Testimonial
Through the tourist office in Essaouira we booked a car and driver to take us to the Had Draa market. The driver was a very kind and careful driver. He spoke French fluently and English fluently, which allowed me to practice my French and still understand what was going on. He warned us that we were very late to visit the market, but it certainly didn’t seem that way from our point of view. He parked the vehicle and took us on a very complete tour of the market pointed out all sorts of interesting stalls. He took us by the beekeepers, which was interesting for me since I keep bees myself. I would highly recommend this service. It was comfortable and informative and a lot of fun.
Superbe journée atypique autour d’Essaouira avec notre guide Younes et un vrai repas chez l’habitant dans la tradition Berbère. Visite du souk Had Dara et le village des pêcheurs tagnza la doune sidi moubarak. Petite randonnee dans la nature entre les roches, le désert et les forêts d’arganiers, très accessible. Un grand Merci à Younes que je recommande vivement.
