Join your guide for short ramble in the thuya forest to Sidi Mbarek waterfalls and Sidi Kaouki beach. First stop in the area of DIiabat, a former hippy enclave where the Rolling Stones used to hang out and the inspiration for Jemi Hendrix’s song “Castles Made of Sand”. Visit the nearby ruined old palace.
Continue to Sidi Mbarek, a small Berber village 35 km south of Essaouira, where the trek begins. Walk to the little cascade and visit the old Marabout (tomb of a Saint or wise man) Here, the convergence of a large sand dune, a small river, and an imposing rock splendidly frames a lovely bay. The stream brings some water (water level depends on the seasons/rain) into this very dry region to irrigate local crops. The landscape offers a rich interplay of green, blue and yellow.
Walking time is 45 minutes to reach the cascade and 30 minutes back (round trip 1 hour 15 mins). Continue to Sidi Kaouki, a relaxed surfers’ village, to enjoy a delicious sardine picnic, in an ideal lunch spot overlooking the large sandy beach.On the way back to the city, there is also the option of visiting an Argan cooperative, to learn how precious Argan oil – unique to this area – is produced. The visit includes a tasting of the oil. A great, authentic day out.
