Atlantikküste von Marokko (Morocco)

Morocco's west coast is diverse: the modern holiday resort of Agadir, bustling old fishing villages, secluded beaches; the Spanish-Portuguese influenced metropolises of Rabat and Casablanca and, in the far south, well-fortified Berber settlements can be found. The western Atlantic coast of Morocco spans almost 1,500 mls, although it is only the northern third from Tangier as far as Agadir that is densely populated. Large towns with a strong European influence, brilliant white fishing villages, romantic, bustling, sophisticated bathing resorts and secluded beaches mark the landscape here.

West Oriental flair can be experienced in the hinterlands: Fez, Meknes and Marrakech, the royal inland cities, are easily to be reached from the coast. Agadir is recommended as a starting point for trips out into the fertile Sous flats with the wealthy town of Taroudant, the "little sister" of Marrakech, and Tiznit, the town of the silversmiths. Those who venture further south will encounter the wild rugged landscape of the Anti Atlas mountain range and the caravanserai centre of Guelmin in West Sahara.
