thriving traditional Gnawa music scene. Essaouira really has it all, and it’s quickly become one of our favorite places to travel vlog!
After our voyage from Marrakech to Essaouira (formerly Mogador), we soak in the relaxed, laid-back seaside vibes of its medina and beaches, and watch the fishermen bring in their catch and sell it right on the harbor.
We buy freshly caught seafood straight off the trawler, have it cooked in front of us, and savor seafood street food like locals (secrets revealed).
Essaouira sunsets are legendary, and were lucky enough to experience a couple of it's best. By night, we enjoy Essaouira's lively nightlife, blending traditional and modern scenes.
Skala de la Kasbah, the city’s ramparts, are a photographer's dream with stunning views and history. It's no wonder they were used in the Game of Thrones TV series.
If you love immersive travel experiences, historic cities, local street food and traditional music then this video on Essaouira, Morocco is perfect for you.

🌍 Hi, we're Lydia & Chris, the Roving Balys!
🌍As an empty nest couple from Newcastle, Australia, we've traveled the world together for 30 years. We started this vlog to share our travel tales and showcase our beautiful region. We met traveling around Europe in 1995 and have since visited 50+ countries. We love discovering new places, meeting people, and trying local cuisines (including gluten-free options).Our journey has evolved from backpacking to family travel, and now back to couple adventures. With the kids doing their own thing, we're ready to dust off our backpacks (now suitcases) and start new adventures. So grab a cup of coffee and come roving with us!
