The annual three-day Morocco Rose Festival is a magical event that usually takes place at the beginning of May, and has become a favorite attraction and festival for tourists to attend. A massive souk, is opened in the town of El Kelaa Des Gouna where

Figuig’s ksour are signposted off the main road and are spread out round the base of the hill – each enclosing its own palmery within high turreted walls.

Morocco is probably best-known to travelers for cities like Fez, Casablanca and Marrakech. But this country in the northwest corner of Africa is actually a place of dramatic variety. On a two-week or even one-week visit, it's feasible to fit in a trip to a major city or two and explore rural areas.

The new freeway up over the mountains to Marrakech opened a few months ago and its an excellent improvement - the 'old' road is still a scenic route to take and still open of course for those who dont want to pay tolls or are travelling to the many villages that along that way - we saw a number of trucks using the the old road while we were on the freeway making our way to Marrakech in July Up until the opening of the freeway this was the main access road from the north to Agadir - so it was always a very busy road - with many large freight trucks and buses - with only several passing lanes provided along the route and many twists and turns and crests in the road - so not only an improvement in reducing the time that it takes to travel but also a big improvement in reducing the risk of driving that road - especially when combined with increment weather.

This expedition offers an incredibly rare opportunity to experience Nomadic Berber life with a family, as they make their bi-annual migration with their goats and sheep from the High Atlas to the lower Dades Valley. This really is a truly original, once in a lifetime experience!

Most Moroccans travel by bus. Bus travel is quite cheap but the buses get completely full, with more people wanting to tra vel than the bus has space for. So you will need to arrive in good time to guarantee getting a seat . Most of the buses travelling in and around Agadir leave from the main bus station in Inzegane Town so, if you want to travel cheaply, not very fast and together with the local people, then buses are good choice. A taxi however may be a better choice as you will get a fixed rate for a fixed destination but be sure to agree this in advance with the driver. Read more: Agadir: Travel around By Bus
