Transfer by minibus to Essaouira (3 hour drive) via Chichaoua. Installation in a medina riad for four nights. Lunch at the fish market, in general. With the help of the guide. Then, free tour of Essaouira, former Mogador: its fishing port founded by the Portuguese and later conquered by the French, its citadel, medina, labyrinth of white houses with blue doors and windows...

We follow the beautiful beach between forest and sea - small sand dunes covered with junipers and eucalyptus, boats drawn on the sand - until Ma'lahlou, "sweet water," then return through the forest to visit the ruins of the sugar factory and the village of Diabat, located on the heights with a spectacular view of the ocean.

Transfer to the village of Sidi m'Barek, known for its hot spring that flows in small waterfalls towards the ocean (beautiful views of the rocky coast where cacti and argan trees cling). The locals will almost certainly invite us to tea with pancakes and argan oil. Walk along the vast beaches between dunes and ocean to the charming traditional village of Sidi Kaouki, where we board a vehicle back to Essaouira.

Transfer to Sidi Ahmed Assayh; walk along impressive limestone ledges on the heights. We meet a lot of lone fishermen. Arrival in the Assif n'Boud dunes, a small river leading to the sea. Lunch with a village family included pancakes dipped in argan oil as an aperitif, fish couscous, and other dishes, as well as the traditional tea

After a hearty breakfast, depart for Marrakech, arriving late in the morning. The afternoon and evening are left to enjoy the charm of the Djemaa el-Fna square and the riches of the "red city," which is very lively after the calm of Essaouira.
