Morrocco in May - tips for the coast and Agadir area
Our take
Hi!
On a bit of a whim, just booked flights to Agadir to travel alone for about 10 days, the idea being to mostly stay in villages and small towns, whether on the coast or inland, enjoy beautiful landscapes, have small walks, nice food, a pretty chill daily ''routine'' schedule in a relaxed environment. Ideally just enough options to eat out, buy groceries and walk around but a pretty hassle-free place, not destroyed by tourism either. I don't surf, but would like to swim.
In the meantime I realized i was pretty clueless about this area - I've been to the North of Morocco around Tetuan, Algiers etc before but never further down south.
I take it that Agadir isn't the one for me. How is Taghazout, and the rest of the coast, or should I go towards Essaouira?
Tafraoute looks amazing so that's one option for sure.
Thanks in advance :)

- Traveling to Marrakesh for 4 nights (3 full days). Stay in the city or do an Ourika Valley day trip?My husband and I will be in Marrakesh Thursday night at the end of about 10 days in France and Spain. It's a last minute trip. We're staying at a riad in the medina. We usually like a mix of good food, wandering, and generally memorable experiences, not just trying to check off every major tourist spot. I’ve been looking at day trips to the Ourika Valley since it seems like a good way to get some nature and see more than just the city. But from the reviews I’ve seen, maybe it’s a bit too touristy? For anyone who’s been recently, did it feel worth it or more like a tourist trap? If you’d skip it, would you just stay in Marrakesh and go deeper there, or do something else nearby instead? Also thinking about hiring a private guide for the medina to make things easier and get more context without feeling hassled at the end of our trip. Worth it or not really necessary? Curious what people would prioritize with just three full days. We get in around 8 pm. We're elder millennials without kids, if that helps, and budget for extras like private guides isn’t a concern unless it’s hundreds of dollars. Thanks for any advice in advance! submitted by /u/awkwardcamelid [link] [comments]
- Solo itinerary in southeastern MoroccoHello, I’ll be traveling to Morocco for a week in June, landing directly in Ouarzazate, where I’ll pick up a Dacia Logan. My itinerary, as shown in the picture, is to connect the following points of interest: • Ouarzazate → Skoura • Skoura → Kelaat M’Gouna • Kelaat M’Gouna → Dades • Dades → Tinghir • Tinghir → Erfoud / Rissani • Rissani → Merzouga Then return to Ouarzazate by making a loop through Tazarine, and then either Nkob or Zagora. I have a few questions: • Looking at Google Earth, most of the roads seem paved and in good condition — can you confirm that? Is the route easy enough with a Dacia Logan? My only concern is the N17 section between Tazarine and Zagora, which looks a bit like a dirt track. • The route seems fairly classic and touristy, so I assume I’ll meet quite a few tourists and locals along the way, which reassures me a bit about traveling alone. I also don’t plan to drive at night. In your opinion, is there any security concern doing all this solo? • I haven’t decided yet where I’ll stay. Probably two nights in Merzouga, and for the rest I’d like to stop more spontaneously wherever I feel like, without planning everything in advance. If you have recommendations for ideal stopover towns, I’m interested. • Finally, I know June is very hot, but nothing unbearable, right? I’ll have air conditioning in the car.
