Surfing in Taghazout and Excursion in Paradise Valley

Programme

Overview:

Taghazout is a small fishing village in the city of Agadir in southwest Morocco. The inhabitants are mostly of Berber origin. In recent years, tourism has become important for the local economy, and it is a popular surf destination. In the 1960s, European and American expatriates began surfing in Taghazout Bay. In the decades that followed, a surf industry emerged in coastal areas of Morocco such as Agadir and Essaouira. The latter is known for windsurfing and Taghazout is nicknamed the “Surfing Mecca”.

About 20 km north of Agadir, the Paradise Valley is made up of a series of valleys, rock formations, and natural pools at the foot of the High Atlas Mountains. It is an idyllic setting where one can completely get away from it all: mountains, valleys, palm groves, and Berber villages. It was the hippies of the 1960s who gave it its fitting name.

Best Day in Morroco With Noor Noor is the best. Noor is a fantastic tour guide. He took my mother, sister, and me on a full day to Casablanca, where we got to see the city in just one day. We went to all the tourist places and the local spots that Noor knows well. Noor's English is amazing, which allowed my sister and me to learn high-level concepts about Morroco that we were very curious about. Noor's knowledge is extremely extensive, he knows everything! Noor is also extremely nice and a gentleman, he opened the door for my mother every time! If you want to go to Casablanca or other tours in Morroco book Noor.

Casablanca experience I was very impressed by the professionalism and punctuality of our guide; Noor. Not only Noor was knowlegable, courteous, pleasant, friendly, he was also very attentive to every detail of the tour to Casablanca. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to know the history of Casablanca and also Morocco since Noor took the time the explain not only the history of Casablanca, but also the history of Morocco. The tour started early at 7AM and the drive to Casablanca was very smooth and pleasant. You get to see the incredible Moroccan sunrise while driving! Quite a surprise that was!Thank you Noor!

The best highlights of Casablanca with a knowledgeable guide Excellent tour, and a great way to see parts of the Morocco landscape via the drive. The Hassan II Mosque is awe inspiring. Rick’s Cafe was another highlight- charming and fun- and we didn’t mind that it’s a tourist attraction, we were tourists after all. Nour is very knowledgeable about his country, we both learned so much and got a real feel for the place. We particularly enjoyed the historical facts and sites he showed us- spots visited by the likes of Churchill, the original Casa Blanca (White House), and many more. It’s a long day but well worth it, especially because the drive is quite comfortable.

Truly an amazing, cultural, historical, and incredible tour!!!! This was truly an amazing tour!!! We were sooo very fortunate to have Noor as our guide. He not only made the experience above and beyond, but one I will never forget. His knowledge and experience made the tour where you just didn't want it to end..... He explained not only the city and it's history, but Morocco and the cultures as well. Two points that warmed my heart......the 1943 meeting place w/ Churchill and Roosevelt and the other was Noor treated us to the most outstanding fruit smoothie I ever had! (plus made sure our lunch was perfect) I have been on quite a few tours but this was exceptional by far! THANK YOU NOOR! 🙂
