Itinerary
The city was founded in 1882 by the Alawite Sultan Hassan I who endowed it, in 1883, with a long wall still encircling the old medina. Later, the 1886 expedition strengthened the Sultan's power in the region, which grew in importance in the face of Spanish attempts to settle in Ifni after the Spanish-Moroccan War of 1860.
Coffee break after driving one and half hour in front of the Atlantic Ocean.
After driving more or less 30 min from Aglou beach we reach Legziera . Legziera, the wild beach is famous for its astronomical arches of rock formation and red earth carved by the Atlantic Ocean and is considered to be one of the most beautiful beaches in Morocco. Located about 180 km south of Agadir in the region of Sidi Ifni, the beach is very attractive with stunning scenery and great waves appreciated by hikers and surfers from all over the world.
After driving more less 15 min from Legzira we reach Sidi infni town. Sidi Ifni, (ex-Spanish enclave). Lunch on site ( fish specialty: grilled sardines, fried fish and chips..., and others... "Lunch is not included")
After driving more less one hour from Sidi Ifni we reach Guelmim city. Located 200 km south of Agadir, 110 km from Tiznit and 30 km from the Atlantic Ocean and 54 km from Sidi ifni, The city is considered the gateway to the Sahara in Morocco. It was once a caravan center on the road to Timbuktu. Today, it is an important place of trade and exchange between the sedentary population and the nomads of the desert. It is notably home to a weekly camel market, known as “Amhayrich”, which is the largest camel market in Morocco taking place only on saturday morning. After a short visite to the city we stop for a short tea break.
After driving one and half hour from Guelmim we reach El borj village in the south-east of Morocco. Very modest village founded by the nomade coming from far away in the desert. After 45 min on a rough road from this village we reach the sand dunes where our camp is settled. Once arrived at the camp, you’ll be served a well-deserved mint tea accompanied by Moroccan pastries after which you'll marvel at the sunset and the stunning spectrum of light on the golden sand dunes after which you'll return to the bivouac for dinner under a gorgeous sky full of stars accompanied by a Sahraoui music show performed by young locals around a campfire. Overnight is scheduled in a nomad tent to experience and appreciate firsthand the living conditions of the locals. The next day and after breakfast, back to the oasis again for a brief stop then continue the journey back to Agadir borrowing an alternative itinerary through the Anti Atlas Mountains for a change of scenery.
After a good two hours from the camp on the way back to Agadir we stop in Tiznit city known of it's silver jewelry , we will visit the old medina, the souk (market), the spring, and a tour of the ancient walls.

A very interesting and well-organized itinerary through the regions south of Agadir. The rich and detailed explanations from Momo, our excellent guide, helped us appreciate the historical, geographical, and cultural aspects of these territories: he spoke to us about the period of Spanish, Portuguese, and French colonialism up to the Green March for independence, then accompanied us to visit the artisan shops, the camel market, and the most beautiful beaches in the area. Upon arriving in the desert, Barak and Rachid, who manage the camp, welcomed us warmly with a welcome tea. Excellent candlelit dinner. The tent in which we spent the night was simple but comfortable. The starry sky of the night in the desert and the absolute silence are truly unmissable experiences. I highly recommend it!!!
Grazie per questa splendida recensione. Siamo lieti che la tua avventura con Best Ride Tours ti abbia lasciato ricordi così belli. Speriamo di rivederti presto.
Great experience!!. All stops along the coast and then turn east towards the desert and arrived at the camp my wife, daughter (10 years) and I were warmly welcomed by the cooks Rashid and Barak. After witnessing a beautiful sunset, having dinner with a great tajine and dancing around a campfire we were amazed by the amount of stars (all very genuine). The next day other nice stops in the rural area and visit to the dam. All thanks to Mohammed (called Momo) our very attentive and friendly guide. I highly recommend Rudolph
Grazie per le gentili parole e per la raccomandazione, Rodolfo. Siamo lieti che la sua esperienza con noi le sia piaciuta e speriamo di poterla accogliere nuovamente presto.
The trip was a truly memorable experience, such a joy to escape the city and discover more of Morocco. Momo, our driver, was excellent, full of fascinating insights into local customs and the landscape. On the first day we explored much of the Moroccan coast, with Legzira beach standing out as especially beautiful. By sunset we reached the camp and sand dunes, where we were warmly welcomed by Barack, who brewed us traditional tea and made us feel at home. Even with some cloud cover, the sunset over the dunes was amazing. Dinner that evening was the best tajine we’ve had in Morocco so far. Meeting Mimi, the desert tent cat, was a highlight, so friendly. The night sky was spectacular, filled with stars, and the atmosphere around the fire was magical. The tents themselves were cosy and clean, with clean bathrooms that added to the comfort. We thoroughly enjoyed this trip and would recommend it to families, couples, and groups of friends alike. One practical tip: bring cash, as most stops don’t accept cards. It’s essential if you’d like to buy souvenirs or lunch along the way.
