Very beautiful excursion in the hinterland of Essaouira, in the countryside and part of the desert. Beautiful visit to the argan oil factory, in the traditional Berber troglodyte dwellings, very impressive. As well as the traditional meal, chicken tagine, delicious, shared with our guide in the donkey village where we were able to buy donkey milk soap at a good price. A truly beautiful day of visiting.
All right.

An amazing day trip to the mountains. I was privileged to be allowed to visit such places. I would highly recommend this day trip to those who fancy a bit of adventure off the beaten track. It was an honour to be made so welcome and visit less trodden sites on the outskirts of Essouria. The traditional tagline served in a Bedouin cave house was an amazing experience. Thank you for such a great day.
