Day 01
Agadir to Essaouira via Tamanar and the Argan Route
- The first stop will be at the Tamanar town station, a Berber town, where you can rest for a while.
- The second stop will be along the way to take photos of the goats that climb the argan tree to eat the fresh nuts.
- The third stop will be at a female cooperative of Berber women who work with local products such as the famous argan. Then, you will arrive in the city, where you will have almost three hours of free time to enjoy a complete visit to Mogador and its main monuments.
- First, visit the Scala del Puerto, where you will marvel at the panoramic view of the port and the sea.
- Then, if you are hungry, you can eat fish at the restaurants in the port, or enter the port and buy fish yourself and take it to a restaurant to grill or fry it. This option does not cost much money. You can also eat at the restaurants and snack spots inside the city.
- Next, you will enter the city, which is characterized by three different neighbourhoods:
- The kasbah includes the old administrative district.
- The old city is located between two axes: the first connects Bab Doukkala with the port, and the second extends from Bab Marrakech toward the sea. At the confluence of these two axes, several specialized markets were established.
- Al-Mallah is the Jewish quarter that played an essential role in the city's history.
- After visiting these neighbourhoods, you will also visit the city walls, the mosque, and the souk before heading to the city's seafront promenade, where you will admire the panoramic view of the island and the beach.
- After your tour time is finished, you will find the driver nearby waiting for you for the journey back to Agadir.
