On the road, Marrakech to Essaouira

We said goodbye to Marrakech and drove to Essaouira, a fishing port and tourist town on the Atlantic Ocean. It was a pleasant drive through rolling hills and orchards of argan trees, from which a marvelous oil for cosmetic use comes.

On the way we stopped at a women’s cooperative where the fruit of the argan tree is processed into cosmetic as well as heart-healthy gourmet oil and other high-end personal care products https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argan_oil

I managed to bring a lot of it back to Saudi Arabia with me.

Wonderful group activity photo, Helen. The blues are really striking and lend appeal to the composition. Vote.

A wonderful picture and I love the "shy" smile from that second lady. Really nice.
