Morocco West Coast - From Rabat to Agadir

Generally speaking, the scenery on the west coast of Morocco is unique and beautiful, especially the one from El Jadida to Essaouira, and the one from Essaouira to Agadir is slightly inferior. Along this coastline, there are both gentle sandy beaches for people to play and swim, and steep mountains covered with sharp green shrubs. Sometimes, desolate plains with bare red soil come into view, and sometimes, there are tender green vegetable fields that are carefully surrounded by reeds by farmers to block the raging dust... The scenery always changes back and forth between colorful colors and undulating terrain. We expected it to be amazing, but we didn’t expect it to be so enjoyable! Looking back, I saw a long road winding gracefully into the distance. Children riding donkeys were swaying back and forth, condensing into a small black dot at the end of the horizon. The sky was so blue that it seemed unreal! The white tower of the temple stands alone on the side of the cliff, and the ground is littered with broken wine bottle slag. It is hard to imagine that in such a Muslim country where religion is supreme, people's way of relieving sorrow or pleasing themselves is to drink heavily! At the bottom of the mountain, at the edge of the town, filthy, blackened tents were set up one after another, and waves like cloth were trying to submerge the houses in front of them. The market life that I had seen in old photos suddenly appeared before my eyes. I felt as if I had traveled back to 19th century Morocco and quickly pressed the button on my phone.
The further south you go, the more monotonous and sparse the vegetation becomes, but it still has its own style, "individuality creates beauty"! Around Agadir, you have arrived in a pure tourist world, a tourist's "paradise"!
