The real Sahara Desert is several hundred miles away but there's a little-known place near Agadir that locals refer to as the ‘mini-Sahara'. You'll explore coastal villages and then head inland to Tiznit, famed for its silver jewellery, to find out the secrets of this Berber handicraft. Enjoy a variety of scenery on this off-road adventure from Agadir.
Your journey kicks off with a drive south along the coast, stopping at the photogenic fishing village of Tifnit on the way. Then the real fun begins as we head off-road towards Sidi R'bat for a stop in a rustic tea shop. Swinging inland, there's time for some photos at the Youssef Ben Tachefine Dam before we arrive at the mini-Sahara for a flavour of the vast desert to the south.
After all that excitement it's time for a relaxed Moroccan lunch of tagine, salads, and local fruits before we make our way to the ancient silver capital of Tiznit to see the walled ramparts and walk through the medina to admire the town's handcrafted Berber silver jewellery.
