    Guided tour of Essaouira

    10 janvier 2020, Maroc ⋅ 🌙 46 °F

    Enjoy a guided tour of Essaouira this morning, starting around 9am, and discover its narrow lanes, artisans’ workshops, and bustling ishing harbor. We’ll enter the medina—a UNESCO World Heritage Site full of white-washed houses with cheerily painted blue doors—perhaps catching the pungent scent of freshly caught sardines grilling in the open
    air and glimpsing dormant cannons standing guard over the ishing leets on the wharf. We’ll stroll through winding, narrow alleyways that make up the city center and watch as craftsmen carve ornate trinkets and boxes of lemonwood, briarwood, and mother of pearl inlay. Essaouira, once home to a large Jewish community, still has façades with the Star of David carved into them. We’ll also visit a series of commanding forts built along the seafront that are a mixture of Portuguese, French, and Berber military architecture    En savoir plus

    Hidden Gems of Mogador

    10 janvier 2020, Maroc ⋅ 🌙 57 °F

    Learn about the making of Argan oil—a process that begins with tree-climbing goats. The Argan tree, which is native to Morocco and Algeria, produces a plum-like fruit with a pit or nut in the center. The goats (which we may or may not observe) have adapted to climb the thorny, gnarled branches of the tree to eat the fruit, but cannot digest the center, and it is from this “nut” that Argan oil is made.
    We’ll stop at a nearby village for its colorful Berber market. Then, we’ll walk through countryside groves of Argan trees with cameras poised, ready for a photo of these unusual animals. Around 10:30am, we’ll visit a local women’s cooperative that specializes in Argan production to learn how this useful oil is made.    En savoir plus
