• Essaouira - En route, we may stop briefly at a women’s cooperative for Argan oil production, which is part of the INDH initiative (National Initiative for Human Development). Upon reaching Essaouira, we’ll explore the harbor that was once an 18th-century global trading hub, connecting Morocco’s Saharan regions with Europe and the wider world. We’ll tour the Medina, designed with the European military architectural styles of the era in mind, including La Scala with its ancient cannons facing the Atlantic, the historic Jewish district ‘El Mellah’, and finally, the central plaza brimming with cafes and shops.
  Following our exploration of the Medina and its vibrant passageways, we’ll dine at an oceanfront restaurant renowned for its seafood and fish dishes (please note, lunch is not covered in the excursion cost). Post-lunch, you’ll have some free time.
