Goats on Argan trees in Agadir
The Argan tree is indigenous to Morocco and is known for its valuable oil, which is used in cosmetics, cooking, and medicine. The goats play an essential role in the production of Argan oil, as they help to disperse the seeds of the tree by eating the fruits and excreting the seeds, which are then collected and pressed to extract the oil. The sight of the goats on the tree is not only a delightful spectacle but also an intriguing insight into the local way of life and traditions.
After spending some time watching the Goats on Tree and taking pictures, the tour continues to a nearby Argan oil cooperative, where you can see the traditional process of extracting the oil and learn about its various uses and benefits.

Why Do Goats Climb on Trees in Agadir?
In Agadir, it is a common sight to see goats climbing trees in search of food. These agile creatures are able to climb trees as high as 10 meters, thanks to their unique hooves and dewclaws that allow them to grip and hold onto surfaces. The goats are often seen climbing the Argan trees, which are native to Morocco and grow in the arid regions of the country.
The goats' ability to climb trees is truly remarkable, and it's amazing to see them scaling steep angles and jumping from branch to branch in search of food. They are attracted to the sweet smell of the Argan fruit, which they are able to digest despite the hard outer layer.

We went to see the goats on trees and this tour was brilliant. Pick up was easy and on time in an air conditioned vehicle. We were fortunate enough to get the tour on our own so had the opportunity to take lots of photos and even hold a baby goat. The animals look well cared for. Would definitely recommend.
