Walk to the cascade and marabout of Sidi Mbark & for a tea to Kaouki
Overview
Available languages
3 hours
Mobile ticket
This half-day excursion takes us to Sidi Mbark, a small Berber village 35 km south of Essaouira. We walk trough dunes and on a lonesome beautiful beach till we reach a little cascade (which is in summer times dry, due to the drought Morocco is facing) and visit the old Marabout close by (residence for the spirit of a Saint or wise man). Here, the convergence of a large sand dune, a small river, and an imposing rock splendidly frames a lovely bay.
We are invited to a local family for a traditional Berber tea ceremony at the end of the walk.
There is the option to have a donkey with a guide on the walk (supplement), which is fun for kids to ride.

5.00Thanks to Faisal our Guide for this nice little hike, his kindness and his smile. He knows the area perfectly and makes us discover absolutely sublime landscapes. Thanks also to the family who welcomed us home with tea and some local preparations (honey is to fall!). Do not hesitate, even if the waterfall is not what it used to be (but Faisal will tell you better than me).
Knowing or planet better.
