In this region of Morocco where Argan trees are most abundant, we first visit an Argan Oil Cooperative and learn about Argan Oil. Then we arrive in Essaouira, a city located on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean. It reminds us of old Bodrum and is a world-famous former Portuguese city. Declared a "World Heritage Site" by UNESCO, the city is not only a fishing port on the Atlantic coast and a coastal town where art and culture intertwine, but it has also served as a filming location for many productions, including Orson Welles' Othello and the recently very popular series Game of Thrones.
