Morocco is one of the most popular eastern destinations in Africa. Its four magical royal cities Fez, Meknes, Marrakech and Rabat are irresistibly fascinating. In addition to its varied landscapes and its cities with their rich cultural heritage, this enchanting country offers exceptional seaside prospects on its Atlantic coast. Behind holiday resorts the hinterland features high plateaus and green valleys dominated by powerful Berber kasbahs which look like castles.
This harbour town set on the Atlantic coast is always green, despite an almost desert-like climate. The huge beach, which is 8 km long and up to 100 m wide, is popular for surfing and has a pretty sea promenade dotted with many cafés and shops. The fascinating hinterland invites you to unforgettable escapades... The valley of the Souss lemon trees, the mountains of the Anti-Atlas or the oases of the Sahara are waiting for you!
Agadir is a modern city. Only the ruins of the 15th century Kasbah, which tower over the fishing harbour and the old town on a 236 metre high hill, give a hint of the past. Since 2009, a new promenade between the hotels and the 7 km long fine sandy beach invites you to stroll. The destination offers perfect conditions for beach activities and relaxation. Distance to the airport: 26 km.
The charming little fishing town of Taghazout is very much appreciated for its surfing spots and golden sandy beaches. Located 22 kilometres from the centre of Agadir, the bay of Taghazout enchants with a picturesque landscape between the mainland and the ocean. Look forward to a voyage of discovery in this multicultural setting, where there is no shortage of leisure activities. Distance to the airport: 45 km.

Imouzzer is a little village nestling in the mountains approx. 62 km to the north of Agadir. The journey through a canyon allows us to admire a landscape scattered with pink laurel trees and dotted with palm and olive groves. A short walk at Imouzzer will take us to the waterfall that the Moroccans call the ‘Bride’s Wedding Veil’. Visit to the souks on Thursdays.
We will travel in a four-wheel drive vehicle across the Souss plain, a very important region because of its agricultural production. Impressive tracks will take us round the edge of the Anti-Atlas, past the Youssef Ben Tachefine dam that overlooks a large lake. Continue towards Massa, a Berber village situated on the Atlantic coast through which the ‘Oued Massa’ passes in a national park protected since 1991. After travelling along the coast, we will reach Tifnit, a fishing village. We follow the itinerary of the Paris-Dakar rally: what a wonderful experience it is to drive along sand tracks at the sea’s edge!
From 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Marrakech, the second imperial city of about 1,000,000 inhabitants. The most attractive city in Morocco that gave its name to the country as a whole provides a magnificent testimony to its prestigious past. Visit the Majorelle gardens, the Bahia Palace, the Ben Youssef Koranic School and the Koutoubia. Walk in the famous souks through a maze of commercial streets. Even more amazing is the Jemaa el Fna square in the heart of the city. There you will see snake charmers, fortune tellers, acrobats and other artists.
This old privateers’ port once known as ‘Mogador’ is one of the most attractive Moroccan towns on the Atlantic coast. Established by the Portuguese and designed by a pupil of Vauban, Essaouira reminds visitors a little of St Malo in Brittany. The charming fishing village, medina and souks will pique your curiosity. The town’s renowned cabinet makers will reveal their ancient method of working with wood.
Excursion inland from Agadir to the fertile plain of Souss, a real vegetable garden and orchard in the south of Morocco. After a journey of 1 hour 30 min, you will arrive in Tiout, a small and charming Berber village. Donkey ride through a palm tree grove (not included). After a quintessential lunch in Tiout, we will continue towards Taroudant, the capital of Souss and one of the most ancient cities of Morocco. Old ramparts partially dating from the 14th century surround Taroudant, often known as ‘Little Marrakech’. A walk through the old town with its narrow streets and souks is like seeing the rebirth of the Morocco of old.
From 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
