Consider your Morocco morning sorted. This half-day trip packs in a scenic drive, an old walled city beneath the Atlas peaks and a medina made for wandering. The early start pays off quickly as the road from Agadir opens into wide plains and argan forest. With a bit of luck, you might even spot the famous tree-climbing goats perched casually in the branches. Then, just before you roll into the city, you'll pause for a few snaps of its 15th-century ramparts rising over the landscape.
Once inside the walls, the city slows you down. You'll settle in with a glass of mint tea before strolling into the medina, where you can explore at your own pace. The maze-like lanes are packed with little workshops and colourful stalls selling all kinds of goods from thyme-flavoured honey, warm breads and freshly pressed argan oil to handwoven baskets, traditional rugs and carved wooden trinkets.
After seeing how far your haggling skills will take you, you'll wrap up your visit by making your way back towards Agadir with one last look at the Souss Valley. It's a simple, scenic half-day trip that gives you a little taste of Morocco's way of life.
