A day in Paradise (Valley)
If you’re wondering what else you can do in Taghazout besides surfing and yoga, Paradise Valley is a great choice. It’s a beautiful canyon with palm trees, located near Agadir.
We love visiting this place because there’s so much to do: swim in fresh-water pools, try cliff jumping, go for short hikes, sunbathe, or enjoy local food.
AdventureKeys takes care of your transport and lunch, so all you need is your swimwear, towel, and sunscreen.
The drive from Taghazout to Paradise Valley takes about 40 minutes. On the way, there’s a stop at a Moroccan Argan oil factory where you can tour a herb garden, learn about local organic products, taste food, and try health products like Argan oil made by the locals.
When we arrived, we parked the car and continued on foot. After walking up a small hill, we saw the beautiful oasis with palm trees and a river.
Along the way, we passed small restaurants where you can enjoy fresh juice or a meal with your feet in the water. After about 20 minutes, we reached a natural gorge in the river.
We had fun with locals who created waterslides by pouring water and soap down the cliffs, and there were cliffs of different heights for jumping into the gorge for a swim.
It’s hard to describe how amazing this place is, so if you’re in the area, don’t miss a trip to Paradise Valley. It really lives up to its name.
Hammam
If you’re looking for a truly authentic cultural experience while visiting Morocco, you should definitely visit a local hammam. A Moroccan hammam is similar to a Turkish bath but with some unique differences.
The hammam is an important part of Moroccan culture. Locals usually visit once a week to cleanse their skin and body, and catch up on the latest news with friends and family.
When you enter a public hammam, you’ll need to pay an entrance fee (around 12 MAD/€1.50). You’ll then go to the changing room to undress and get ready for the cleansing.
Next, you enter a sauna, where you’ll sweat out toxins. Afterward, you’ll rinse off with cold water. In the next room, you can have your body scrubbed from head to toe, leaving your skin feeling soft like silk.
For an additional fee (around 50 MAD/€4.50), you can get a massage, but be prepared—it’s quite intense!
Finally, you’ll return to the changing room, get dressed, and leave feeling refreshed, clean, and revitalized!
Agadir and the souk
The city of Agadir is the place to be if you would like to go to a pub, nightclub or a restaurant that is more similar to the European tourist cities. The beach promenade is busy and packed with shops, bars and restaurants with a beautiful view over the city beach.
Food and drinks
If you stay at AdventureKeys , you will enjoy a tasty and healthy Moroccan dinner every night. I also suggest trying some local restaurants in Taghazout.
Near the beach, you can find familiar foods like hamburgers, pizzas, and pasta, but with a Moroccan twist. Pair your meal with refreshing ginger beer or freshly squeezed juice.
For a more authentic experience, visit a small restaurant under the mosque in Taghazout. They serve different types of Tagine.
Tagine is a traditional Moroccan dish made with meat, seafood, or chicken, along with vegetables and delicious spices. It’s cooked in a special clay pot, which is also called a Tagine, and comes in many tasty varieties.
