The REAL ESSAOUIRA, Morocco 🇲🇦
Essaouira / الصويرة - Once one of the major Atlantic commercial centres between Africa and Europe and now a wonderful seaside town with a vibrant fishing port.
It's got a beautiful and busy medina with wind swept ramparts that were the scene of the 'Walk of Punishment' in Astapor in Game of Thrones.
A place with amazing food that you can easily spend a few days or even weeks in.
It's also next door to the little town of Diabat - Famous for Jimi Hendrix never going there!
In this vlog I'll show you why you should be including Essaouira and Diabat on your Morocco itinerary.

great review , thanks to the one you did about Agadir , I went loved it back to Tenerife to plan next holiday to Essaouira hehe but how much was the lobster lunch ?
@ChrisKermis
3 ай бұрын
Glad you liked it! I preferred Essaouira for its smaller town vibe, it’s really different to Agadir! I don’t remember exactly how much the lobster cost, but I think it was somewhere around 40 Euros. A lot cheaper than having something like that at home and it was genuinely really good! I made a food video of Essaouira on my other channel Nosebaggin if you want to see more from there

Just get one at the airport on arrival if you want to go the old fashioned route or get an eSIM before you arrive. I don’t recall the best network or prices but it’s worth checking google for the latest anyway
If I had to choose between Essaouira or Tanger?
@ChrisKermis
3 ай бұрын
Really impossible to say, it depends what you personally are looking for - I love both! Essaouira is more relaxed, walkable and a great seaside vibe. Tangier is a bigger city, vibrant and with interesting history. Both have great food in their own ways and I made videos of the food in both on my other channel. You'll have an amazing time whichever you choose!
You miss to tell us price for lobster
How can you show us the lobster without mentioning the price? It must be nice to live in a world where price is no limitation. Bon appetit
@ChrisKermis
7 ай бұрын
I think the bill came to around 60 Euros or so for the lobster, sides and a small additional course, shared between 2 people. Cheap by European standards but of course more expensive than what I would normally eat in Morocco. Please don’t make assumptions that price is no limitation to me, that was a one off treat.
