More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A low-slung sun slides toward the Atlantic and the camels pick their way across packed sand and scrub, their slow, rhythmic steps setting the tempo. Eucalyptus scents the air while distant gulls and the pink flash of flamingos punctuate the marshes of the Souss estuary. This is the kind of short, sensory excursion that turns a hotel stay in Agadir into an encounter with the region's working coastline and rural outposts.
