Q1.Can I take pictures everywhere in Essaouira?
Morocco is heaven for professional and amateur photographers. While you can take pictures of most of the attractions around any city, we do advise you to be mindful when photographing people. Our guided walking tour is designed to let you discover the highlights of Essaouira and its local communities. While getting to know the architectural and cultural beauty of Essaouira, and its local residents, please respect local people's privacy and always ask if you can capture them or their products on your camera. You may also be asked for a little tip when taking a picture. We love taking pictures when travelling but what's more important to us is conscious travelling, cultural connections, and mutual respect without invading anyone's privacy.
