Berättelsen

Agadir introduces the story through Souss food culture; Akhfennir deepens it with wind-shaped Atlantic cliff town north of Tarfaya; Foum El Oued carries it to a close through Atlantic estuary.

Before Smara, day 1 separates Souss food culture in Agadir; Smara shapes day 4 ahead of Agadir through Smara's zaouia; by day 7 toward Agadir, Akhfennir brings in wind-shaped Atlantic cliff town north of Tarfaya. Before Agadir, day 8 belongs to Khnifiss Lagoon RN1 Access and the final unpaved access; Foum El Oued uses day 12 before Agadir for Atlantic estuary.

The change of register comes through Naila lagoon landscape in Akhfennir after fishing-port economy in Agadir; across Souss-Massa, Guelmim-Oued Noun, and Laâyoune-Sakia El Hamra, the travel sequence uses specialist desert-track travel and road-network stages, and the cadence leaves city and landscape around each table.

Treat Agadir to Tiznit as the first live decision: confirm track conditions between Foum El Oued and Agadir and locally arranged desert transport and dated road conditions at Akhfennir and network timings; keep the approach to Foum El Oued adjustable.
