Paradise Valley is situated 20 kilometres North of Agadir. As the name suggests, a true paradise.

This desert city right above the Sahara is a must visit whenever you find yourself in Morocco. Not only does it have this charming dusty desert vibe, the journey to get there is worth your while as well.

Right after the Tizi n Tichka pass, on the road from Marrakech to Ouarzazate, you’ll find the renovated Berber house Dar Isselday owned by Kamal and Fatima Yakoubi.

This roadtrip through the Middle and High Atlas, from Tahla and Taza via Azrou to Aït Bouguemez is less travelled but strongly recommended. Not that much tourists and lots of hospitality.
