Agadir and South Morocco – Sun, Surf and Sahara
South Morocco is one of the country's most diverse regions — where the High Atlas Mountains tumble down to the Atlantic Ocean, where flamingos wade in coastal lagoons, where world-class surf breaks roll in from the open ocean, and where the Sahara Desert begins its vast southward sweep.
