Paradise Valley and the Argan Oil Village

Paradise Valley lies in the mountains between Agadir and Marrakech: a green valley with palm, juniper and almond trees, a river, and natural pools with turquoise water and small waterfalls. The trip includes a stop at an Argan Oil Village, and it is included in our Family and Premium packages.

Agadir souk: one of the largest in the world

In Agadir, about 30 minutes from Taghazout, Souk El Had is the largest indoor market in North Africa. Drink freshly squeezed orange juice for 10 MAD (about 1 euro), bargain for argan oil and carpets, or buy souvenirs. Agadir also has a clean seafront promenade for a long walk. The visit is included in our Family and Premium packages.

Agadir Oufella, the old Kasbah

In 1960 a major earthquake hit Agadir and most of its old buildings were destroyed. The oldest building that remains is the Kasbah of Agadir Oufella. Large parts are in ruins, but it is a good stop between Taghazout and Agadir, with a panoramic view over the city and the beach.

Explore Taghazout and Tamraght

There are no street names in Taghazout and Tamraght, so it is easy to lose your way, but just as easy to find it again, because nothing is more than a 5-minute walk away. The alleys are a little worn, but the small blue houses are charming and make the walk interesting.

Visit Taroudant

To feel the real colours of Taroudant, take a ride in a horse-drawn carriage, called a caleche. The town sits in the fertile Souss valley, with views of the Upper Atlas, and an old kasbah there has been turned into a high-end restaurant. Nearby, the pretty village of Amagour is surrounded by argan trees.

Eat fresh fish

If you like seafood, you are in the right place. Walk north along the beach to Surf It, a place where locals eat, and sit by the water for some of the best seafood in Taghazout Bay. Everything is fresh, and the sardines (espetos) are especially good.

Essaouira on a day trip

Essaouira is about 3 hours north of Agadir along the west coast: a small coastal city known for its seafood, its Gnaoua music and a beautiful medina. You can try kitesurfing, enjoy the beaches, ride camels and horses, browse the souk and eat in great restaurants. We organise this trip on days when the surf is flat.

Marrakech on a day trip

Marrakech is about 3 hours inland from Agadir by road, which makes it a full-day trip. The medina is a great place to explore, shop or try your hand at bargaining, with historic sites, museums and gardens. Sit down at a local cafe for a strong coffee and enjoy the energy of the city.
