Questions about this tour

Can this tour start from an Agadir beach resort?

Yes. Pickup covers all Agadir hotels and resorts, and Taghazout on request. We confirm the exact pickup point on WhatsApp.

What do I see on day 1 that other tours skip?

Taroudant's ramparts, the saffron fields around Taliouine and Tazenakht's carpet cooperatives. The Agadir route crosses the Souss and Anti-Atlas rather than the High Atlas, so the scenery is completely different from the Marrakech route.

Is 3 days from Agadir rushed?

Day 1 is a full driving day with cultural stops, day 2 is the desert day, day 3 returns by midday to afternoon. It is the standard pacing for this route and leaves time at the dunes for sunset and sunrise.

“Had an incredible experience with DuneTour. Everything was well organized, the responses while booking were quick and all our questions were answered. We had a dust storm, although it didn't prevent us from going for a camel ride to the high dunes. The tents were comfortable and the food was good. What I have to point out were the people. Our guide was incredible, he was so lively and just happy to show us the desert. We were also lucky to see gazelles in the wild. Would definitely recommend.”

“A magical trip with Mustafa! A huge thank you to our guide for this extraordinary trip to the desert! The desert can be an intimidating place, but he made us feel completely at ease and safe from beginning to end. In addition to being very organized and friendly, Mustafa is incredibly fun and entertaining. He made this adventure unforgettable. We highly recommend him!”
