The excursion

Twenty minutes from Essaouira, the Ounagha plain is home to the only vineyard on Morocco's Atlantic coast and dozens of women's cooperatives that press argan oil by hand. Tasting at the estate, lunch under the olive trees, then a look at how argan nuts are cracked.

A relaxed half day, at the time that suits you. The driver waits at every stop; you can add a stop to see the goats perched in the argan trees on the Marrakech road.

  2. Drive to Ounagha (about 25 minutes)
