Can you live unwatched in Essaouira?
Surveillance, facial recognition and crypto rules read here for the city itself, not the national average.
The privacy scorecard
The six marked ° below are read for Essaouira itself. The rest are set by Morocco’s national law, the same across every city in the country.
Childhood vaccines: recommended, never required

If you skip them: Nothing. No school asks, and no fine exists.
Exemptions: Not needed.
