Agadir private tour with Souk El Had and cable car to the kasbah
Activities

Agadir private tour with Souk El Had and cable car to the kasbah

You're in for a day of Agadir's kasbah, cable car and carpets on this private tour that captures the cultural heart of this city from hilltop fortress to souk. You'll begin with a view that takes in the sprawling whitewashed houses, the yacht-filled marina and the curve of beach where Agadir Bay meets the Atlantic Ocean. But, as local guide, Amina, explains, “the most distinctive view has got to be the Arabic inscription of ‘God, Country, King' written in white stones on the hillside below the kasbah. It's an unofficial motto of Morocco, sharing the country's faith and patriotism.” The modern cable car will whisk you 236 metres up the hill from the marina station to the Kasbah of Agadir Oufella. It's a six-minute journey each way, so you've time to grab your camera and take in the views. At the top, your guide will show you around the phoenix-like fortress, which has been forced to resurrect twice after earthquakes devastated the original structures in 1755 and1960. Back down in the city, your next stop is the Argan cooperative. Here, you'll discover the secrets behind the production of authentic bio Argan oil – a staple in local cuisine and cosmetics.The final part of your day is a trip to one of Morocco's largest markets, Souk El Had. Try not to be intimidated by its 6,000 shops and stalls – it's a labyrinth, but your local guide is your superpower here. They'll help lead you through the narrow allies stacked high with a mix of colourful ceramics, lanterns, rugs and more. Take your time to enjoy the bustling atmosphere, breathe in the scent of fresh mint and cumin and pause for cup of tea before you do as the locals do and join in with some haggling.

Private 4x4 Atlas Mountains tour with Berber breakfast and lunch

Private 4x4 Atlas Mountains tour with Berber breakfast and lunch

Starting at sea level on the Atlantic coast of Agadir, you'll take your adventure to the high altitudes of the Atlas Mountains on this full-day tour. Your expert, local guide will lead you on a private 4x4 tour that takes in both the cultural and natural wonder of Morocco's rural landscape. Salma, one such guide shares more, “from start to finish this day is as much about exploring the local community as it is exploring the countryside. At our first stop in Alma, we'll meet a Berber family and share a traditional breakfast of sweet mint tea and freshly baked bread.” At your next stop, at the Oasis of Tamzargout, you'll get your first taster of the palm-fringed swimming holes and rocky gorges that will characterise the rest of the trip. After some photos here that're bound to make it into your latest holiday posts, it's back in the 4x4. The road then winds through Paradise Valley, Salma adds, “it's a beautiful spot, very aptly nicknamed by Jimmy Hendrix when he visited in the 60s.” From there, as you climb into the Ida-Outanane Mountains, you'll feel the air cool and see almond and argan trees lining the track.The village of Immouzer is the centre point of this trip. At 1,160 metres above sea level, it marks the beginning of the foothills of the Atlas Mountains. You'll spend plenty of time here, checking out the cascading waterfalls, steep, rocky valleys and terraced hillsides – trust us, you won't be short of somewhere to point your camera. Settle in for a traditional lunch here, with homemade bread and olive oil, a Berber tagine and Moroccan salad. Be sure to get a taste of the local honey here for a sweet finish to your trip, before you're driven down the mountain on a different route, letting you see as much of this striking land as possible.
