You'll begin with a view that takes in the sprawling whitewashed houses, the yacht-filled marina and the curve of beach where Agadir Bay meets the Atlantic Ocean. But, as local guide, Amina, explains, “the most distinctive view has got to be the Arabic inscription of ‘God, Country, King' written in white stones on the hillside below the kasbah. It's an unofficial motto of Morocco, sharing the country's faith and patriotism.” The modern cable car will whisk you 236 metres up the hill from the marina station to the Kasbah of Agadir Oufella. It's a six-minute journey each way, so you've time to grab your camera and take in the views. At the top, your guide will show you around the phoenix-like fortress, which has been forced to resurrect twice after earthquakes devastated the original structures in 1755 and1960.

Your expert, local guide will lead you on a private 4x4 tour that takes in both the cultural and natural wonder of Morocco's rural landscape. Salma, one such guide shares more, “from start to finish this day is as much about exploring the local community as it is exploring the countryside. At our first stop in Alma, we'll meet a Berber family and share a traditional breakfast of sweet mint tea and freshly baked bread.” At your next stop, at the Oasis of Tamzargout, you'll get your first taster of the palm-fringed swimming holes and rocky gorges that will characterise the rest of the trip. After some photos here that're bound to make it into your latest holiday posts, it's back in the 4x4.
