Les Omayades Agadir

We hit the big city of Agadir, it's a bit of a big hotel kinda of place. Big, sandy, crescent shaped beach which nobody was using at the time we were there. Eddie found a great room at a fantastic price, pool, restaurant, balcony all for 38 dollars a night. We found the towna bit quite, for example ...

... large sauna that I couldn't step out of. The dry air sucking moisture from my skin, my breath. This heat makes me feel a very primal energy, raw. I am in Africa. Roar." <br><br> I was sad to say goodbye to my life on the coast, but I had wonderful solo adventures on the road traveling in Morocco for 10 days when I left. I craved the mountains and cooler weather, so I hit the High Atlas ...

... center on the coast in a small fishing village called Taghazout. They offer yoga and surf retreats, as well as daily yoga classes. I led my first 8 day retreat here mid-May and it was wonderful: 14 beautiful souls I was able to share yoga with. And the setting was breathtaking, a yoga sala that was perched right above the sea. <br><br>Not only do I get to practice and teach yoga here, but I'm learning to ...

... The views are amazing and breathtaking. Photo worthy shots of the hotel's magnificent garden, the ocean, and the extravagant pool that guests enjoy during their stay at Sofitel Agadir are right outside your window. This Moroccan slice of heaven is just far enough away to enjoy a peaceful stay and only the sounds of the ocean waves crashing will fall upon your ears. Walk along the ...

... way I spent this day. Of course, I swam a lot... The Ocean is such a paradise... When you enter the water, it feels very cold, but as you enter farther, you got used to it and it feels normal. The Waves! They are really big, it's so fun to greet them with your body... Cool water brings a new kind of freshness to you... And then, when you go to the beach, the water becomes more and more warm, and closer to the beach it ...

... Green. Has the only real SPA in all Agadir. Has grand conference rooms. Has lots of restaurants, cafe's, Facilities. Really Impressed. Rooms are ok though, nothing unusual, just good. Here we stayed for a free lunch, which was great, Yummy=)))<br><br>Lunch is over, time to work again.<br><br>Adrar Agadir 3* - Awful pool, rooms are good.<br><br>Argana 4* - Pool is simple, rooms are okay. But the view from the window is awful. Though the hotel ...

... the front seat, plus the driver. Cheap but not very comfortable, though it ensures close contact to the locals. It was already late and after waiting a long time, I ended up buying three seats and off we went. It was pitch dark, nobody spoke a word and there I was in Morocco. One of the other passengers knew exactly where my hotel was but then he didn't, so I ended up gone way too far in a ...

As we walked away from the crime scene (bus) we surveyed the town of Tagazout. From first appearances it was quite dusty, not too large and had a very likeable character. As I picked up my bag I noticed that one of the handles was missing. No big deal considering I had an extra handle and some wheels with a seperate pullout handle. When we arrived at a hotel 50m from the bus station I decided to wait downstairs whilst Mitcho inspected the rooms ...

... coast to begin with and then we headed inland - stopping at an Argun oil making factory along the way. We saw how the nuts are shelled, then crushed then grinded into this brown sludge. The 4 ladies who were doing this broke into song and whistled, screamed and sung there way through something we could not understand but they were great.! We made it onto Essa just after 5 and checked into the Hotel Sahara then had a quick ...

"You see Dorothy, you're not in Kansas any longer". I'm not sure that's exactly how the quote goes but it seems appropriate here in southern Morocco. Everything that we had grown accustomed to in Europe, all the day to day consistencies like the euro, bankomats, breadshops that we take for granted are gone. Morocco moves by a different beat and although only 17miles from Europe across the straight of Gibraltar, it might as well be a thousand. The ...
