I was in Essaouira last week as part of a two week trip to Morocco. I love jewelry and it was so interesting to watch the artisians work and to understand better what is takes to make quality silver jewelry. My experience with the people working there was very memorable....I actually had another piece of silver jewelry I had purchased elsewhere in the country which was not made very well. My sweet sales person offered to have one of the silversmiths work on trying to fix it and they did that for me...no charge. We all had hugs afterward and it was a reminder of the general spirit of the Moroccon people And I love the earring and bracelet I purchaed at this shop. Don't miss it! And what a beautiful town.

Ex-Consulate of Italy, this riad has unique architectural features for the medina of Essaouira. A visit is required! Real Mogador offers exhibitions of both Moroccan and foreign artists. Said Ouarzaz, an artist of recognized talent (twice exhibited in Arab World Institut (Paris), King museum of Antwerp,... until Singapore & China), is there permanently: a retrospective of more than 100 paintings is in progress; this is THE EXHIBITION TO SEE in Essaouira. Regular performances are announced on Facebook (Francois.j.Real). Music is part of concept & place! Others artists (musicians, actors, writers,...) are often invited. Soon it will be possible to drink coffee, tea,... or eat home mad fresh salads, cakes,...

Le Real Mogador was the highlight of our visit to Essaouira! It is a stunning building with absolutely beautiful artwork. I went back 2 times within my stay. The owner is lovely and very willing to let us view the unique artwork. A very special experience!

This is a small unique museum tucked in the Médina of Marrakech. I enjoyed the backstory of the owner/museum founder and the collection of North African art, clothing and jewelry

A very efficient and clean station with helpful staff, signage in English and Arabic, good public toilets and a coffee shop if you have to wait a while. Make sure you buy your tickets a day or two before you travel so you secure a seat, otherwise you might miss out as the trains get very full.

My wife and I visited this museum when we were in Marrakech earlier this month. It's a small museum that has wonderful photographs, many of which are stunning portraits of Berbers. Highly recommended.
