Itinerary
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.

Youssef has been a wonderful guide, he has shown us every corner, every bush, every small detail of what seems to be "a place very precious to him" and which has seemed wonderful to us. He had our little ones enthralled with his explanations, and always making them participants in the whole activity, very attentive to them. The food was wonderful and had so much charm in that cave, with that pristine beach as the main view. Thank you for your magnificent worker Youssef, we loved him. Tamara

We enjoyed a lot the hospitality of Youssef. We started the day with a nice Moroccan style breakfast (the bread was freshly baked and warm, thanks to Youssef mother!). Then we tried our hands in making argan oil. During the walk, Youssef showed to us many local herbs and plants explaining what these are used for. He also suggested nice spots for making pictures and helped us making pictures of the whole family. Our teenager son enjoyed the tour and Youssef company too. The weather was nice and pleasant. The lunch at the ocean was delicious. Thanks a lot for this day, Youssef!
Thank you very much for your wonderful review. It was a real pleasure to welcome you and share this day with your family. I’m very happy you enjoyed the traditional breakfast prepared by my mother, the walk through nature, discovering local plants, and the lunch by the ocean. You are always welcome in Sidi M’Barek, and I hope to see you again one day. 🌿
