Popular Destinations in Morocco
With the Atlantic to the west, the Mediterranean to the north, wonderful beaches, four ranges of mountains with cascade waterfalls, century old cedar forests, eternal snows, immense plains of flowers with orange and almond blossom, rivers that lay out a carpet of greenery to the threshold of the desert and carve out the most spectacular gorges.
Morocco has been inhabited since pre historic times, as history shows it has a wealth of culture to be explored. Today Morocco is an independent state with its own constitutional monarch.
From the Straits of Gibraltar to Mauritania, nature has made Morocco one of the most beautiful countries in the world.
When we think of Morocco we imagine bright hot sun, white sandy beaches, mystical adventure, an array of sumptuous colours, bustling souks and wondrous evenings under dramatic sunsets!
Agadir
Agadir is a true Moroccan seaside town with palm-lined boulevards, stucco architecture, long sandy beaches and a remarkable climate. As the road descents to Agadir you will find some of the most remote and best tempting white sandy beaches, which are just unbelievable.

Most of the coast is the preserve of camel drivers and shepherds - but hidden away are where most of the secret beaches which can only be discovered on foot.
