Enjoy an unforgettable sandboarding Marrakech experience with a full-day adventure to the sand dunes near Agadir, where golden dunes meet the Atlantic Ocean and natural landscapes feel truly otherworldly.


The journey begins with hotel pickup in Marrakech, followed by a scenic drive of around four hours through the Atlas Mountains, traditional Berber villages, and coastal scenery. Upon arrival at the Timlalin dunes area, you step into a unique desert environment unlike anywhere else in Morocco.


Before climbing to the top of the sand dunes for the sandboarding near Marrakech experience, you will walk through a natural Canyon located right in the heart of the dunes. This area, locally known as the “Timlalin,” features wind-carved rock formations shaped over time by nature. Its landscapes are often compared to famous sites in the United States such as Bryce Canyon and Monument Valley, making it a perfect spot for photos and exploration.


After passing through the valley, the adventure continues with a short orientation on sand surfing Marrakech, followed by climbing to the highest dunes to enjoy panoramic views before starting your sandboarding session. In this area, there is also the option to enjoy a camel ride, adding a traditional desert experience to the day.


Following the activity, the trip continues to the Banana Village, where a home-cooked Moroccan lunch awaits at a local house. Enjoy a traditional tajine prepared by locals before relaxing on the drive back to Marrakech, with arrival at your hotel or riad expected around 9:00 pm.


This sandboarding Marrakech day trip combines adventure, photography, and authentic landscapes for a truly memorable experience.
