Agadir Activities
Camel ride in Taghazout and Tamraght along the lagoon and the surf beaches, with mint tea at sunset. Suitable for all ages.
Overview
North of Agadir, the fishing villages of Tamraght and Taghazout have become Morocco's best-known surf spots, but their beaches are also lovely at the pace of a camel. The ride starts near Tamraght, where the river meets the ocean and forms a shallow lagoon that attracts birds.
Led by a camel guide, you ride along the sand and the edge of the lagoon, with the surfers in the waves and the hills of the Atlas foothills behind. Halfway there is time to dismount for photographs and a mint tea. The late afternoon ride is the most popular, finishing as the sun sinks into the Atlantic.
Detailed programme
Start
Your driver brings you to the camel station near Tamraght, where the camel guide helps you climb into the saddle.
The camels are dromedaries, used to carrying visitors; they kneel down so you can get on and off easily.
The ride
The caravan sets off beside the lagoon at the mouth of the river, often busy with herons, egrets and gulls.
The lagoon changes with the tides and the seasons and is a good place to see wading birds in winter.
Halfway
You continue along the beach with the surfers in the waves and stop to walk on the sand and take photographs.
Taghazout and Tamraght are known for their right-hand point breaks, and the beach is lively with surf schools.
End
Back near the station, mint tea is served as the sun goes down over the Atlantic, before the drive to your hotel.
In winter the sun sets early, so the sunset ride starts in the middle of the afternoon.
This is a private experience, so times and stops can be adjusted to your arrival, your pace and the season.
