The excursion

On Wednesdays, the village of Ida Ougourd, in the Essaouira hinterland, holds its weekly souk: farm produce, argan oil, pottery, animals. Smaller than Had Draa and closer (25 km), just as authentic.

Half a day is enough. You set the departure time and how long you stay; the driver waits for you and brings you back whenever you like.

Example of a day

  1. Pick-up at the time you choose
  2. Drive to Ida Ougourd (about 30 minutes)
  3. Free visit of the souk: the driver waits for you
  4. Return to Essaouira, with a photo stop if you wish
