In this region, where Morocco’s Argan trees are most abundant, we first visit the Argan Oil Cooperative and get information about Argan Oil. Then we arrive in the city of Essaouira, located on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean. This world-famous former Portuguese city reminds us of old Bodrum. Declared a “World Heritage” site by UNESCO, the city is not only a fishing harbor on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean and a seaside town where art and culture intertwine, but has also been the setting for many productions such as Orson Welles’s Othello and the recently very popular Game of Thrones series. The city’s fortress, fishing harbor, and the Medina built inspired by ancient Roman cities are among the places to see. You can explore the city among its narrow labyrinth-like streets that you will never get tired of wandering and enjoy some pleasant shopping. After our tour, we set off for Agadir, which has earned the title of “Sun City” with its sunny climate for 300 days of the year. Our journey between Essaouira and Agadir takes place accompanied by magnificent views of the Atlantic Ocean coastline. When we arrive in Agadir, we go to the cable car station to ascend the famous Oufella hill. During our cable car ride and from the Oufella hill where we descend, we take in views of Agadir, which stands out with its wide beach stretching along the ocean coast and modern architecture, and we take plenty of photos. Then transfer to our Agadir hotel and free time to rest. Dinner and accommodation at our hotel. (After dinner, we recommend that you take a walk along the promenade stretching along the Agadir coastline and have something to drink at the cafes.)

Today, the Medina, which also serves as a handicrafts museum, is home to Morocco’s eye-catching stone, ceramic, and wood craftsmanship and also houses the most talented artisans.  After our Agadir tour, we set off to go to Marrakech.
