A morning on the road south from Agadir opens with low coastal light and a steadily changing horizon: sand flats give way to scrub, then to the broad wetlands of Souss-Massa National Park. The ride itself is part of the experience—an air‑conditioned vehicle carrying you along a ribbon of asphalt while the Atlantic slides by on one side and wind‑sculpted dunes rise on the other.
