No trip to the Agadir region is complete without at least one day in Marrakech. The Red City sits roughly three and a half hours east across the High Atlas foothills, a journey that feels effortless in our comfortable air-conditioned coach. Once the city's terracotta ramparts come into view, the pace of the day shifts entirely. Your licensed guide leads you through the labyrinthine lanes of the historic Medina, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, stopping at the majestic Koutoubia Mosque gardens, the dyers' quarter and the famous spice markets before delivering you to the beating heart of Marrakech: Jemaa El Fna. This legendary square changes face by the hour, orange juice sellers in the morning, storytellers and musicians through the afternoon, and an extraordinary blur of food stalls, acrobats and Gnawa performers after sundown. You will have free time here to explore on your own pace, discover a favourite rooftop restaurant and absorb the living theatre of the square before meeting your guide for the scenic return to Agadir.
Medina & Ancient Souks
Weave through centuries-old lanes lined with spice merchants, leather workers, carpet weavers and artisan workshops inside the UNESCO-listed Medina.
Koutoubia Mosque Gardens
Walk the peaceful orange-tree gardens around the 12th-century Koutoubia Mosque, Marrakech's most recognisable landmark visible from across the city.
Licensed Local Guide
A professional, multilingual city guide unlocks the stories, shortcuts and hidden corners that independent visitors simply never find.

“10/10! A really fun and exciting experience. We didn’t do the bbq and came for the morning session for the quad biking and Sandboarding. Our instructors Mohamed & Hicham were brilliant. They took many photos and videos for our memories and made the experience whole heartily fun. Very clear with instructions on both activities. Filled with lots of scenery and fun. Definitely recommend!!!”

“We don't have the words to thank you all the staff from drivers to the guides those who are involved in making it an unforgettable experience! This was one of our best experiences in Agadir! Especially Halima, the most humble and kind person professionally. Thank you for making us feel at home and even though I didn’t mention on my booking that I was a vegetarian, she made the best omelette I ever had for my dinner. We recommend to anyone who wants to visit Agadir/The Sand Dunes excursion to choose Ranch Tamri!! God bless you all, you are truly genuine gems.”
