About This Experience
Explore the wild Atlantic coast of Morocco on an epic 8-day journey. We will leave behind the hustle and bustle of Marrakech to discover the tranquility of Essaouira, the modern charm of Agadir, and the unspoiled beauty of the south.
This circuit will take you through spectacular coastal landscapes, such as the famous red stone arches of Legzira Beach and the historic city of Sidi Ifni. Venture into the gates of the Western Sahara at Guelmim and Tan-Tan, and marvel at the geographical diversity of the Anti Atlas in Tafraoute. A perfect combination of ocean, desert, and Berber culture.

3. Weather: The Atlantic coast can be windy and cool even in summer, especially at night. Bring light warm clothing (windbreaker).
4. Cash: In rural areas and small towns like Sidi Ifni or Tafraoute, card payment is not always available. Carry enough cash (Dirhams).
