Program
Day 1: Arrival
Arrival in Essaouira and accommodation at Riad Zahra or Riad Le Khan Mogador, where the hospitality is always impeccable.
Two and a half hours before sunset, meet at the Ranch (located 5 minutes from the Riad) for the first exciting quad adventure on the high dunes of Cap Sim at sunset and along the beautiful deserted beach.
To end this day perfectly, an unmissable dinner celebrating "Made in Italy": you will be guests at Maurizio’s La Taverna Bolognese, who came from Italy to live in Essaouira and will delight you with his delicacies. On the menu: Bolognese Lasagna and Tiramisu. For children, a menu suitable for all ages and for vegetarians or those with food allergies, dishes adapted to their needs.
Day 2: Visit to Essaouira and horseback ride on the beach
After breakfast, Essaouira deserves a visit, with a Medina listed as a UNESCO heritage site that has much to tell, and the port where fishing boats arrive with the day’s catch. A walk to the Skala offers an incredible view from the bastions over the ocean.
Lunch based on fish in the main square where small restaurants prepare freshly grilled fish on the spot. It’s time to meet at the Ranch for a beautiful horseback ride on the beach.
A brief preparation and then two hours on horseback along the beach; for beginners, a half-hour riding lesson in the riding arena before the outing. It will be a breathtaking ride full of memorable photos. It’s time to leave, mind and heart full of wonderful experiences.
