Unique dinner experience

Melanie_G, Apr 2026

Took part in this experience our last night in Essaouira and it was probably the most unique place I’ve ever had dinner. The hike itself is about an hour long, not overly challenging, but running shoes are highly recommended given the rocky terrain, and then sand dunes. The waterfalls were quite underwhelming… not sure if this was due to low water levels at the time we visited or if they’re always like this? The dinner portion was good. When we arrived we were served thyme tea (would have preferred traditional Moroccan) and some cookies while dinner was prepared. I was expecting everyone to have their own tagine, but instead it was served family style, and because my husband does not eat fish, everyone was served the chicken option. I had really been looking forward to some fresh fish while he had chicken. The cave is well set up, with low tables, carpets to sit on and pillow to lean up against. It was a very windy day, and the cave was pretty sheltered from the wind. Our guide even made a small fire. I was expecting Moroccan lanterns on the tables (not sure why?) but it only had a few small torches on the rocks. Ambiance was ok, but lanterns would have pushed it over the top. We ate as the sun set and were served oranges and bananas for dessert. Once the sun was close to setting, we made our way back to the vans. Transportation was not included but arranged for us by the operator, and I found that part expensive at 150 MAD per person for a 30 minute ride both ways. Overall it was enjoyable, and our guide was very nice and sweet. It just maybe fell short for me in a couple of areas. It was certainly a very unique experience though.

A great evening with an easily arranged shared taxi to the location, a lovely walk through flora to the beautiful cave setting for dinner. You could choose vegetarian, fish or chicken individually to eat. Afterwards you walk underneath the stars back to the road where the taxi is waiting. Youssef was fantastic too

Truly one of a kind experience

Nicolle_S, Dec 2025

We had the most amazing hike during sunset hours. The scenery was absolutely spectacular and our guide was wonderful, taking great pictures, video memories and sharing information about the culture. The dinner set up was also beautiful and the fresh caught fish delicious. This was truly a one of a kind experience, that we’ll all cherish. I can only recommend this activity to anyone that loved to spend time outdoors.

Stunning views and a fantastic dinner.

Shane_M, Dec 2025

I’ve been coming to Essaouira for years, and when some friends came to visit, I wanted to plan something truly unique beyond the usual Medina and beach experience. The tour guides arranged a taxi to take us to the cascades, about a 45-minute drive south of Essaouira near Sidi Kaouki. Our driver dropped us along the highway where we met our guide, who led us on a scenic hike down to the cascades, which were absolutely beautiful. From there, he took us to a stunning overlook where we could see both the cascades and the point where the stream flows into the ocean, right beside towering sand dunes that looked like the Sahara. We climbed to the top of the dunes and watched the sun set over the Atlantic.As dusk fell, we walked down across the dunes to the beach and then over to a small beachfront cave where dinner had been set up. The setting was incredibly cozy and atmospheric. We enjoyed a delicious fish tagine while talking together as the stars slowly appeared overhead. It truly felt like a scene from Arabian Nights. After dinner, we made our way back to the taxi under moonlight. We highly recommend wearing good walking shoes and bringing a headlamp or making sure your phone is fully charged to use as a flashlight for the return walk. This was a magical, once-in-a-lifetime kind of experience and a perfect way to see a completely different side of the Essaouira region. Highly recommended.

Un grand merci pour votre commentaire ! Votre enthousiasme nous touche profondément. Nous espérons avoir le plaisir de vous faire découvrir encore plus de beauté et de calme lors de votre prochaine visite à Sidi M’Barek.

Nice, recommended excursion!

Nicole_B, Jan 2026

The location Bab marrakech had confused us a bit, because it is displayed elsewhere on Google maps. But it was simply meant by the city gate out. Arriving by taxi we met our guide, very kind and attentive. We went out and had very beautiful landscapes and good conversations. The food was already prepared appropriately in time and was very delicious. I thought it was nice that you could take your time with everything, which is usually rather rare on trips. The starry sky was also incredibly great and you could come to rest well, we felt well accompanied and found everything very well prepared and coordinated with us. Thanks for that!
