The Medina of Essaouira forms a single large historical ensemble. It notably brings together the sectors of Bab Sbaa, Bab Marrakech, Bab Doukkala, Chbanat, Kasbah and Mellah: these names describe doors or internal sectors, not six independent real estate districts.
The Kasbah is the historic administrative core of the Medina of Essaouira. Its orderly streets, its old houses and its proximity to the ramparts require a precise reading of each building.
Chbanat is an inhabited sector of the Medina of Essaouira, connected to workshops, shops and daily routes. Its real estate interest comes from a living fabric rather than a monumental image.
The Mellah is a major historic sector of the Medina of Essaouira, linked to the Jewish memory of Mogador. Its heritage and the variable state of the buildings require a particularly cautious real estate approach.
Derb Ahl Agadir is a micro-sector of the Medina of Essaouira. Real estate quality is judged on the scale of the alley, access, light and the actual condition of the house.
Derb Beni Antar is a residential landmark inside the Medina of Essaouira. It does not constitute a separate city and must remain linked to the overall reading of the ancient fabric.
