Drive south from Agadir to walk the dramatic Legzira arches, watch sunset on the El Borj dunes and spend a night in desert tents before a morning camel ride to Tighmert Oasis. This two‑day loop blends coastal geology, Berber hospitality and compact desert adventure.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Sand and sea meet in the rearview as the road drops out of Agadir and the coastline thins into red cliffs and long beaches. By midday you can feel the temperature shift — Atlantic breezes at Legzira’s arches give way to a dry, bone-dry wind that teases sand into sculpted ripples. Night falls across El Borj’s dunes with a cold clarity; stars feel closer when the campfire dies and the tents take over.

Hydrate before and during
Carry at least 2–3 liters of water per person per day; desert air and sun dehydrate faster than you think.
Sun and wind protection
Bring a wide‑brim hat, high‑SPF sunscreen and a lightweight buff to keep sand out of eyes and mouth.
Footwear for mixed terrain
Use sturdy trail shoes for rocky coastal paths and lightweight gaiters or sandals for dune walking to avoid heavy sand buildup.
Time your dune climb
Plan to reach the dune crests for sunset; sand firms earlier in the day and is softer after noon, making climbs harder.
Hydration pack or 1.5–2L water bottles
Keeps water accessible during walks and dune climbs.
Lightweight sleeping layer or fleece
Nighttime desert temperatures can drop sharply; a warm layer is useful for camp.
