The largest rural market in the Essaouira region takes place every Sunday in Had Draa located 30 km up the road towards Marrakech. The farmers of the region travel there by donkey to offer their crops, animals, and crafts, and to also do their weekly shopping. The gathering at Had Draa is mainly attended by men although everyone socializes, chats over tea with friends, and exchanges news in cafés or under tents. The market gives an authentic insight into daily lives in the Moroccan countryside. Vegetables, fruits, nuts, and spices release their plethora of aromas while the market showcases everything needed to live and work. We sample and taste a variety of foodstuffs. Next door are many cafes with open grills which presents us with the unique opportunity to try fresh grilled dromedary, served along with warm bread, olive and Argan oil, as well as traditional mint tea. HIGHLIGHTS ! Discovering rural life and taste local food.

Day Tour on Dromedary and Overnight Stay Near Essaouira Morocco

Stroll through a forest of argan trees and other species until you reach the ocean. After a walk along the beach, you'll head back up towards the Sidi M'Barek waterfalls, crossing the terraced gardens. Nature offers a magnificent spectacle here. As Morocco has been experiencing drought for some years now, the waterfall is dry at the moment. At lunchtime, you'll be welcomed by a Moroccan family for a solar-cooked tagine. This 12 km morning walk ends in the early afternoon with a crossing of the village of Sidi Ahmed Essayeh. It's a great way to meet people and admire the sumptuous scenery.
