People travel from all over the world to Essaouira to purchase native Moroccan argan oil at the local women’s cooperative. It’s exciting to see the entire process to create this oil, done by hand into one of the most versatile oils imaginable, delicious in salads and as an anti-aging and moisturizing treatment for the skin.
Continuing the journey, we’ll enjoy a fresh lunch from the sea, prepared on the spot. Good for both photo and surfing opportunities, the beach here is an ideal spot for relaxing and sunbathing. It’s truly the best place to chill after a trip to the desert. We’ll return to Marrakech around 6 pm.
