About Gnaoua Green Essaouira

Gnaoua Green is not simply a cannabis shop: it is a cultural space rooted in the intersection of Essaouira’s Gnaoua musical tradition and the kif culture that has always been part of that tradition. The Gnaoua are a Moroccan people of Sub-Saharan African descent whose spiritual music — called Lila — uses trance, rhythm, and traditionally also cannabis as tools for spiritual and therapeutic ritual. Gnaoua Green honours this heritage in its programming: regular live Gnaoua music sessions, kif ceremony experiences, and a curated selection of traditional and modern cannabis products.

The venue sits near Place Moulay Hassan — Essaouira’s lively central square, ringed with cafe terraces and constantly busy with street musicians, tourists, and the social life of the town. During the annual Gnaoua World Music Festival, which draws international artists and tens of thousands of visitors to Essaouira every June, Gnaoua Green becomes one of the festival’s informal hubs. Year-round, it remains one of the most culturally rich cannabis experiences in Morocco — a place where kif is inseparable from music, community, and a five-century-old Moroccan cultural tradition.
