Agadir city

Today i'll be talking to you about Agadir city.



I visited Agadir for the first time ( yes shame on me - -! ) last year on my 2015 Summer Road Trip. That summer road trip plan was to go from : Casablanca to > Oualidia to > Marrakech to>  Agadir to > Taghazout to > Mirleft to > Essaouira and comeback to Oualidia for few more days, And we did it ! it was a 15 days trip and 2000km and an AMAZING one ! ( Blessed ).
The highway from Marrakech to Aagadir was filled with amazing sceneries !


Arriving to Agadir, we had an unexpected surprise at the entry of the city, CROCOPARC was recently built and we haven't even heard of it before !
First Crocodile park in Morocco, it is a BEAUTIFUL space located in the heart of the agran trees opening on the Atlas Mountains in the background. it is an educational and ecological ; children friendly ; place too, millions of corocodile species found home there.










Agadir is a beautiful costal town, we stayed at Tikida Palace resort and spa 5*  the most beautiful stay ever ! situated on the coast and close to everything. At sunset we went for a little balade along the coast..



We rode a carousel..( childish souls ^^ ) and the view from the top was just MAGICAL



Later at night we took the car to go visit the mythical place called Agadir Oufella. Located on top of the hills, it is the ancient Agadir city which was destroyed back in 1960 by a terrible earthquake, after that, people went down the hill and built a new city. A new Agadir.




You can ride camels up there, or eat some DELICIOUS Moroccan Tajines !

Agadir is located south-ouest Morocco on the Atlantic coast 508 km south away from Casablanca.

    Hi! I enjoyed your posts a lot, I wish they were longer! Morroco is fascinating for me. I would like to leave you my email address (anaberker@gmail.com) in case you want to exchange travel stories as I also travel to some interesting places. I am Spanish-Turkish married to a Palestinian so I have some connections and a big love for Morocco! Also, would be good if you share some information about yourself like where you are from, do you live in Morocco permanently or not, do you speak Arabic?

Villas Fleurs Marrakech, Morocco

First Article Since Covid-19 Pandemic started and hopefully soon post Quarantine ! This, is THE best destination post Quaratine ! why ? well, if you don't want to rush to Hotels and Riads and Guest Houses full of people only few weeks after a Global Pandemic...Maybe a private Villa with your own private pool is your BEST choice ! I have chosen to let this destination simmer a bit until we know for sure IF we will be able to travel again soon or totally cancel 2020 Summer. But now that news have broken, and June 10th is the date the government declared will be the end ( gradually though ) of quarantine, I tought that it was time to share it with you. As you may know, back in February 2020, only weeks before Covid-19 news break and the whole world falls apart, we escaped for a week-end to enjoy ourselves at Complex Villas Fleurs Marrakech, which is a groupe of 5 Villas with variant numbers of rooms, that offers Hotel services : Breakfasts, Lunchs and Dinners as well as House keeping.

Tagadert Lodge, Oumnas, Maroc

Hello everyone ! Today I'm coming to you with a new destination, a new jem found among one of the smallest yet the cutest villages of Morocco... Tagadert Lodge. This dreamy sunset is still on my head though it's been a while now that I'm back to Casablanca. Three weeks ago we took the road on a friday evening to get to Oumnas Village or Tagadirt Village nearby Marrakech, only 25min to escape the hustle of the Red City and to be completely submerged in an amazing calm and serenity.. If you want to see our arrival moment and see what it looked like by night, and get a glimpse at the delicious dinner that was waiting for us, check out my Vlog on my Youtube channel. But here is what this stunning Jem looked like the next morning... The beautiful exteriors... And our cozy little suite... This place has so many beautiful corners, we decided to take our lunch in one of the spots near the pool ( yes

Dakhla, Morocco

Hello dear friends ! You must be saying " Whaaaat ? Two articles in two weeks ?! " .. Yeah, but for some of you, this article was highly anticipated as there is no such thing called WINTER in Dakhla City and so many of you were sending me messages asking me to share my trip to Dakhla with you so you can know what to do and what to see there because a good number of you chose it as a destination for New Year's Holidays. WOW that was a mouthfull ! Anyways !! Here is my detailed trip to Dakhla that was exactly two weeks ago :'( tbt ! I will begin by sharing some pictures of our stay there.. Between the ocean, the lagoon and the desert, hundreds of miles from any kind of civilization (and around 28 km from Dakhla town), away from the crowd and the constant hustle and bustle of modern life, you will find a place where the notion of time is very different. This welcoming land of escape is the perfect place for relaxing and spending unusual holidays. You will fin

DAR TANJA Guest House, Tangier, Morocco

Today i'm here to talk to you about my recent relaxing getaway to one of the most beautiful Guest Houses in Tangier city. My first time visiting Tangier was in 2005 ( OMG yes 13 years ago !! ) and during winter, due to rain and storms i haven't really had the chance to see anything properly when i was there. And since then i haven't find the time to go back and explore.  I must say tho, that i was more focused on exploring the surroundings than the city itself since i always thought for some reason that there was nothing really interesting or historical to see there.. But Oh how i was wrong ! Anyway ! We arrived to the beautiful Guest House Dar Tanja by night, and once i stepped foot in it i was already relaxed just by the beauty and warmth of the decor and the quiet of the House.   We got warmly welcomed by our lovely hostess Amal and got lead to our stunning Suite which was a cozyness dream ! After a quick tour of the room, we he

Imsouane, Morocco

Hello everyone ! I am here today only few days after the previous article, to share with you my absolute destination-crush of this year ! Before starting out this article, I want to make sure that you guys know this, just in case ! : There are 3 roads that leads to Imsouane from Casablanca. One through Essaouira, One where you take the highway all the way to Agadir city and then take Taghazout's direction to arrive 1 hour later to Imsouane, and One ( that somehow for I don't know which reason my husband decided to choose.. ) that goes throught SO MANY villages between Marrakech and agadir, where we got lost for hours trying to find our way !  We were litteraly in the middle of nowhere and there was no signal and no GPS to helps us find the way to Imsouane. So we did it the old fashion way and asked everyone we stumbled upon on the roads, Aka, 1 person every 45min ! If you don't follow me on Instagram, you should ! I shared some videos of us lost on the roads

Ouarzazate, Morocco

Hello again dear friends ! Today i will be taking you to a little ( but oh so traditional ! ) city. So many people were waiting for this article as they kept sending me questions about what to do there ? what to see ? where to stay ? how was the weather ? how was the road ? and on and on and on.. So here it is FINALY ! Enjoy... :) Ouarzazate 's trip was a 7 hours one. Many of you will scowl at the idea of being in a car for this long but if you are like me and you live for Road Trips you will enjoy it as if it was only a 2 hours ride ! The scenery was soo entertaining and enjoyable ! and we of course made some stops at some little villages with weird names but charming people to eat a bite and by bite i mean a TAJINE ! ( You guys know now how i LOVE tajines ^^ ). But if you're definitely not the type of person that will take a 7 hours Roadtrip no matter what, there is a flight that can take you there in no time !
