37 Best Essaouira Morocco Travel tips | Essaouira trip gems

Okay, of course this must be mentioned as well. Medinas in Morocco are fun to look around, buy stuff, bargain for fun and just immerse yourself with all the colors, impressions, sounds and the general vibe.

I’ll just leave these photos of Medina of Essaouira here and you can figure the rest by stepping into the medina yourself.

Best ways to get around in Morocco are by shared taxis and buses.

Shared taxi is a taxi which will be shared with random people, and the taxi leaves when the car is full. This is really affordable option for long distances as well.

If you don’t have time to wait for the car to get full, you can of course pay the whole ride by yourself as well and have the taxi leave immediately.

Another option to get for example to Marrakech, Agadir and Casablanca are by Bus.

For the buses you can check Supratours or CTM.

Morocco is a liberal Muslim country. This means that it is quite open-minded and safe, yet it is good to respect the culture, and for women it is advised to cover shoulders.

This is not anyhow mandatory though, and you can simply show up as you wish, but I would say you feel more comfortable by covering more.

Secondly, the main safety thing is not to get scammed with money, so bargaining is a skill you want to know.

Sometimes some people start from crazy prices to test you, and normally you can lower the price quite a bit.

As this is one of the only things to consider as safety in Morocco, you can see how safe i actually feels.s from different places so you get some general idea before you start bargaining.

Of course, as always when traveling, use your common sense and carry valuables in a bag where it’s not easy to take it from and as a woman don’t get overly drunk alone in weird areas.
