Start with a brief city tour, visiting Place Mohammed V and admiring the city’s stunning Moresque buildings. Explore downtown, the Quartier Habous, and Ain Diab.

Craftsmen have been hand-working metal and leather here since medieval times, often in the same stalls their ancestors once used. Cats roam everywhere, prowling, scrounging, and sleeping—the true mascots of the medina.
Old and new collide in Fez. Donkey drivers chat on mobile phones, and the ancient skyline is dotted with both satellite dishes and minarets.

Day 10
This morning, you’ll be transferred from your hotel to Essaouira. On the way, stop at an Argan oil cooperative where you’ll experience the traditional oil-making process with local women.
The women start by cracking Argan fruits to reach the kernels. After roasting the kernels to bring out the flavor, they cool them before grinding them into a thick, oily paste using a traditional rock grinder (Azerg).
One of the women then mixes the oily paste with warm water and hand-kneads it, bringing the pure Argan oil to the surface for filtering. The leftover brown dough, called Tazegmount, is protein-rich and used for cosmetics or as animal feed.
You’ll learn about every step of the process, from harvesting the fruits to making Argan oil products. Enjoy a Berber lunch at the cooperative before continuing your journey to Essaouira.
Once in Essaouira, you’ll have the rest of the day to enjoy at leisure. Overnight at the hotel.
