Strap in for a full-day 4x4 from Agadir that threads coastal rally tracks, a pocket desert of sand dunes, and the historic town of Tiznit. Expect birdwatching at the Massa River, a traditional Berber lunch, and hands-on pottery and silverwork stops.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The day opens with salt air and a rumble — your 4x4 eases away from Agadir and follows coastal tracks where the Atlantic dares you to keep pace. Sand sprays across the hood, gulls wheel overhead, and pockets of compacted dunes give way to softer, golden ridges as you approach the Small Sahara of Rsmouka.
