About this activity

This Tafraoute day trip from Agadir takes you away from the coast and into the Anti-Atlas Mountains. You spend a full day on the road and in the hills, visiting the Berber town of Tafraoute and the landscapes around it.

Along the way you pass through the Ameln Valley and its traditional Berber villages. You also see the Painted Rocks, the colored granite boulders created by the artist Jean Verame. The scenery changes a lot between the Atlantic coast and the rocky Anti-Atlas, so the drive is part of the experience.

In Tafraoute, known as Morocco's almond capital, you get free time to explore the town at your own pace. A guide travels with the group, and the trip runs in an air-conditioned vehicle with hotel pickup and drop-off from Agadir, Taghazout and nearby areas.

The trip starts at 08:30 and lasts about 11 hours. It is a long day, so it suits travelers who enjoy scenery, village life and local culture more than a fast sightseeing schedule.
