About this day trip
A cluster of villages built from pink granite, deep in the Anti-Atlas mountains — one of the more dramatic landscapes within reach of Agadir, and one of the least visited by comparison to the coast.
February brings almond blossom across the valley, but the rock formations and villages are worth the drive year-round. The furthest of the regular day trips, so it's a full day on the road.
