The MER Edition
An adventure trek along the shores of the Atlantic Ocean
Invitation to travel
The Trek Des Gazelles By Mélanie invites you to Essaouira, the city of the trade winds, for a unique journey along the shores of Morocco's Atlantic Coast.
Our caravan sets off from the beach of the old Mogador, to the rhythm of the waves and the light on the ocean, the landscapes transform.
Following in the wake of the dromedaries, our route crosses vast beaches of fine sand. In the distance, on the majestic cliffs, stand argan trees, the region's endemic tree.
Lovers of the sea, the air and the earth, let yourself be enchanted by the invigorating energy of the elements... this journey is yours.
Essaouira, the City of Trade Winds
Essaouira, the city of the trade winds, captivates from the very first moment. From its 18th-century ramparts, erected by Théodore Cornut, a breathtaking view unfolds across the vast Atlantic Ocean. The medina, a UNESCO World Heritage , is a true treasure where every alleyway reveals a rich architectural heritage.
In the heart of the city, artisans showcase their talent: sculpted objects, refined pieces and creations inspired by the traditions of the maâlems of yesteryear testify to a unique know-how.
Then comes the time to take a break at the fishing port. There, you can savor freshly caught fish and shellfish in an authentic atmosphere — an unmissable culinary experience.
The dunes-backed beaches of Essaouira appeal to surfers and kitesurfers alike, as well as visitors seeking tranquility. The oceanic climate invites leisurely strolls and relaxation while gazing at a soothing horizon.
