goats on argan trees: the argan tree is also nicknamed "the goat tree" because they love its fruits. They climb it with surprising ease, clinging to branches, settling there and tasting its fruits. They actually eat only the pulp and reject the kernel which is then collected by the inhabitants to make oil for their own use.
Women's cooperative for the extraction of argan oil: The cooperative exclusively employs women to work the nuts. These cooperatives are quite numerous between Essaouira and Marrakech. This allows paid work to be provided to women and thus gives them some autonomy. About 2,000 women work in these cooperatives.
By the time travelers reach Essaouira, they will have approximately five hours of free time to explore this magnificent city. we will indicate some places to visit in this city.

A reconfirmation, top agency, everything perfect without problems. The driver always attentive and available to meet our every request. See you soon
Thanks
In my opinion and my family it was not a good experience because of the following: 1. We booked in Spanish and the driver did not speak Spanish. 2. We did not feel safe during the journey as the driver spent talking on the phone throughout the journey 3. The van we came in had a big leak and people came in getting wet.
It was a nice trip and a beautiful city to see. Nice on the beach. I would recommend it to anyone. If you are going to put on clothes that are wind resistant because there is also a lot of wind.
Thanks
We have been in Marrakech for a few days, and we have taken advantage of hiking to Essaouira. We were in the area dea medina, highly recommended, it is very nice. To eat we went to the same port, there we bought the fish and right next to us they made it from coal. Very good everything. All very ambience and lots of craftsmanship in this city. 100% recommended. And not to mention Abdul, the person who has organized everything since Marrakech. A big hug.
Gracias
We really enjoyed this tour, we were very happy with the service offered. The only catch is that it is a long journey for a day, I recommend to go one day and return another, to know Essaouira a little more thoroughly
Gracias
The trip is a bit heavy, about three hours by mini bus, but the city is well worth it: beautiful port, beach, fortress, fresh fish to eat and authentic artisan shops at a very good price
Gracias
Recommended experience. The organization contacted me a day before to have my phone number and we organized the round trip very well. The trip was pleasant and the driver drove very well. We arrived in Essaouira around 12:30 and they left us free until 5:00 p.m. During that time we ate and had time to see Essaouira. A very nice and beautiful place. It's worth going. On our return we arrived at 9:00 p.m. A little late in my opinion, it would have been better to leave earlier in the morning and return earlier in the afternoon. Otherwise, very attentive and well organized.
Thanks
On June 17, we made the excursion to Essaouira from Marrakech with Ayoub Belgot. From minute one highlight your punctuality and your great attention. We were a small group of five people, and it accommodated everyone's requests (we stopped to visit an Argan cooperative, to buy watermelons and ceramics at the roadside stalls...) and already there, it gave us freedom of movement, with recommendations to visit the port and eat, and again great punctuality in pickup. The condition of your vehicle is noteworthy, it meets all safety and comfort standards and was very clean. He shared his wifi and music with us and was very attentive. Doubtless doing the excursion with Ayoub was a success and a highly recommended experience. Very friendly and diligent in the treatment, if you have the opportunity to make the excursion with him, do not hesitate for a moment!!! Ah! And he made us an exquisite tea with all the Moroccan charm. Chokran Ayoub Belgot!!! Nice to meet you. Nuria and Izaro. (Bilbao)

We had four hours to explore Essaouira and really enjoyed the contrast to Marrakech. All-in-all a great experience with a professional, reliable and courteous tour operator.
