This oasis of Ain el Hajar is situated around a spring which brings water to the whole region, and it is characterized by rich forestry resources and agricultural diversity. The oasis was once teeming with palm trees which have progressively been replaced by olive trees, and irrigation systems have been introduced to enable market gardening.
The walk starts at the allegedly biggest argan tree in the region. You will walk across fields and gardens towards the mausoleum of Saint Sidi Bourahmoune.
You will then continue to a vantage point offering a stunning view of the oasis, right up to the spring. You might even come across a stone mason, carving the stones which serve as millstones for olive oil extraction.
At the end of the morning we will pass by a basket maker and will see how he weaves with the rush. This is a family business and according to the famous moroccan hospitality the will serve us a traditional tea there.

Frédérique et Edouard notre guide ont été très disponibles et accueillant pour la réservation et la visite. Edouard est venu nous chercher en voiture à 1 minute de notre Riad, et nous avons pu découvrir l'oasis avec un guide très cultivé, qui a su répondre à chacune de nos questions. La rencontre avec les tisseurs, et leur hospitalité ont été super et nous les en remercions.
Les paysages étaient magnifiques et le temps a été très bon. Si nous revenons à Essaouira, nous n'hésiterons pas à refaire appel à vous pour organiser une nouvelle visite dans un autre lieu magnifique !
