Essaouira Markets and Shopping: Finding Authentic Souvenirs

Essaouira markets offer unique shopping without Marrakech's aggressive selling. Browse thuya wood, argan oil, spices, textiles, and silver in relaxed environments.

Shopping Strategy

Start prices at 40% of asking, walk away if uncomfortable, compare shops before buying, ask artisans about their craft. Best authentic items: cooperative argan oil, direct-from-artisan thuya pieces, locally designed textiles.
