Getaway to Secret Paradise Oasis & Dunes from Agadir

This day trip from Agadir is built around quiet natural places rather than busy sights. Its centrepiece is the oasis at Afella N'Wassif, the Secret Paradise that gives the tour its name, and it finishes on the Timlaline dunes beside the ocean. It suits travellers who like slow days outdoors, and families too, since children from age 2 can join. Groups are capped at 16. We collect you in front of your hotel, or wherever you are staying in Agadir, and the first stop is Aghroud, a colourful village right on the ocean. You have about half an hour to stroll along the beach where local families spend their summers and to take a few photos. The heart of the day is Afella N'Wassif, where you spend around three hours. This oasis sits well away from the crowds, with water for swimming and spots to lie in the sun. Around it are fields of fruit and vegetables, papayas and pomegranates among them, which you can wander through and look at up close. Lunch is included, along with traditional Moroccan mint tea. Later you continue to the Timlaline dunes near Tamri, the village known for its bananas. These dunes run right down to the Atlantic, so you have soft sand on one side and the surf on the other. You have about two hours here to walk, sit and enjoy how calm the place feels. The day includes an air-conditioned vehicle, lunch, mint tea, entry to the Timlalin dunes and all fees and taxes, and guiding is in Arabic, English or French. Pack swimwear, a towel, sunscreen and a hat, plus sandals or shoes that cope with both sand and water. The trip lasts about seven hours, so a light layer for the drive back is useful as well. Expect an unhurried day outdoors, with real time in each place instead of a rush between stops.
