Timlaline Dunes Sunset, Sandboarding & Canyon from Agadir

This sunset trip takes you from Agadir or Taghazout to the Timlaline dunes, a stretch of golden sand that sits right by the Atlantic near the village of Tamri. It suits families (children from age 1 can come), couples looking for an evening outing and anyone who wants to try sandboarding near Agadir without committing to a long desert expedition. The drive follows the coast through the villages of Aourir and Tamraght. Along the way you make a stop of about 20 minutes at Aghroud beach, where the brightly painted Berber houses make a good first photo of the day. Then the road continues north until the sand starts to appear beside the ocean. At the Timlaline dunes, also spelled Timlalin, you have around an hour and a half. Climb the slopes, try sandboarding down the smoother faces, and follow your guide into a secret canyon close to the dunes. The light gets softer and warmer as the afternoon goes on, which makes it a lovely time for photos. To finish, you settle on the sand and watch the sun go down over the ocean, with the dunes turning gold and then pink around you. Pickup and drop-off, an air-conditioned vehicle, bottled water, a few small local bananas, entry to the Timlalin dunes and all fees and taxes are included. Meals and soft drinks are not. Guides on this tour speak German, English or French. Wear shoes you can slip off easily, as many people end up barefoot on the sand, and bring a light layer because the air cools quickly once the sun has set. Sunglasses help if the wind lifts the sand, and a small bag for your phone keeps grains out of it. It is a gentle, easy-going way to end a day on the coast between Agadir and Taghazout.
