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.

Pass by

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.

60 min

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.

900 min

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.

90 min

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")

90 min

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.

In a word fantastic

We went out for two days with our guide Mohammed. It was fantastic. He really showed us Morocco. We passed several places in and around Agadir and went further south. The route, the towns and villages were breathtaking. What was especially nice is that at certain moments he dropped us off and gave us time to explore the location, in which he took appropriate distance and space. After the first day we arrived at the tent camp in the Sahara at the end of the afternoon, just before sunset. Everything was already ready for us, tea & cookies. Eventually we were brought up a high dune pan just before sunset and were able to enjoy the most beautiful sunset ever! Then night fell and they had prepared fresh tagines for us. After dinner, night fell slowly and the first stars came to the sky. We lay on blankets and pillows looking at the largest starry sky. Then slept wonderfully and there was breakfast ready for us. Then we left the tent camp and drove to different villages and were taken to all kinds of special places. This was really the highlight of our week in Agadir! Nothing but praise for our guide Mohammed. Even after the Sahar trip, he helped us find fun activities. I can recommend it to everyone. Greetings, Willem & Ellen.

Impressive experience

The desert tour was an incredibly impressive and enriching experience for us. We were a small group of great people and our guide Mohamed informed us super at all times and has responded to every traveler very personally. The many stops of the trip were sensationally great and Mohamed even took us to other places that were on the route. The camp in the desert was the absolute highlight and the people we met there, extremely nice and friendly. The whole trip impressed us lastingly and we will definitely make a bigger tour through the desert in the near future, if possible again with our great guide Mohamed!!! Thank you for the great experience.

Not as expected

We were picked up at 8.30am. to be driven around areas and shown a lot of half built houses, no explanation or history as to why we were being shown these areas. We were driven to a fish restaurant, the menu was very basic and if you wanted to add chips to the fish it was extra. The grilled fish given to me was undercooked one side (the fish had been cut in half) and partially cooked the other side, I ate a bit and fed the rest to the cats hanging around. The fridge that the fish was displayed in was stacked high with fish and we watched more coming in and being added to this over loaded open fridge. I went down with food poisoning from eating the fish meal and the poisoning lasted 7 days. My friend and I worked it out that it was the only place where we ate different meals, the rest of the time we ate the same foods and my friend did not end up with food poisoning. We were then taken to a supermarket so that the driver could pick up supplies for the evening. Then we were taken to an area that contained camels of different ages, it was explained that the camels were there for a market the following day. We asked why the young camels were bleating and was informed that they were calling for their mums, this was really horrible to see the distress of the babies and something we really should not have been shown. We finally came to an area that contained some houses and was told it was a village, there were only a few houses of sorts, the driver and another lady who was with us gave out many sweets to the kids, our driver explained he took clothes and shoes along with food supplies to these people as they were very poor. Our driver put his car in a garage and we were squash into a 4 x 4 to take us to the camp. The camp contained a large tent area where we could sit, there was 9 white square tents to house us for the night. There was electricity and normal running toilets. We sat around for quite a long while not doing anything, Everyone apart from myself were taken up a hill to watch the sun setting, I couldn't go because I'm mobility impaired and wouldn't be able to walk up the hill. At 9.00pm the dinner was brought out, it was a Turin with 5 very small chicken wings (one each) and vegetables, it was too late in the evening for us to eat non of us ate much. Then we sat around again, we could not converse with the other people due to language barrier. I went to bed but I understand by my friend that the entertainment consisted the driver and 2 others to draw grooves in the sand and set it on fire. The mattresses were like rock and the cushions needed a crane to move them. There was very thick blankets. The following day we were served a Moroccan breakfast and our driver asked if we wanted to go straight back to the hotel or do some more driving around, we chose to return to the hotel after a camel ride. We was taken to an area where there were camels and a scarf was supplied to act as a turban, I do NOT recommend the ride, it was £10 and we was taken around a very small area, it took no longer than 3 minutes. Afterwards a guy was going around offering you to hold a scorpion. We arrived back at the hotel by early afternoon. I would have been better to have been picked up afternoon of the first day instead of driving around and around making the journey long and boring and very tiring. It seemed to be a way of stretching the experience so that more money could be charged. I DO NOT recommend this trip, its not really an experience as such. We were not even that far into the desert, about 2 minutes ride, it was more the very start of the desert rather than actually in it, there was still light pollution by the surrounding towns/villages, so stars could not be seen. It was an experience, but a very disappointing one and the driving around was very boring.

Operator response

Hello, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, although we are truly sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. This is actually the first time we have received such a review, and we take your comments very seriously. As mentioned in the activity description, this is a local and authentic experience, not a luxury desert camp. The tents are simple but clean, with electricity and bathroom facilities, offering travelers the opportunity to discover local life in a genuine way. Regarding the restaurant, we have been working with this partner for a long time and have never had any issues with food quality or hygiene. However, we will immediately follow up with them to ensure this does not happen again. For the dinner at the camp, the tajines are always prepared for two people and there is always enough food. It’s possible that there was an exceptional mistake that day, and we sincerely apologize if that was the case. Finally, the program includes several stops designed to show local culture and landscapes such as villages, the camel market, and desert surroundings. These moments are part of the authentic experience that many travelers enjoy. We are truly sorry that this experience did not match what you were expecting and we still hope you keep good memories of your stay in Morocco. Kind regards, The LOWTOURS Team

This was an AMAZING experience, one that we will never forget. Our driver Mohamed was extremely kind and informative, answering any and all questions we had! He let us have time to ourselves and was never intrusive. We felt this was a truly authentic experience and have made memories we will never forget. The other people we met in the dessert were just as kind. DO NOT MISS THIS EXPERIENCE. WORTH EVERY PENNY.

Visit to the Berbers

We had a really great time, we experienced and saw far more than we had imagined. A great way to get to know the country and people a little better. Our experience felt authentic and there were many local people involved who could benefit from our activity, the price is reasonable and the people we met were very warm and friendly

To do without hesitation

We had a great day, full of people, with Mohamed as guide and driver. My parents and I have different interests and physical conditions, and there was something for everyone. Culture, adventure, cuisine, landscapes... Great value for money! Thanks again. I will not hesitate to call on Mohamed again.
