About This Landmark

Legzira's Majestic Archway

Legzira, located along the rugged coastline of Morocco, is home to one of nature's most magnificent spectacles. The iconic rock arches, carved by the relentless Atlantic waves, stand proudly at the meeting point of land and sea. These natural wonders are made of striking red sandstone, which catches the light beautifully at sunset, creating an unforgettable view. The beach itself stretches out, with its serene and relatively untouched sands accompanied by the rhythmic sounds of the ocean.

The arches are not only a visual marvel but also a geological wonder, formed over millions of years. Legzira was once famed for its twin arches until the unfortunate collapse of one in 2016. Despite this, the remaining arch continues to draw visitors from around the globe, eager to witness its grandeur.

Come to Legzira, and let the vibrant colors and dramatic landscapes inspire you.
