Why take this tour?

This is a guided donkey walk in the Haha region, 30 km south of Essaouira towards Agadir. It is a fun activity for kids. They can ride on the donkeys and discover an authentic countryside. You will pass hidden traditional Berber villages, walk through dunes and near hidden beaches and finally arrive at the riverside. There will be shepherds and farmers in the countryside going about their daily chores. We will have lunch (delicious goat meat or vegetarian tagine) and a traditional tea ceremony at the family house of our donkey guide, freshly prepared by his wife. The meal in the family’s home gives you an insight into authentic countryside living and eating rituals. They will invite you to eat with your hands and we will all eat from one pot, as they do every day. Of course you will be provided with forks and plates if you wish. As we will be driving through the Argan zone, you have the option to visit an Argan oil cooperative and learn about the production of this beautiful oil - in all the world, a product unique to this area. They will offer us a taste of the lovely things they make with it, too. Very likely you will see the famous goats in the trees on this tour to the south of Essaouira.
