Sahara Desert Tour Agadir: El Borj Dunes & Tighmert Oasis

Sleep in the desert, wake to prehistoric rock carvings and an oasis lunch

A 2-day tour from Agadir that crosses the Atlantic coast toward the Sahara, stopping at Tiznit's silver markets and Legzira Beach before reaching El Borj dunes for sunset and an overnight stay in tents. Day two includes guided exploration of rock carvings, a visit to Tighmert Oasis, and return to Agadir by evening. A live guide leads the route. Pickup from your hotel is included.

The experience

The route leaves Agadir heading south through Berber villages toward El Borj, breaking the drive at Tiznit, known for its silver work, and Legzira Beach, where lunch happens on the sand. The beach sits on the Atlantic coast and is the longest stop of day one. After eating, the vehicle turns inland toward the dunes of El Borj, arriving in time for sunset and a night show before settling into tents in the middle of the desert.

Day two starts with breakfast, then a guide-led walk through the surrounding landscape to see prehistoric structures carved directly into the rocks. The route then moves to Tighmert Oasis, where a second meal waits. The drive back to Agadir takes the afternoon, with arrival usually around 6 in the evening. An air-conditioned vehicle carries the group the entire way. Coffee and tea are provided throughout.

Is this one for you?The guide speaks English, Italian, French or German, so choose the language when you book. This tour works for any group that shares one of those languages. The 2-day format lets you sleep in the desert and explore on foot the next morning, which a 1-day trip cannot fit. If you have only an afternoon free, a shorter excursion would suit better.
