Aglou
Aglou is a half-day beach stop from Tiznit or a one-night surf-and-sleep detour between Agadir and Sidi Ifni. Skip it if you want a full resort.
Aglou is a small fishing village on the South Atlantic Coast of Morocco, 10 min west of Tiznit. The beach (Aglou Plage) is a local escape from Tiznit's summer heat. There is a short strip of restaurants, a water park (Apr–Oct), paragliding and quad excursions. The village itself has little to see; the main draw is the beach and the sea caves you can rent for a very basic night.

Rules in force · 8Nine African countries on this site have no trip line bec…
- Africa ↗When a route touches a yellow-fever country — even a transit of 12 hours or more — keep the original yellow card (ICVP) in your hand luggage; health desks and airlines can refuse boarding or entry without it.
- Africa ↗Nine African countries on this site have no trip line because governments advise against travel; several others have no-go regions. Read your government's advice for every country on the route before paying deposits.
- North Africa ↗Plan links between North African countries by air or by ferry via Europe; the only regularly usable land borders for visitors are Tunisia–Algeria and Morocco–Mauritania via Western Sahara.
- North Africa ↗Book Saharan nights (dunes, desert camps, oasis tours) between October and April; from May to September desert day temperatures regularly exceed 40 °C and many tours stop.
- Morocco ↗Check entry rules for your passport with the Moroccan consulate or official government sources before booking; visa exemptions depend on nationality.
- Morocco ↗The Moroccan dirham is a closed currency: you normally obtain it on arrival (ATMs, exchange desks) and change leftovers back before departure, keeping exchange receipts.
- Morocco ↗Do not bring a drone without prior authorisation: drones are routinely confiscated at customs.
- Morocco ↗During Ramadan, do not eat, drink or smoke in the street in daylight; tourist restaurants and hotels still serve.
Entry rules depend on your passport. Full visa guide
