Traditional Markets & Local Life
Immersion in the heart of Moroccan rural traditions
An authentic immersion
Discover the great rural markets that punctuate the week in the Essaouira countryside. Each outing plunges you into the lively and colourful atmosphere of local souks: scents of spices, merchants' calls, donkeys carrying loads, argan cooperatives and oases below.
