Itinerary
Marrakech ➝ Agadir
Start your journey at 8:00 AM from Marrakech, leaving the bustling Red City behind as you travel through the scenic High Atlas foothills. On the way, you’ll cross the fertile Souss Valley, famous for its citrus orchards, banana plantations, and argan trees, creating a colorful and diverse landscape.
Along the route, enjoy a coffee break in Chichaoua, a small town known as a stopping point for travelers heading south. Continue your journey through Argan tree forests, where you may witness the iconic sight of goats climbing trees to feed on the fruit – a truly unique Moroccan experience.
For those interested in local culture, stop by an Argan oil women’s cooperative, where you’ll learn about the traditional extraction process and discover both culinary and cosmetic uses of this “liquid gold.”
Upon arrival in Agadir, meet your local guide who will take you on a tour of the city’s highlights:
🏖️ Agadir Beach – stroll along the golden sandy shore and enjoy the refreshing Atlantic breeze.
🕌 Agadir Medina & Souk El Had – explore one of the largest markets in Morocco with thousands of stalls offering spices, crafts, and local products.

🎶 Marina of Agadir – a modern seaside promenade filled with cafés, boutiques, and yachts, perfect for a relaxing walk.
Lunch will be served at a seaside restaurant, where you can enjoy freshly grilled fish or traditional Moroccan tagines while overlooking the ocean.
