What agencies ask
- Is it a very long day?
- It is a long day with a drive each way. For a slower pace we recommend adding a night in Essaouira.
- Is the argan stop a shopping stop?
- It is a visit to a women's cooperative to see how the oil is made. Buying is optional.
- Is it windy?
- Often, which is why it is a kitesurfing town. We advise guests to bring a warm, windproof layer.
