Enjoy a photo stop and a panoramic view of the village of Al Ma.
Continue through the countryside and the impressive gorges of Paradise Valley -- another world of steep limestone walls of the deep incisions into the landscape.
Take an easy-to-moderate walk down into the valley, led by your informative guide. (S)he will tell you about the local flora and fauna and region's the interesting natural history. In a botanical garden, view the plethora of plants used for artisanal extraction of essential oils. The argan tree is indigenous to the arid southwest region of Morocco. This thorny tree has a deep root system that is well adapted to the semi-desert environment. Characterized by its toughness, an argan tree can live up to 200 years. The rare oil produced from the argan tree, in its purest form, is well-known across the globe for its exceptional quality, and accordingly, its stratospheric price tag.
Continue past a collection of interesting local towns before returning to the pier.
