    Essaouira

    Discover the city of the wind and have a vision of Morocco other than Marrakech. Sun, endless shades of blue, in the sky, but also on both sides in the city on the old doors, the dishes sold in the markets, a beach still little filled at the end of March, of beautiful little nooks and crannies, and a decor worthy of the best expectations of Morocco. Truly exotic, and certainly one of the most beautiful days in Morocco.

    Essaouira

    On the road, Travelers will have two main steps: - Goats on argan trees: the argan tree is also nicknamed "the goat tree" because they love its fruits. They climb it with surprising ease, cling to the branches, settle there and taste its fruits. They eat only the pulp and discard the kernel which is then collected by the inhabitants to make oil for their use. - Female 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 makes it possible to provide women with paid work and thus obtain a certain autonomy. About 2000 women work in these cooperatives.
