Your tips and addresses for a trip in southern Morocco
Good evening,
my name is Marie Mathilde!
And it's Guelmim, not Guelmin. (People often get it wrong, you're not the only one)
From Tiznit via the expressway, which you'll take a few kilometers north of Tiznit, you're less than 1 hour 30 minutes from Guelmim. If you decide to follow the coast, it takes longer, of course, but it's lovely.
If I understood your request correctly, you're not sure whether you'll go to Guelmim this Friday or next Friday. Is that right?
Since you're leaving the region after Tighmert (which isn't on the coast but 70 or 80 km from the ocean), I recommend following the coast.
You could leave Tiznit the day after tomorrow. If you're not sure what to do in Tiznit tomorrow, head to the Youssef ben Tachfine dam, north of Tiznit. It's signposted. It's really beautiful. And then book by phone at Ferme Turtite for lunch or dinner.
Then Aglou, but there's not much to see, honestly. If you like it, the corniche and the beach—the campsite rents pretty nice chalets for around 50 €, I think, fully equipped.
At Nid d'Aigle, on the way to Mirleft, you can go paragliding. The site is great, and you can stay there.
Then there's Mirleft, a nice little town. There are plenty of accommodation options. Go to Casbah de l'Artiste at Ibrahim's for lunch, but book ahead. Head up to the fort (with a view of the town). Sidi Ifni is another pleasant little town. I think I already mentioned the Xanadoo guesthouse. At Foum Assaka, about 40 km from Sidi Ifni, you'll find Rayon Vert. You can enjoy sea urchins and grilled fish there. You can also stay overnight. The site is wonderful, and the welcome is warm. From there, you'll be at most 1 hour 30 minutes from Guelmim or Tighmert. In Guelmim, there aren't many restaurants, but Anwal de Rome, La Corbina, and La Balina offer good dishes. On Bir Anzaram Square, you can have roast chicken for lunch. But if you're in Guelmim on Friday, it's couscous day. I suggest you have it at Anwal de Rome.
There you go—you'll spend your week on lovely visits, stress-free, before heading to the souk around 5 or 6 PM on Friday. You'll see the huge hay loads on the trucks. Afterward, don't miss going back to the city center, to the post office or mosque square. The atmosphere will be lively, and have a glass of sugar cane-ginger-lemon juice at one of the stalls you can't miss.
Happy planning! Marie Mathilde.
