A riverside walk from the outskirts of Essaouira
This half-day walk (3-4 hours) starts at the entrance to town and rises to the top of a hill with a beautiful panoramic view over Essaouira’s bay, the town itself, and the Islands of Mogador.
Following a shady break while passing through a small Eucalyptus forest on the way to the riverside of "Oued Ksob". Although the river’s water level is normally low, it flows through a gentle canyon lined with Argan trees; the combination of water and hills is charming.
Arriving at the dunes between sea and the Diabat village visit the ruins of the old sultan’s palace of Sidi Ben Abdallah.
The walk ends with mint tea and Moroccan pastry at the Hendrix Café in Diabat. Tea and transport back to Essaouira is included.

Note that the online map offers both a satellite view (click satellite in the top right) and, for some locations, a street level view (Drag the person in the top left onto the map). These let you explore the country; and when you wish to explore in person, or if you have any questions about the places you see, give our staff a call, or request a quote. Our staff regularly visit the places and accommodation that we feature.
When you book a holiday with us we will provide full driving instructions for reaching your accommodation, where necessary; these can be used by yourself, or you could enjoy the luxury of a driver.
