If you're looking for a holiday destination that combines stunning landscapes, natural adventures, and the warmth of local culture, then you can't help but come to Morocco, to Essaouira.
The Bride of the Atlantic
Also known as Mogador, the "Bride of the Atlantic," Essaouira is one of those coastal cities where the slow pace of life and frenetic aquatic activities blend seamlessly. You can stroll peacefully in the shade of its ramparts, or climb up to the parapet for a stroll and admire the Purple Islands and the local wildlife that inhabits the area's natural expanses. In the distance, you'll be greeted by surfers who populate the city's pristine waters, taking advantage of the ocean breezes that blow along Essaouira's coasts almost year-round.
We also recommend visiting the fish market and watching the fishermen and traders at work. The shops sell splendid local handicrafts, such as thuja wood products, embroidered clothes, and rugs. Essaouira is truly the ideal destination for a stay filled with history, art, and adventure.
Its stunning seaside medina , officially listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, its fortress, its bright white walls, the laid-back attitude of its inhabitants, the Kasbah, and its artisan workshops make Essaouira a unique city waiting to be discovered. And here, we at Ranch de Diabat can help.
Activities at the Ranch de Diabat
With our wide selection of activities, you'll have the opportunity not only to visit a wonderful city, but also to fully experience the culture and history of its people. You can choose from trekking and horseback riding, ATV excursions, camel treks, or hiking.
Since 1995, when the idea first took shape in the minds of two enterprising kids, today, with the growth of our staff and family, we've added many wonderful activities to our list, such as treasure hunts in the Medina of Essaouira, yoga in nature, and fishing. We believe that showcasing the beauty of our land, and respecting the wonders it offers, is the first step towards conscious tourism.
Our desire to go further and progress has led us down a path full of satisfaction, but we weren't satisfied, so we decided to surprise you again with something completely new.
Birdwatching in Morocco, Essaouira

Morocco perfectly captures the imagination of those who imagine long stretches of dunes and ancient, sun-baked villages. But it's not just oases and desert: Morocco also offers natural landscapes of snow-capped mountains and green coniferous forests. It's the country with the richest birdlife in all of North Africa, and its geographical features ensure exciting birdwatching.
Birdwatching isn't simply a pastime; it requires a genuine passion that proves relaxing and healthy in many ways. First and foremost, practicing it allows you to escape the stresses of everyday life by immersing yourself in a natural environment. Furthermore, observing birds in their habitat is also educational for adults and children.
