🏍️ DAY 1 — MARRAKECH → AGAFAY → TIZI N’TEST → TAROUDANT
Who said the first day had to be just a warm-up?
We set off from Marrakech and, before taking on the Atlas Mountains, make a detour strongly recommended by our friend Andrei from .ro
He spoke so highly of Agafay — where the asphalt ends, the tracks begin, and the rocky dunes invite you to leave the easy route behind — that we simply have to see for ourselves whether he exaggerated. 😁
From Agafay, we continue towards the Atlas Mountains and climb to the legendary Tizi n’Test Pass, approximately 2,100 metres above sea level. Switchbacks, narrow roads, mountain villages and spectacular views will probably make us stop more often than the itinerary admits.
We then descend into the Souss Valley and finish our first day in Taroudant.
📍 Marrakech → Agafay → Tizi n’Test → Taroudant
📏 Approximately 250–280 km, depending on the tracks we choose
🏍️ Asphalt, tracks, rocky dunes and mountain switchbacks
⛰️ From the energy of Marrakech to over 2,000 metres in the Atlas Mountains
This is not an easy introduction. It is the day Morocco makes one thing clear from the very beginning: distances here are measured in more than kilometres.
Andrei, if the dunes of Agafay are not as you described them, the tea is on you when we return! 😁
And this is only Day 1…
Only 3 places left .
