Detailed itinerary

Discover the serene beauty of Oued Massa, a 120 km river flowing through the heart of Souss-Massa National Park in southwestern Morocco. This protected area is a vital stopover for migratory birds traveling between Europe and Africa, making it a premier destination for birdwatching enthusiasts. Notably, it hosts the world's last viable wild population of the critically endangered Northern Bald Ibis, along with species like flamingos, herons, and spoonbills. The estuarine wetlands, characterized by their unique mix of fresh and saltwater, support a rich diversity of flora and fauna. Visitors can explore marked trails, observation points, and engage with local guides to fully experience this ecological treasure.

Discover Morocco's ancient pottery tradition, where skilled artisans transform local clay into exquisite ceramics. Using techniques passed down through generations, they craft pieces adorned with intricate geometric patterns and vibrant glazes, reflecting the country's rich cultural heritage. From the iconic blue-and-white designs of Fes to the colorful creations of Safi, Moroccan pottery embodies a blend of Berber, Arab, and Andalusian influences, making each piece a unique work of art

Discover Sidi R'bat, a serene beach village nestled within Morocco's Souss-Massa National Park. Located approximately 66 km south of Agadir, this unspoiled Atlantic coastline offers pristine sands, dramatic cliffs, and the unique experience of exploring fishermen's cave dwellings carved into the cliffs. The nearby Oued Massa estuary is a haven for birdwatchers, hosting diverse migratory species. Ideal for nature enthusiasts, Sidi R'bat provides opportunities for beach walks, birdwatching, and immersing oneself in the region's natural beauty.
