Dit kun je verwachten

Essaouira staat bekend als ‘de Parel van de Atlantische Oceaan', met zijn sfeervolle vissershaven, eeuwenoude soeks, pastelkleurige huizen aan de kust en een levendige Medina die op de Werelderfgoedlijst van UNESCO staat. Op deze dagtocht verken je samen met een gids deze mooie kustplaats. Je bezoekt een Arganolie coöperatie, smult van een typische lunch en hebt wat vrije tijd om door de stad te struinen. Amina, een van onze deskundige lokale gidsen, zegt: "Het oogsten van arganolie is lastig werk. De vruchten worden geplukt van de stekelige takken van de arganboom. De taaie buitenkant wordt vervolgens verwijderd en de harde schil binnenin wordt met de hand opengebroken om de pitten eruit te halen. Na het roosteren worden de pitten vermalen en geperst om de olie te winnen.”

Je vertrekt vroeg in de ochtend uit Agadir en gaat op weg naar Essaouria. En je neemt tijdens een korte tussenstop bij Tamri, een surfers' paradijs, het panoramisch uitzicht op het strand in je op. Vervolgens kom je bij een arganolie coöperatie te weten hoe de olie tot stand komt. Amina voegt daaraan toe: "Arganolie heeft een breed scala aan toepassingen, van culinair tot cosmetisch. Het is rijk aan essentiële vetzuren, antioxidanten en vitamine E, dus perfect voor huid- en haarverzorging.”

Eenmaal aangekomen in Essaouira wandel je met je gids door de ommuurde Medina, die in 2001 de status van UNESCO Werelderfgoed kreeg. Je ziet de haven, een levendige markt, de juwelierswijk en het ambachtscentrum. Een van de typische producten waar je op moet letten zijn de handgemaakte inlegwerkdoosjes gemaakt van lokaal Thuya-hout. Daarna schuif je in een restaurant in de medina aan voor een lunch, gevolgd door vrije tijd om de stad op je eigen tempo te verkennen. Om dan terug te keren naar Agadir.

Morocco's Atlantic Ocean coastline is the star of this tour. Journey through tiny fishing villages and hippie hangouts en route to Taghazout – a stretch of wave-washed sand that's been a surfer's paradise since the 60s. But you won't be joining the surf crowd in the sea – instead you'll hop on a sandboard to zoom down the towering Timlalin dunes.

Ibrahim, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘I was born and bred in Essaouira, but my family moved away when I was 14. Now, when I return, I'm filled with nostalgia as I tour the alleys where I used to play football with my Arab and Jewish friends. Essaouira has always been a multicultural melting pot.'On day one, we'll hit the road to Marrakech, where on arrival you'll delve straight into the medina's warren of tightly-packed streets. Spend the morning taking in sights as we drop by places like Jardin Secret, before lunch at Dar Nejarine. After some free time to explore, we'll head to Djemaa el-Fna at dusk – the best time to see it – before a tasty dinner and traditional entertainment in a riad.On day two we'll head to the coastal city of Essaouira. Its mellow atmosphere, narrow winding streets laden with kaleidoscopic carpets, peeling-paint houses with and heavy old wooden doors make it a wonderful place to wander around. Walk the ramparts of the harbour, known as the Skala, where electric-blue boats bob in the water, or discover the atmospheric medina. There's a lunch stop included followed by free time to explore, before returning to Agadir in the early evening.

Agadir Crocoparc Tour

Agadir Crocoparc is one of Morocco's top things to do. It's home to 400 crocodiles, some of which are over 4 metres long. Watch them dozing on the banks and peering from the water, and coo over the beady-eyed baby crocs in the nursery. And if you're here at feeding time, there's another treat – watching the adults fight over chunks of raw meat.
