What To Expect
PERLE DE SIDI M'BARK
Transportation will be provided by me, and we will agree in advance on the meeting point. Once you arrive, either I, Youssef, or my friend Lahcen will be there to welcome you. We’ll begin with a visit to the local farms, where you can take a moment to relax and enjoy a traditional Berber breakfast. You'll also have the chance to experience authentic Berber farming using traditional tools. Next, we’ll head to the beautiful Sidi M’barek waterfall — the view is truly breathtaking. After that, we’ll continue toward the sand dunes that lead to the beach. As a fisherman myself, I invite you to join me for a fishing experience, where I’ll show you the traditional methods we use. We’ll end the adventure with a delicious lunch by the sea.

A lovely and informative day

5.00We had a really great time. Our hosts were friends and welcoming, and told us about their family and history of the area. The food on the beach was AMAZING - cooked fresh and better than most of the meals we had in town. A really amazing experience. The walk is quite long and through sometimes tricky terrain, so be aware of that if you have mobility issues.

5.00An immersive experience in Berber culture. Youssef welcomes us home for a Moroccan breakfast as good as hearty. The manufacture of argan oil, the properties of different plants, the discovery of desert landscapes, a lunch facing the sea, a memorable day with a guide who is anxious to transmit the richness of nature around. Youssef is both caring, funny, concerned about our well-being throughout the day. An excursion that I highly recommend!

5.00Such an amazing day, a bit of a hike down to the beach learning about the farming and plants in the area. Everything was perfect from the breakfast to the fresh caught lunch. Just to relax by ocean and enjoy being here. Definitely a highlight of our trip. Our guide and his family are truly kind people.
