How to Get Here
Our nearest airport is Agadir Al Massira. There are frequent flights from both Heathrow and Gatwick and some of the cheaper, charter lines are beginning to cash in on flights to Morocco. There are numerous flights from various airports in France. You can get flights from Casablanca or Marrakesh and other African countries. If you intend to stay with us you can arrange to be picked up from the airport at a cost of 240 MAD (£15 or EU.22) if alone, or if there are others being picked up you can share the cost. 240 MAD is the taxi cost but if you arrive at odd hours they will try to charge more. Alternatively, you can bus it into Aourir by catching a bus outside the airport to Innezgane and then another to Agadir and another to Aourir. Rather clumsy, but cheap. Best alternative is to hire a car. Usually you can get one for around £10 a day (160 MAD or EU.14.50) and they will meet you at Al Massira.
If you are driving down it is easier if you can afford the ferry to Santander in Basque Country and drive straight over Spain to Algeciras. Allow two days if stopping at night. Then it is a speedy crossing on the hover-ferry from Algeciras (which is not too distant from Malaga) across to Ceuta, the small Spanish enclave on the North Western border of Morocco. Alternatively, you can get an older steam ferry over to Tangier, always worth a visit.
There is now a toll-paying motorway from Tangier to Al Jadida but once past Al Jedida the route becomes picturesque along a rugged coast with surf pounding on one side and lush agricultural fields on the other The fields slowly give way to rocky escarpments as you move south. The route through Fez from Ceuta is also picturesque. Fez is a beautiful city. Beware of the Moroccon taxis – usually large, old Mercedes - they really know how to drive! You will require one or two night-time stop-overs on the journey down through Morocco, or you may wish to divert to look at the Rif Mountains in the north, although, unlike the rest of Morocco, that area is reputed to be full of bandits! There are plenty of cheap stopping-off places on the way, campsites with motel-type rooms, etc. It is generally not advised to stop and camp on your own in an out of the way place, although many people do.
Charges & Currency Converter
We charge MAD 150 (13 Euros) per person per night. You may be sharing a room or get one on your own (each room has two singles or one double bed). If you require a double room it will cost MAD 300 (27 Euros) per night. This includes breakfast of your choice - English (minus the bacon but with a choice of other delicacies instead) or Moroccan, which is rather like a Continental breakfast but with a sweet peanut butter sauce called Amlow, local honeycomb and fresh butter, or argan oil if available, into which to dip your fresh, French bread. You may also have fresh-squeezed orange juice and coffee or mint tea.
