Magical discovery of Essaouira's history
This walk is designed for people with no or little experience on horses. I take you along some of Essaouira's oldest foundations. We pass by the old Portuguese fortifications and have a splendid view on the island of Mogador. We ride through the sand dunes and the remains of the Palace of Sultan Mohamed Ben Abdullah, founder of Essaouira in the 18th century. From there we have a great view on the village of Diabat as well as the bay of Essaouira. Diabat is my natal village and in 1969 it was visited by Jimi Hendrix. His song "Castle in the Sand" was supposedly inspired by the remains of the Sultan's Palace. Then we pass by the banks of the river Ksab back towards the beach. There are always an interesting collection of birds along the river and we might also run into some goats, donkeys or camels on our way. For this tour I can pick you up at the medina and bring you to my ranch in Diabat. Other things to note This walk is specially designed for people who never rode before. My horses are suited and equipped to welcome novices. For those who are more experiences I cater different experiences. I like to take my guests to my ranch (Aftass), but am also happy to pick you up from a location in the medina.
Dromedary ride sunset
I join my clients at the meeting point of their choice, to drop them near hiking trails, A briefing is organized before each ride to prepare them better. A chiche and a djellaba will be provided to protect them from the wind or the sand stirred by the legs of the dromedaries, several information concerning this faithful companion of the Man since the night of the times, will be revealed to them throughout the course which will last three hours. A picnic break is planned after 1 hour to refuel, and savor this beautiful moment, on the menu: (a Royal Tea + homemade bread + argan oil + homemade cakes). Resumption of the walk between wild beaches, forests, dunes and historical ruins. Back to attend a most wonderful show: a sun suspended at the doors of the sunset between sky and sea. Other things to note There is nothing better than a camel ride, along the shore or across the sand dunes. A great not to be missed. Reason to cover this iconic animal care it deserves.
