Trek in Essaouira:
The spectacular Atlantic coastline. Our relaxed one-week trip follows coastal paths to the attractive old Portuguese city of Essaouira. On the way we pass secluded fishing villages, Argan tree orchards, deserted sandy beaches and rocky cliff tops.
The trip is led by one of our experienced local guides, assisted by camp and cook staff, and a caravan of camels to carry our luggage. It is about a camel trek without technical difficulty. It is necessary to be in a good physical condition and to be able to walk for 4 to 5hours a day, with a quiet rhythm.
