Detailed itinerary

we begin the journey by heading to Sidi R'bat, 1
hour and 20 minutes south of Agadir, to discover unpopulated
beaches and sandbanks. Stop at the fisherman village on the wild
beach of Sidi R'bat, where you will have a chance to see the
fishermen's caves. Then, drive on a sandy track
while looking out into the Atlantic ocean. You will then have a quick
stop at the Oued Massa, a 120 km long coastal river by the Souss-
Massa Nationalpark. Here, if you are lucky, you will spot migrating
birds, mainly the Northern bald ibis. You will also catch a quick
glimpse of the beautiful Dam Youssed bin Tachfine. After, you will
walk around the old walled medina town of Tiznit and browse the
handmade Berber silver jewelry shops. Then drive towards the Atlas
mountains to enjoy a tasty traditional lunch (tajine, couscous, and
seasonal fruits) in a local Berber's house. After lunch, you can roam
freely in the small Sahara dunes to take photos.
