Essaouira from marrakech - The experience was great! If you are looking for an authentic berber village, you won't find it here, but if you are looking to have a nice and enjoyable evening, it's totally the right activity. The driver picked us up on time, although the communication guidelines were not very clear at the beginning, I had to proactively email them. Then we stopped for a cup of tea, afterwards moved on to see the sunset. We did not reach the highest peak and the best place to observe it, since we left the village a bit too late, however, it was still very enjoyable. Then we were driven to the establishment where the dinner took place. The food was very nice, enough soft drinks and they were not too pushy with offering alcohol which cost extra. The whole experience felt very touristy, but they really went above and beyond with activities, including a fire show,. The activity is directed towards couples - we were seated at separate tables, it could be made more inclusive for solo travelers.
