The day begins with a morning pickup in Agadir and a drive south along the Atlantic — windows salted with spray, dunes appearing like pale hills beyond the roadside scrub. In roughly 1 hour 20 minutes the group arrives at Sidi R'bat, a stretch of unpopulated beach and sandbanks where fishermen's caves are carved into the cliffs and the ocean dares you to walk its edge.

Bring sun protection

Carry water and snacks
Although lunch is provided mid-day, bring a refillable bottle and light snacks for the morning drive and photo stops.
Sturdy, sand-friendly shoes
Trails are sandy and uneven; closed-toe shoes that can be rinsed or shaken out are best for dunes and cliff walks.
