Reviews

7 days tour from Agadir

had never traveled to Morocco before, and this trip ensured that we got the most out of our visit. We took three women on a 7-day excursion from Agadir to Marrakech, and everything was really professionally coordinated from beginning to end. The hotels were excellent, the cuisine was excellent, and we were given complete freedom to do and see as we pleased. The vistas are stunning, and there was plenty of time to photograph them. We also had our fantastic driver, Youssef, who gave us a tour of the nation and answered all of our questions. We already miss you, Youssef! I've never had a more enjoyable road trip, and I would suggest it to everyone. IT WAS AMAZING!

The best

Starting in Agadir, we scheduled a Desert Tour in Merzouga. With the 4WD, my friend, brother-in-law, and I were picked up from the hotel and driven across the country. I've looked at a variety of Bedouin tents, ranging from the most basic to the most magnificent. A stunning view of the beach, mountains, and sky. Camels, donkeys, sharps, and rally drivers abound. In one of the tents, you may drink tea while watching a folk dance, while in another tent, you can have a traditional meal (very tasty). Everything, including the history, was taught to us by our guide. He was really helpful and answered all of our inquiries. We made several photo stops at various locations. Overall, it was an exciting and engaging experience that was a lot of fun and well worth the money.

Agadir desert tour

It was a fantastic vacation; first and foremost, we appreciated Touring in Morocco's patience in email contact, and we were able to confirm the trip after several discussions. Youssef met us at the train station the day we arrived in Agadir and drove us to our hotel, which was a terrific start. Youssef was really kind and attentive throughout the procedure, making us feel safe and secure when traveling outside. We were able to freely discuss meals, lodging, and transportation with him. We were left off in Marrakech later, and he was gracious enough to accompany us to the ticket office to purchase our remaining tickets, which was fantastic.

Sites overview

Merzouga desert

Merzouga is a village in southern Morocco on the Algerian border, at the Sahara Desert’s entrance, 200 kilometers from Tinghir and 350 kilometers from Ouarzazate. The world-famous sand dunes of Merzouga are the city’s most well-known feature.

It is located near the Erg de Chebbi, which has some of the most spectacular dunes in the Sahara as well as Morocco’s highest permanent dunes. Along with the Erg of Chegaga, it is Morocco’s only erg (or Chigaga). Merzouga, located about fifty kilometers from the Algerian border, is one of the last cities in Morocco before entering the Sahara.

Merzouga is a desert region with a severe, hot, and dry environment. The average temperature in the summer can reach 45 degrees during the day and 25 degrees in the winter, however, both seasons can see temperatures close to zero degrees at night. So remember to include something warm in your luggage.

Precipitation is rare, but when it does happen, it is frequently heavy and stormy. Merzouga has a low incidence of poor weather and always has a clear sky, both during the day and at night, making it ideal for stargazing.

Merzouga lies only a few kilometers away from the Dayet Srij lake, which may be seen after traversing the massive dunes. It offers a spectacular view of the dunes as well as abundant animals. You will be enchanted by the peacefulness that exudes from this spectacular site. What a sight it is to witness pink flamingos or white storks gliding over the blue of the lake, with the magnificent Merzouga dunes in the backdrop. This odd terrain has a captivating allure. It’s odd to come upon a pool at the desert’s edge.

Moroccan Ouallywood

Ouarzazate is located at the confluence of the Dades valleys (both from the High Atlas), which together form the Draa river. It is the nerve center for a large section of southern Morocco. Ouarzazate conjures up images of the High Atlas’ southern slopes as well as the desert’s closeness.

The climate of Ouarzazate is desert, with just 112 millimeters of yearly rainfall. In the summer, rainfall is sparse and erratic, if not non-existent. In the winter, temperatures are warm at night, while the heat is strong throughout the day in the summer. The vegetation is scarce, and cultivation is only viable because the Oued drâa’s waters are used to irrigate agricultural land.

The city’s icon is the Taourirt Kasbah, which belonged to Pasha El Glaoui and was erected in the middle of the 18th century. It is shown on the new 50 dirham banknotes as it is next to the medina.

Ait Benhaddou

Kasbahs may be found in abundance across Morocco. The Kasbah stronghold of Ait Benhaddou is the largest and most visited. Unesco has classified this monument as a Unesco World Heritage Site since 1987. The Kasbah, on the other hand, was built by the Glawi family and dates back to the 11th century.

In addition, the caravan Touareg nomads who used to travel 52 days from Tombouctou are well-known in this area. They came to trade salt since the area had a river named Oued El Maleh, where Oued alludes to the river and Maleh to the salt.
There are around seven stories in that building, each with multiple clay and mud dwellings. The main one is up top, and it’s where they used to store salt for other visitors who wanted to trade.

This location has been used in a number of films and television shows. For example, popular films such as Gladiator and Lawrence of Arabia were filmed there.

Marrakech

Morocco’s most popular tourist attraction is Marrakech. As a result of its hue, it is also known as the tourist city and the red city. This huge and picturesque city is one of Morocco’s four imperial cities. It was created in 1062 by Yusuf Ibn Tashfin.

The Jemaa el Fnaa plaza in Marrakech is well-known. In reality, snake charmers and those doing Halka “street performance” may be found there. Due to the fact that it is the city’s market or souk, you may encounter vendors selling a variety of items.

The mosque of Koutoubia is located close to the heart of Jemaa el Fnaa. It is also known as Kutubiyya, and it is Marrakech’s largest mosque, with a 773-meter-high tower. It is forbidden for non-Muslims to enter. The only mosque in Casablanca that allows it is Hassan II Mosque.

In Marrakech, there is a beautiful park named Majorelle for art enthusiasts. This art gallery was made by the French artist John Jacques Majorelle and is devoted to Morocco. Also, keep in mind that this garden took 40 years for this French artist to develop.
