The Timlalin dunes are a field of pale sand on the Atlantic coast north of Agadir, beyond Taghazout and close to Tamri. They are small next to the Sahara, but they sit right above the ocean, which is what makes them worth the trip.
Where the dunes are
From Agadir the coast road runs north through Aourir, Tamraght and Taghazout. The dunes come after Aghroud beach, on the way to Tamri. Most tours from Agadir and Taghazout pick visitors up in the afternoon and time the visit to end with the sunset.
Dunes and canyon
Next to the dunes, the coast breaks into cliffs, rocky ground and a small canyon with caves used by local fishermen. A guided walk there takes thirty minutes to an hour and is a quiet contrast to the dunes. Our canyon and caves walk covers it.
Choosing an activity
- Quad biking or a buggy ride if you want speed.
- Sandboarding for an active session at your own pace.
- A camel ride and sunset tea for a slower afternoon.
Many visitors combine two or three. The Quad, Camel & Sandboarding half day puts them in an order that ends at sunset.
Questions before you set out
- Is pickup included, and from where?
- What time does the activity start in this season?
- What should you wear for quad or buggy rides?
- Can children take part?
Bring light clothes that cover your legs, closed shoes, sunglasses and a warm layer for after sunset.
