Travel 35 km south of Essaouira for a guided coastal walk through dunes, fields and a quiet beach to Sidi Mbark’s cascade and marabout.

An argan cooperative visit may be added.

“What an amazing walk! From the welcome, company and knowledge of Faassel to the scenery and atmosphere of the walk - cannot recommend enough! The walk itself was amazing but the tea break near the end showed such hospitality and warmth and made everything about the trip exceptional!!!”
