Day 1: Agadir to Ouarzazate via Ait Ben Haddou

The beginning of your journey will take place in Agadir, a busy city located on the Atlantic coast of Morocco. This city is famous for its stunning beaches and lively markets.

Along the way, you will travel across the immense expanse of the ’empty desert.’ A great feeling of isolation and contemplation may be experienced by traveling along this road, which allows a unique peek into the pristine splendor of Morocco’s less-traveled landscapes.

The transformation from one terrain to another is a sight to see. This secluded region, which is well-known for its stark beauty, provides a striking contrast to the busy streets of Zagora.

You will find that the surrounding area, which is characterized by rocky mountains and unusual rock formations, is perfect for trekking and taking images that are just breathtaking.

In the evening, you will have the opportunity to indulge in authentic Moroccan food, which is a great way to cap off a day that was packed with exciting experiences and cultural immersion.
