Souss-Massa Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)

Trekking in the Atlas Mountains

Escape to the Atlas foothills for a trek amongst the rugged landscape of arid mountains and ochre-red rocks softened by lush palm and banana groves. Set off from the port, travelling by 4x4 on a scenic journey, well known as the Paradise Valley drive. Continue on your way to the village of Alma, situated in the Imouzzer Valley in the district of Tazeroualt. Along the way you will take a photo stop at palm grove of Tamzargoute before arriving at the village of Aquesri, from where you will set off on a 2-hour hike. Following your trek, proceed on foot into the valley, admiring the local flora and fauna before arriving at the botanical garden, to view the plethora of plants, used for artisanal extraction of essential oils. The Argan tree is indigenous to the arid southwest region of Morocco. This thorny tree has a deep root system that is well adapted to the semi-desert environment. Characterised by its toughness, an Argan tree can reach the age of 200 years. Refreshment stop at Aromatic garden, tasting a Moroccan bread, honey and Olive oil with a Moroccan tea.

Our day trip in Paradise Valley and Immouzzer

Paradise Valley Agadir. Such a nice, beautiful abd stunning garden.

A day trip to Agadir could not not be complete without a tea stop at Alma Local Village. We stopped at a local restaurant called Chez Houssine, a Berber designed restaurant. The tents are beautifully well decorated and it has a nice collection of Moroccan pottery products. I loved the place and the concept. I would highly recommend it if your leaving or entering the village of Alma.

Wonder through Massa National Park

The National Park of Souss Massa was created in 1991, on a surface of 33.800 HA. This park aims to restore the Saharan Fauna in the South of Morocco, it shelters 250 Species of Birds, 30 Mammals, 35 of amphibians and reptiles... After a drive of 30 minutes from Agadir, we will be at the entrance of the park, where we will start by a visit to museum where you will learn about the endangered species (Scimitar-Horned Oryx, Addax, Dama Gazelle, Ostrich, Dorcas Gazelle, Bald Ibis...) before we start our journey in the park between these beautiful species. ​ After the park visit, we will make a quick stop at town of tifnit (Beautiful fisher village), before driving back to your Agadir.

Discover Tifnit Local Village

The village of Tifnit is located on a rocky point south of Agadir (45 km). This cove is known for its fishing activity, its blue boats, its troglodyte dwellings and its village made up of basic buildings connected to each other. When you arrive at Tifnit, after driving a few kilometers along an almost deserted road, you discover an impressive view of the ocean. Stop by car to contemplate the landscape and discover this magnificent little fishing port from afar. Tifnit is one of the quietest beaches and is synonymous with: swimming, surfing, walks, fishing and the fish market. Be careful, however, of the waves, which can be quite powerful! The stroll on the beach, at low tide, heading towards the south of the village is sublime. The particularity of this route is to follow the cliff long inhabited by local fishermen. Most of these cave dwellings have been abandoned. But the view remains heavenly! It is possible to walk for several kilometers. Tifnit is also a small swell surf spot with some well defined peaks, but often subject to north winds. The village has several interesting spots because the fishing village is installed on a rocky point. The south beach is also a dream place for fishing.

Labranda Les Dunes Dor - Excellent Location

Labranda Les Dunes Doe on Agadir is located in the perfect spot, the marina, shops, bars as well as a casino are all within walking distance. The hotel offers guests access to their own private beach area where you can be guaranteed to have a sun bed available. There is also an on-site shisha night club which opens in the evenings and has live music which you can enjoy. The hotel activities team called Animation made my stay very pleasant as they gave me suggestions of what I can do outside of the hotel activity wise and helped me book the activities. If you're travelling with kids then this hotel is perfect as it has a children's play room and there are fun activities for children carried out by the animation team throughout the day such as dance lessons, swimming pool games, musical chairs. The rooms were fairly basic, on my first night I noticed alot of ants in my room next to the balcony door, after complaining to the staff I was quickly moved to another room where there were no further issues through out my 7 day holiday. The staff were helpful and resolved any issues I had. #resort #hotel #shisha #club #childfriendly #cheap #agadir #morocco #africa
