The experience
About this tour
Timlalin is a stretch of high sand dunes along the Atlantic coast north of Agadir — one of the few places in Morocco where the desert literally meets the sea. The landscape is striking: golden dunes dropping toward rugged cliffs and ocean waves.
The drive up the coast is part of the experience. You'll pass through surf villages and make a stop at the rainbow-painted houses of Aghroud, where local mural art covers the walls overlooking the water. There's also a guided walk through hidden limestone canyons in the Atlas foothills.
At the dunes, you get sandboarding equipment and instruction — beginners are welcome, and it's easier than it looks. The departure is timed so you're on the dunes for golden hour, with the sun setting over the Atlantic cliffs before the drive back to Agadir.
