Spend two days traveling south from Agadir to the red cliffs of Legzira and the wide dunes of El Borj. Overnight in a Berber tent, take a sunset camel ride and explore ancient rock carvings before returning via the Oasis of Tighmert.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A low, golden wind runs across the dunes as the minibus slides away from Agadir and the coastline folds into ochre hills. On day one the road climbs past Berber villages and the fortified ramparts of Tiznit, then opens to the arched sandstone of Legzira Beach where cliffs lean into the Atlantic like weathered hands.

History
Tiznit has long been a regional silverwork and caravan hub; Legzira’s arches reflect ancient marine erosion as the Atlantic receded and uplifted Miocene sediments.
Conservation
Stick to marked paths at Legzira and avoid climbing fragile arches; camps should pack out waste and minimize wood collection to protect desert vegetation.
