Tours from Agadir
Leave the Atlantic beaches behind and cross the Anti-Atlas to saffron villages, kasbahs and the great dunes of the Sahara, on a private tour planned around you.
Start in Agadir
From the Ocean to the Sahara.
Agadir is sunny, calm and easy, but just behind the city the mountains begin. In one morning you reach Taroudant, the little sister of Marrakech, and climb into the Anti-Atlas, where families in Taliouine grow the purple saffron flower.
From there, our tours go east to Ouarzazate, the Dades Valley and the dunes of Merzouga, or south over the desert tracks to the wild Erg Chigaga. Choose a short desert trip, a one-way journey to Marrakech, or a grand loop with Essaouira and the coast.
