At our surf retreat, we also want you to have some traditional Moroccan experiences.

We will show you how argan oil is made. You can try making it yourself, taste it, and of course buy some to take home with you.

On one visit, we went to a small argan oil company and tried traditional argan oil and amlou — the sweet almond-and-argan spread that is hard to stop eating.

Argan oil is part of Morocco's story. Seeing it made by hand, by the people who have done it for generations, is very different from buying a bottle at home.

The argan oil cooperative visit is included in the November retreat.
