Top Essaouira Water Equipment Rentals

Traditional Moroccan cuisine is rightly considered one of the tastiest and finest in North Africa. We will meet in the old medina, place de l'Horloge, and will immediately go shopping in the markets of Essaouira. We will explore all the markets and buy the fresh ingredients from the locals to buy food. Later we will go home, I will receive you with Moroccan mint tea. After that we are getting ready to cook together, I will show you how to cook our couscous step by step and I will share with you all the recipes I learned from my grandmother. Finally, we appreciate our work, we will savor our preparations with a great Berber mint tea! I'll show you the secret of good! Welcome to Essaouira with another kind of experience different from regular cooking classes.

Ride a camel across Essaouira’s beaches, dunes and forests on a 2-hour guided ride. Take in the rhythmic sway of the camel’s gait from a traditional saddle, and absorb stunning views of the Atlantic coast. Scramble up the sides of steep sandy dunes, explore shady forests and get a camel’s-eye view of Essaouira’s tranquil countryside.

This half-day excursion takes us to Sidi Mbark, a small Berber village 35 km south of Essaouira. We walk to a little cascade and close by visit the old Marabout (residence for the spirit of a Saint or wise man). Here, the convergence of a large sand dune, a small river, and an imposing rock splendidly frames a lovely bay. We are invited to a family from the region for a traditional Berber tea ceremony at the end of the walk. There is the option to have a donkey with a guide on the walk, which is fun for kids to ride.

Get into the waves in Essaouira by renting a surfboard for anywhere from a half a day to a week. You need to be over 15 to rent a board, or else be accompanied by an adult. The recommendation is that you are a good swimmer, and ideally have had a lesson before you go out. Wetsuits, showers, and changing facilities are included in the rental price.

Ideally located on the Essaouira spot, you are less than 50 meters on foot from the waves of the bay allowing you to quickly become autonomous and to taste in complete safety the true pleasure of Surfing. At Bleukite you will find recent equipment of all sizes with foam or resin boards. All this in a very friendly atmosphere with lovely prices.

If you already know how to kitesurf and are comfortable enough to head into the water without an instructor, then you may want to just rent your own equipment. That said, it’s never a bad idea to reserve your gear in advance to guarantee it will be waiting for you when you arrive. This activity allows you to guarantee your equipment for a half- or full-day.
