More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You leave Agadir before breakfast light, the Atlantic wind pressing salt into the Jeep as coastal scrub and low cliffs slide by. The road turns south toward Taghazout, past fishermen’s caves at Sidi Rabat where low tide reveals shells and the worn openings of coastal dwellings. Sand begins to creep closer to the highway — not the Sahara proper but a small field of dunes that tests the Jeep’s suspension and your appetite for quick desert panoramas.
