The 8 Best Surfing Spots In Morocco

Wild coasts, sometimes cut off by fine sandy beaches, sometimes bordered by white cliffs, the Atlantic sees the desert marrying the ocean.

On the Atlantic coast, the best surf spots follow each other and are not alike! Each beach offers a unique landscape, very different waves, sliding possibilities for all tastes.

To the delight of surfers in Morocco !

Thousands of birds, some of which are endangered like the bald ibis, calmly share the expanses of the shores with gliding enthusiasts.

All water sports are practiced here and many clubs offer introductory courses in windsurfing, diving, surfing, water ski, Kite surfing or even Jet Skis. The coast can also be visited on horseback, mountain biking, or why not on the back of a camel.

1. Safi :

Safi is resolutely turned towards the sea, but it is above all its spot, famous and recognized worldwide, that fascinates board sports enthusiasts. Regular, fast and powerful, the particularity of the Safi wave is its ability to form a tube over a length that varies between 800 and 1000 meters.

Surf pros compare it to Australia’s and rank it among the top ten in the world. The location and the good wind conditions also attract fans of wind and kite surfing.

2. Essaouira :

Whether you are a winter sports enthusiast or a professional water rider, the Essaouira bay offers golden sand that is always tender, the sun always present, and especially the wind, because Essaouira is the city of the trade winds.

A unique and still wild nature, a great diversity of point breaks, reef breaks and beach breaks, the spiritual and human cultural richness of a land full of beauty and energy. Such is the success of the Essaouira spot.

3. Taghazout :

Taghazout beach, Surf, Morocco

Taghazout is the surf village par excellence. Long straights and excellent beach breaks alternate on this coastline and delight surfers of all levels, from beginners to pro. The “Killer Point” wave is named after the orca (Killer whales) that can be seen from time to time in the area. After surfing, do not hesitate to go to the “banana village”, they make the best tagines in southern Morocco.

Further south, 120 km from Agadir, the small village of Mireleft attracts both fishermen and surfers. Its beaches overlooked by vertiginous cliffs offer a unique panorama for lovers of surfing or bodyboarding.

4. White Beach of Tan-Tan :

Over nearly 50 kilometers, the mythical White Beach of Tan-Tan is a virgin stretch of fine sand, bordered by a sea with rows of high and sovereign waves, frontal and roaring. 

In the middle of the dunes, this secluded corner of paradise includes an ornithological reserve “the Khnifiss National Park ” where cormorants and flamingos take refuge. The color of the flamingos contrasts surprisingly with the blue of the sky which is reflected on the waters of the wadi.

5. Oued Chbika of Tan-Tan :

Finally, a spot in full development, Oued Chbika offers the region multiple hotel infrastructures to welcome the many enthusiasts who stay there.

When you leave Tan-Tan, you will be surprised to discover the impressive “Devil’s Hole”, a pit of more than 30 meters in diameter and depth. The ocean rushes into it through an underground gallery.

6. Cape Juby : Nayla in Tarfaya :

Further on, the lagoon of Nayla is a superb place sought after by surfers for its opulent seabed. Separated from the ocean by a large cordon of dunes over several tens of meters, the lagoon allows surfers, windsurfers, body surfers of all levels to have fun.

Suitable for fishing as shown by the huts on the shore and the wrecks of boats, witnesses of the violence of the storms, Tarfaya, formerly Cap Juby, was one of the Aéropostale relays between Casablanca and Dakar. The city is famous thanks to the literary works of Saint-Exupéry, who was one of the famous pilots of the Aéropostale. Tarfaya hosts a small museum dedicated to his memory.

From Tarfaya to Laayoune, you can visit picturesque fishing villages. We fish all kinds of fish and shellfish, but more particularly lobster and lobster.

Morocco reopens its airspace in February after more than 2 months of closure

The Moroccan government has decided to reopen the airspace from February 7 to flights to and from the country, after more than two months of closure, according to a statement released Thursday evening by the MAP agency.

Authorities were under pressure from a bankrupt tourism sector and Moroccans stranded abroad to unblock borders closed since November 29 due to an outbreak of the Omicron variant.

“This decision comes in accordance with the legal provisions relating to the management of the state of health emergency and following the recommendations of the scientific and technical commission and taking into account the evolution of the epidemiological situation in the kingdom”, indicates the press release.

“To support the implementation of this decision, a technical commission is currently examining the measures to be adopted at the border posts and the conditions required for travelers, which will be announced later”, specifies the same source.

The government also extended Thursday the state of health emergency in force since 2020, throughout the territory, until February 28.

Royal Air Maroc (RAM) announced, this Friday, the resumption of its international scheduled flights, on its entire network, from February 7, 2022, date of the reopening of the Moroccan borders within the framework of measures related to the Covid-19 health crisis. Pending the resumption of regular air traffic, special flights continue to operate from January 28 to February 6, 2022, to Paris, Brussels, Milan, Barcelona and Madrid.

In reference to the government’s decision, announced Thursday evening, RAM is preparing to reschedule its flights to and from Morocco, thus replacing the special one-way flights, operated on a limited basis in recent months to a few international destinations. In a press release, the airline indicated that “the flight program will thus include direct flights connecting Morocco to around fifty airports in Europe, Africa, America, the Middle East and Asia”.

According to the same source, the RAM “will strengthen its flight program with a gradual increase in the number of frequencies and destinations”, to better support travelers as part of the resumption of international traffic. In this sense, the company recalls that the trips will be carried out “in strict compliance with the conditions required by the public authorities which will be announced later, in order to guarantee the health and safety” of customers and staff.

Tickets for flights available for sale can be purchased through RAM’s website, through its call centers and sales agencies, as well as through the travel agency network, the company said.

Until 4 p.m. this Friday, 4,899 cases of the new coronavirus have been recorded in Morocco. Thus, the total number of people infected since the start of the health crisis in the country has reached 1,124,986. In addition, 24,653,642 people have received, until today, the first dose of the vaccine against Covid-19. , while 23,071,933 received the second and 4,358,048 received the third.

Visit Agadir: tourism guide

Agadir: a Paradise of Golden Sands and Sparkling Sunshine All Year Around!

Why you should visit Agadir :

Agadir is considered to be the capital of Souss region and a major center of cultural and economic activity in Morocco.

Its coastline extends southwards to the Saharan provinces and what really makes it worth visiting is that it is just three hours from the main capitals of Europe.

Agadir city certainly holds some of the most beautiful beaches in Morocco, a space where you can forget all about your daily routine and stress of life. (Morocco’s most underrated places to visit)

Besides, Agadir is a place where visitors find an atmosphere in which they would enjoy doing a wide and varied range of pleasurable activities.

Agadir is typically a modern and coherent architectural design, very big avenues and spacious town center, green spaces such as The Valley of Birds and the lively Talborjt shopping streets and terraces where you can relax and sip coffee.

In this article you are going to find out a set of places and excursions to enjoy when visiting Agadir.

The Stunning Beaches of Taghazout & Tamraght

Fringed by banana groves, the beaches of Taghazout and Tamraght are some of the most stunning extreme beaches in Agadir.

Taghazout beach
Taghazout beach

They are located just about 19 Km in the north of Agadir, and are featured with their extraordinary climate. 

They are very popular among people of Agadir themselves, widely known for the sport of surfing, there are even some clubs specialized in surfing and made specifically for helping people learn how to surf.

 

Moreover, there are also some other beautiful beaches along the coastline like Imourane, Imi Ouaddar, Aghroud, Tamri and more importantly Imsouane.

Marina: The Beating Heart of Agadir City

Just a few miles away from the city center, Marina is obviously a space for entertainment and seizing the day, and a prestigious and luxurious shopping area for tourists. 

Marina offers clients various services, and activities along with fashion shops, restaurants of all categories the thing that guarantees visitors all they could wish for in the way of comfort, modern infrastructures, and first-rate service.

And not far away from Marina, there are plenty of swimming pools, spas, tennis courts, water sports, sea trips and so on. In fact, everything that a world-famous seaside resort should be able to offer its visitors.

The Valley of Birds: A Must-visit Place

The Valley of Birds is a zoo that holds inside it rare and different kinds of birds from South America and Asia along with some mammals including wild sheep and macaque. 

The zoo also involves so many other species such as magnolia trees, banana plants, bougainvillea and oleanders which are surrounded all by a wonderful cascade. 

It is absolutely one the main attracting areas in Agadir and concerning its location, it is situated quite in the middle of the city and extends to the corniche. It is being visited by hundreds if not thousands of people every day.

Souk El Had: The Biggest Market in Africa

Souk El Had is an authentic traditional market. It is undoubtedly one of the biggest and most wonderful Souks in Morocco. It opens six days a week, except on Mondays.

The market took the name of Souk El Had when it used to open once only on Sundays. 

Behind its ramparts which are made up of clay, you find yourself in a timeless atmosphere and discover an abundance of goods, from the most contemporary to the most traditional. 

The Souk was built in the early 1960s, after the earthquake and was first renovated in 1997. 

Now it has gone through some modernization including a big roof that covers throughout the Souk and new flooring. Furthermore, it offers visitors a space up to standards in terms of safety and pedestrian mobility. 

Souk El Had attracts customers of all kinds. Spices, olives, honey and dates, furniture and fabrics, crafts, fashion, household equipment, Moroccan traditional clothes.

Lots of things in fact could be found and bought with a reasonable and not that expensive price.

Souss Massa National Park: a Remarkable Geographical Area

The Park lies along a strip of coastland, stretching from the mouth of the river of Souss “ Oued Souss ”,  which is in the southern part of Agadir, to Sidi Moussa Aglou near Tiznit town.

It is a diverse geographical area that contains dunes, steppes, woodland, wetland and some arid zones. 

Mamma life includes wild boar, jackals, foxes, hares, mongooses, wildcats, genets and porcupines.

Besides, the Souss Massa Park has exceptional and distinguished landscapes for visitors and visits to the park can center around two themes namely the discovery of the Saharan fauna and exploration of Ouad Massa estuary.

Souss Massa Culture: Finery & Food

Souss Mass has always been known that the overwhelming majority of its inhabitants are Amazigh.

That is to say, the culture and traditions of Amazigh people are being lively there in the region in terms of clothes and food. 

Traditionally, Amazigh women wear silver bracelets that they never take off because in Amazigh custom, the richness of a wife’s adornments makes an indication about the family’s social status. 

On some occasions, they put on their finest adornments which are often made from silver such as earrings, necklaces, and pendants, always coming in a wide variety of shapes.

Such jewelry has a symbolism, an art that is still alive today in Souss Massa region and specifically in Inezgane, Tiznit and Taroudant.

Moroccan cuisine, for certain, has its own great classics and countless variants, and they differ from one region to another but speaking of coastal areas like Agadir, we find that fish is at the top of a bill that includes tuna Tagine with raisins, monkfish with preserved lemon, as well as fish croquettes with saffron rice.

But what really distinguishes the cuisine of Souss Massa is that it incorporates a set of Amazigh produce such as argan oil, saffron, honey and almonds.

And of course, olive oil is always on hand along with cumin and a mixture of spices.

Generally speaking, Moroccan culinary is sophisticated and a flavorful one with its authenticity which is kept to the fullest.
