The experience
Why this route works
This route connects three different moods of Morocco’s Atlantic side: the calm surf bay at Imsouane, the wind-shaped dunes and coastline around Timlaline, and the historic medina of Essaouira. It is paced as a road trip with scenic stops rather than a direct transfer between cities.
