Meanwhile, the Atlantic coastline around Taghazout, Essaouira, and Agadir creates perfect conditions for surfing, kiteboarding, windsurfing, and open-water adventures.
To the south, the Sahara Desert becomes a world of golden dunes, wide skies, starlit camps, and timeless silence. Activities such as camel rides, sandboarding, quad biking, and sunrise trekking make every moment unforgettable.
