Totally recommended if you are looking for an authentic Moroccan experience! Sidi Kaouki is a small village by the ocean, perfect place for surfers but amazing also for people who just want to explore some sea and untouched nature. Essaouira is close to Sidi Kaouki, if you want to enjoy some "city life" sometimes.

Sarah was a lovely host and made me feel welcome from the start in her gorgeous home.
I was given clear instructions on what was expected of me and Sara was there if I needed anything.
The tasks were easy and enjoyable and I had lots of free time to explore or just relax.
Thank you for having me Sara and big wave to Mohammed too 👋

Sidi Kaouki is a small and beautiful town where you will find friends and unforgettable experiences, the touristic city of Essaouira is near so you can get there anything you will need.
