interesting tracks near Agadir
Hi,Can anyone recommend interesting roads or tracks near Agadir? I'm in an expedition motorhome and I'd I'd like to feel I had been somewhere adventurous. Perhaps near the cascades at Imouzzer-des-Ida-Outanane? (Ground clearance is superb, maneuverability rather poor)

Go south one hour to the coast and visit the Sous Massa national park where you can drive offroad with ostriches and gazelles, along the beach as far north as Tifnit, a very picturesque fishing village.

Thanks Priffe. I might try that too when I'm over next week, if they will also let in motorbikes.

Bikes, cars, trucks, you can all go. Camping is not allowed on the beach but people do it anyway (I wouldn't, wild dogs and not really secure. Watch out for high tide).
I think there is a sign for Massa and perhaps Sidi R'bat from the N1. .
The best part of the park is the estuary where the Massa meets the ocean. From here you can drive north over the dunes.
This is also the best birding spot in Morocco, flamingoes, the elsewhere nearly extinct bald ibis and a multitude of rare birds nest and rest here.

Clearer map of Souss Massa plus photos at A23 Souss Massa Park

For a route through the western High Atlas to the cascades at Imouzzer des Ida Outanane, take the coast road north from Agadir and after about 30km turn east at N30 36.329 W9 46.684 on a tarmac road heading for Arhoud village. Basically follow your nose. The tarmac becomes a piste, it climbs to over 1300m, there's a difficult stretch for motorbikes a couple of km past N30 37.414 W9 33.679 but should be easier for 4-wheel-drive vehicles.

We drove the Sous Massa national park in January this year. We camped with no worries and there were a good few big trucks doing the same all along the coast. The sea way pretty rough and we got to see the blow holes where the sea hits the rock. A magical place.
