About this experience
Leave Taghazout early and follow the southern Atlantic coast towards some of Morocco’s most distinctive coastal landscapes. This full-day Legzira, Sidi Ifni and Tiznit tour from Taghazout brings together dramatic beaches, historic towns and traditional craftsmanship in one varied day.

From there, continue towards Aglou for a relaxed Moroccan tea stop before following the coast towards Mirleft and its rugged beaches and cliffs.
