A DAY EXCURSION TO ESSAOUIRA!

The region of Essaouira is home to the famous Argan tree! Seeing the cloven-hoofed goats climbing trees looking for the fruit’s pulp is a bewildering sight.
They only climb one particular type of tree: the Argania Spinosa typically referred to as the argan tree. The tree is endemic to southwest Morocco. A prickly and thorny tree, it produces small yellowish flowers, which then produce a fairly small fruit. The fruit’s seed is within a nut, which is further surrounded by soft flesh and tough outer skin.
The nut of the argan tree is used to produce the much-sought-after argan oil which is thought to have many beneficial properties and is used for both culinary and cosmetic purposes.
