“Brahim has welcomed us at the very last minute late at night, the neighbors brought us breakfast the next morning. It was calm and comfortable,” said Maeliss in an Airbnb review in Aghroud. “An accommodation of dreams, magnificent view, a host so welcoming, sympathetic and pleasant,” said another guest. 

As you enter Aghroud, you are greeted with a mosaic of beautiful little houses. The buildings are painted with soft colours which look incredible against the sunny sky backdrop. The view – which seems straight from a painter’s canvas – will make you want to snap a million pictures, and it still wouldn’t be enough to capture the beauty of the place. 

During your stay, many hosts will make it their responsibility to accommodate you for nearly every need. From breakfast, to restaurant recommendations in the village, to transportation. 

Complete your trip with fun activities:

After you take in the overwhelming beauty of the place, now it’s time to plan for the fun activities you can enjoy in Aghroud. 

Swimming:

Enjoy a refreshing swim in the Atlantic. It is preferable to go in the morning as a morning swim will boost your metabolism and energize you for the following activities. 

Sunbathe under the golden sun:

The southern regions of Morocco are known for the  warm and summer-like sunny weather. Embrace the warmth and the golden sand of the Atlantic by sunbathing. Do not forget to put on sunscreen! 

Surfing:

The south of Morocco is known for its surfable beaches which are favorites of many surfers around the globe. Similar to Imsouane or Taghazoute, colorful houses overlook the seafront and the reef breaks are perfect for surfing.

Camel rides:

Every Moroccan must have been asked this question at least once: “Do you ride camels?” Well… yes, but mostly for traditional and touristic purposes. In the southern Sahara of Morocco, riding a camel is easier for locals than riding through the dunes on an SUV or a 4×4. Camel rides are also used by tour guides in the region to immerse the visitors into the culture and the traditions of Morocco. 

Explore the region further and go for a walk:

Enjoy the panoramic view of the Atlantic and the kaleidoscopic houses with an explorative walk around the neighborhood. Keep in mind that walking in company is always safer and, as they say, “the more the merrier!”

Have a safe trip and don’t forget to buy gifts and souvenirs from local gift shops!
