Description

After a gentle drive of 30 minutes towards the Agadir-Marrakech High-way, we will stop to spot the famous Goats climbing the argan trees. Goats in Morocco only climb one particular type of tree, the Argan Tree, That can only be found in the middle of Morocco around the atlas mountains. The tree produces small yellowish flowers, which then produce small fruit. The fruit’s seed is within a nut, which is further surrounded by soft flesh and tough outer skin. ​ The fruit’s pulp is what attracts the goats to the argan trees. While the creatures will happily keep all hooves firmly on the ground and graze on low-hanging fruit, once they have gobbled the easy-to-reach produce they will scramble up into the tree in search of more. The fruit is not consumed by humans. Moroccan goats discovered a meal that they both enjoy and do not need to compete for. The return to the hotel is scheduled at around 12 o'clock.
