Solo Marrakech, Agadir, and Taghazout Week

Dates are flexible. This day-by-day plan is provisional until you choose exact travel dates.

Day 1
Marrakech

Arrive in Marrakech

  1. Koutoubia Mosque — Hivernage/medina edge; admire Marrakech’s landmark minaret from the gardens and nearby paths (late afternoon, ~30 minutes).
  2. Jemaa el-Fnaa — Medina; watch the square come alive as the evening crowd gathers (early evening, ~1 hour).
  3. Café des Épices — Rahba Kedima; settle in for rooftop views and a Moroccan dinner, roughly 100–200 MAD per person (evening, ~1.5 hours).
  4. Jemaa el-Fnaa food stalls — Medina; sample a simple local supper and soak up the nighttime atmosphere (later evening, ~1 hour; roughly 50–120 MAD).

Late Afternoon

Start at Koutoubia Mosque, on the edge of the medina, and admire its minaret from the surrounding gardens and paths. Allow about 30 minutes; the gardens are free to visit, though the mosque itself is not open to non-Muslim visitors. From here, Jemaa el-Fnaa is roughly a 10–15-minute walk. Head there as the evening crowd gathers and take an hour to soak up the changing scene—keep an eye on your belongings, and politely decline any unwanted offers for photos or services.

Evening

Walk into the medina to Café des Épices in Rahba Kedima for rooftop views and a relaxed Moroccan dinner; budget around 100–200 MAD per person. It’s a popular spot, so you may need to wait for a table at sunset. Afterward, return to Jemaa el-Fnaa for a later snack from the food stalls and a final hour of atmosphere. Choose a busy stall with a steady flow of customers, and expect to spend roughly 50–120 MAD.

Day 2
Marrakech

Marrakech

  1. Ben Youssef Madrasa — Northern medina; explore the intricate courtyard and historic rooms (morning, ~1 hour).
  2. Marrakech Museum — Near Ben Youssef; see art and exhibits in a restored palace setting (late morning, ~1 hour).
  3. Marrakech souks — Central medina; browse the craft lanes at an unhurried pace (early afternoon, ~1.5 hours).
  4. Bahia Palace — Southern medina; visit its decorated rooms and peaceful courtyards (mid-afternoon, ~1.5 hours).
  5. Nomad — Rahba Kedima; enjoy a modern Moroccan meal from its rooftop, roughly 150–300 MAD per person (early evening, ~1.5 hours).

Morning

Start at Ben Youssef Madrasa when it opens, usually around 9am; allow about an hour for the carved cedar, zellij and quiet courtyard. Entry is typically around 50 MAD, but check the posted price on the day. It’s a short walk to the Marrakech Museum, where you can spend another hour among the exhibits and restored palace rooms. The museum generally opens in the morning and closes in the early evening; hours and admission can change, so confirm at the entrance.

Early afternoon

Take your time through the Marrakech souks for about 90 minutes, following the craft lanes south from the museum area. Browsing is free, and it’s easier to enjoy the maze if you don’t try to cover it all; agree a price before buying, and keep small notes handy. Then walk south to Bahia Palace—roughly 20–30 minutes through the medina, depending on crowds—or take a short taxi if you’d rather save your feet. Give the palace about 90 minutes; it usually closes in the late afternoon, so check the day’s last-entry time and aim to arrive well before then. Admission is commonly around 70 MAD.

Early evening

Finish at Nomad in Rahba Kedima, a short walk back north from the palace. Book ahead if you want a rooftop table around sunset, and budget roughly 150–300 MAD per person for a meal. The medina is best covered on foot, but after dinner a petit taxi can save you a long walk; agree the fare before setting off or ask for the meter.

Day 3
Marrakech

Last day in Marrakech

  1. Jardin Majorelle — Gueliz; stroll the vivid gardens and shaded paths (morning, ~1.5 hours; booking ahead is sensible).
  2. Musée Yves Saint Laurent Marrakech — Beside Jardin Majorelle; explore exhibits on the designer and his work (late morning, ~1 hour).
  3. Le Jardin Secret — Mouassine; take a quieter garden break in the medina (early afternoon, ~1 hour).
  4. Terrasse des Épices — Mouassine; have a relaxed final Marrakech lunch with medina views, roughly 150–300 MAD per person (mid-afternoon, ~1.5 hours).

Morning

Book a timed ticket in advance for Jardin Majorelle and aim for an early entry; allow about 1½ hours to wander its cobalt-blue walls, cactus beds and shady paths. Tickets are typically around 170 MAD, with prices and entry slots subject to change. It’s in Gueliz, about a 10–15-minute taxi ride from the medina; agree the fare before setting off or use a ride-hailing app. Next door, spend about an hour at the Musée Yves Saint Laurent Marrakech, usually open 10am–6pm with last entry before closing; check its current schedule, as opening days can vary. Museum admission is usually around 130 MAD.

Afternoon

Take a taxi back toward Mouassine, then walk the lanes to Le Jardin Secret for a quieter garden pause. Allow about an hour; entry is generally around 100 MAD, with an extra charge if you want to climb the tower. Opening hours vary by season, so check before you go. From there, settle in for a relaxed late lunch at Terrasse des Épices, just a short walk away. Ask for a rooftop table for medina views and budget roughly 150–300 MAD per person. It’s a lovely unhurried way to wrap up your last day in Marrakech.

Day 4
Agadir

Travel to Agadir

Getting there from Marrakech
Coach with CTM or Supratours (about 3–4 hours, roughly 120–180 MAD). Book through ctm.ma or supratours.ma; choose a morning departure to leave time for your Agadir afternoon.
  1. Marrakech to Agadir by coach or car — Allow roughly 3–4 hours, plus time for stops; aim for a morning departure and confirm your station or pickup point in advance.
  2. Agadir Beach promenade — Central beachfront; stretch your legs after the journey with an easy seaside walk (late afternoon, ~1 hour).
  3. Agadir Marina — Marina district; browse the waterfront and choose a spot for dinner (early evening, ~1 hour).
  4. Pure Passion — Agadir Marina; sit down to seafood or other international dishes, roughly 200–400 MAD per person (evening, ~1.5 hours).

Late Afternoon

After the morning coach, drop your bags at your accommodation and head to Agadir Beach promenade for an easy hour by the sea. Walk north along the waterfront toward the marina, or take a petit taxi if you’re ready to put your feet up after travelling. The breeze can feel cool by late afternoon, so bring a light layer.

Early Evening

Continue to Agadir Marina, around a 20–30-minute stroll along the promenade. Browse the waterfront and boats, then choose a dinner spot at an easy pace; it’s a pleasant place to unwind rather than something you need to rush through.

Dinner

Have dinner at Pure Passion in the marina, where seafood and international dishes run roughly 200–400 MAD per person. Check the evening hours and consider booking if you have your heart set on a particular table. Afterward, enjoy a short harbor-side stroll or take a petit taxi back to your accommodation.

Day 5
Agadir

Agadir

  1. Souk El Had — Central Agadir; browse the city’s large market for produce, crafts, and everyday goods (morning, ~2 hours; check current opening days locally).
  2. Agadir Crocoparc — Eastern outskirts; see crocodiles and landscaped gardens at this family-friendly park (early afternoon, ~2 hours; arrange a taxi or ride in advance).
  3. Agadir Oufella — Hill above the city; take in the bay and city views from the historic kasbah site (late afternoon, ~1 hour; use a taxi or cable car if operating).
  4. Restaurant Daffy — Central Agadir; enjoy Moroccan or international fare in a casual setting, roughly 100–200 MAD per person (evening, ~1.5 hours).

Morning

Start at Souk El Had, Agadir’s sprawling everyday market, and give yourself about two hours to browse produce, spices, household goods and craft stalls. It’s generally a morning outing, but check locally before setting off because opening days and hours can change. Bring small cash, agree a price before buying, and keep valuables zipped away in the crowds. From the market, take a petit taxi toward Agadir Crocoparc on the eastern outskirts; allow roughly 20–30 minutes depending on traffic, and arrange the return ride with the driver or your accommodation before you enter.

Afternoon

Spend around two hours at Agadir Crocoparc, where shaded paths wind through landscaped gardens and crocodile enclosures. Check current admission and opening hours before you go; a taxi or pre-booked ride is the simplest option, as it’s outside the centre. Afterward, head back toward town and continue to Agadir Oufella for late-afternoon views over the bay. Take a taxi up, or use the cable car if it’s operating that day; confirm the return plan before you leave the summit, and bring a light layer for the breezier hilltop.

Evening

Finish with dinner at Restaurant Daffy in central Agadir. Budget roughly 100–200 MAD per person, depending on your order, and expect a relaxed mix of Moroccan and international dishes. If you’re taking a petit taxi back to your accommodation, confirm the fare or use the meter where available.

Day 6
Taghazout

Continue to Taghazout

Getting there from Agadir
Taxi via the N1 coastal road (about 45–60 minutes, roughly 250–350 MAD per car). Arrange through your accommodation or try the inDrive app; morning travel suits your Taghazout plans.
ALSA local bus toward Taghazout (around 1–1.5 hours, roughly 10–20 MAD; pay onboard and check the current route and timetable locally).
  1. Agadir to Taghazout by taxi or local bus — Allow roughly 45–60 minutes; travel in the morning and confirm the drop-off point, especially if carrying surf gear.
  2. Taghazout village — Village center; wander the lanes and get oriented to the small surf town (late morning, ~1 hour).
  3. Taghazout Beach — Waterfront; settle in for a swim or watch the surfers, conditions permitting (early afternoon, ~1.5 hours).
  4. World of Waves — Taghazout waterfront; take a relaxed meal or coffee with a sea view, roughly 100–250 MAD per person (mid-afternoon, ~1.5 hours).

Morning

Leave Agadir in the morning and ask your accommodation to arrange a taxi to Taghazout; agree the fare and exact drop-off point before setting off, especially if you have surf gear. Allow around 45–60 minutes and roughly 250–350 MAD per car. The cheaper alternative is an ALSA bus toward Taghazout—about 1–1½ hours and roughly 10–20 MAD—but check the current route and timetable locally. Once you’ve dropped your bags, spend about an hour wandering the village center: its narrow lanes are easy to explore on foot, and a relaxed loop is enough to get your bearings.

Early Afternoon

Head down to Taghazout Beach for an easy stretch by the water. Set aside around 1½ hours to swim if conditions are suitable, or simply watch the surfers; check the flags and ask locally about currents before getting in. The beach is right by the village, so there’s no need to arrange transport.

Mid-Afternoon

Settle in at World of Waves on the waterfront for a leisurely coffee or meal with a sea view. Budget roughly 100–250 MAD per person, depending on what you order, and check its hours on arrival as they can vary. Keep the rest of the afternoon open rather than rushing on—this is a good first day to unpack, enjoy the coast, and get used to Taghazout’s laid-back pace.

Day 7
Taghazout

Taghazout

  1. Paradise Valley — Inland from Taghazout; spend the morning among the rocky gorge and pools, checking local conditions before setting out (morning to early afternoon, ~4–5 hours round trip; arrange transport locally).
  2. Taghazout Skatepark — Near the village; stop by to watch local skaters and enjoy the coastal setting (late afternoon, ~45 minutes).
  3. Café Mouja — Taghazout; unwind over coffee or a light meal, roughly 50–150 MAD per person (early evening, ~1 hour).
  4. Taghazout waterfront — Village shoreline; finish the trip with a sunset stroll and a final look at the surf (sunset, ~45 minutes).

Morning — Paradise Valley

Arrange a driver or small group trip locally the day before; allow 4–5 hours round trip from Taghazout, depending on road conditions and how long you linger. Agree the pickup time, return fare and waiting arrangements in advance, and bring cash for any local parking or access charges. Check with your accommodation that the pools and paths are in good condition before setting out: water levels can vary, and the rocky walk can be slippery. Wear sturdy shoes, pack water and sun protection, and don’t count on swimming unless conditions look safe.

Late afternoon — Taghazout Skatepark

Back in the village, take a relaxed 45-minute stop at Taghazout Skatepark to watch local skaters and enjoy the coastal atmosphere. Then wander over to Café Mouja for coffee or a light meal; budget around 50–150 MAD per person. Check that it’s open when you arrive, as hours can vary.

Sunset — Taghazout waterfront

Finish with an easy 45-minute stroll along the Taghazout waterfront as the light fades over the surf. The paths and shoreline can be uneven, so watch your footing, and bring a light layer if the sea breeze picks up.
