The experience

Pickup happens from your Agadir hotel, the cruise port, or Taghazout: whichever suits your arrival. The route heads inland through the Anti Atlas, passing through working olive and almond orchards before reaching Tiznit, a town known for its silversmith tradition and the original Hand of Fatima amulets made there. From there the road climbs toward Tafraout, a mountain town built into and around enormous boulders that seem to have fallen from the sky. The houses painted in reds, blues, yellows and greens make it a photographer's anchor point.

Berber lunch is included during the day. The tour also passes Napoleon's Hat, a distinctive rock formation, and follows roads with panoramic views of Jebel Lekst and the surrounding peaks. The whole day runs eight hours from pickup to return, giving you time to walk through Tafraout's streets, photograph the boulder landscape, and absorb the mountain villages without rushing.

Your guide speaks English, French or Arabic and travels with you in an air-conditioned vehicle. Children from age one are welcome, and the tour is built for travelers with moderate fitness. The walking is gentle, the pace is set by the group, and you're never stranded without shade or a place to rest.
