Sidi Ifni

Give Sidi Ifni 1–2 days: Art Deco walk, beach and cliff restaurants, Sunday souk. Reach it by CTM or Supratours bus, or by car via Aglou.

Sidi Ifni is a small, calm fishing town on Morocco's Anti Atlas coast, built in Spanish Art Deco style and still short on tourists. The interesting quarter is walkable, so half a day covers the architecture and the beach, and a full day adds the Sunday souk and a cliff-side meal. Come for quiet, not for sights.

Rules in force · 8Nine African countries on this site have no trip line bec…
  • Africa ↗When a route touches a yellow-fever country — even a transit of 12 hours or more — keep the original yellow card (ICVP) in your hand luggage; health desks and airlines can refuse boarding or entry without it.
  • Africa ↗Nine African countries on this site have no trip line because governments advise against travel; several others have no-go regions. Read your government's advice for every country on the route before paying deposits.
  • North Africa ↗Plan links between North African countries by air or by ferry via Europe; the only regularly usable land borders for visitors are Tunisia–Algeria and Morocco–Mauritania via Western Sahara.
  • North Africa ↗Book Saharan nights (dunes, desert camps, oasis tours) between October and April; from May to September desert day temperatures regularly exceed 40 °C and many tours stop.
  • Morocco ↗Check entry rules for your passport with the Moroccan consulate or official government sources before booking; visa exemptions depend on nationality.
  • Morocco ↗The Moroccan dirham is a closed currency: you normally obtain it on arrival (ATMs, exchange desks) and change leftovers back before departure, keeping exchange receipts.
  • Morocco ↗Do not bring a drone without prior authorisation: drones are routinely confiscated at customs.
  • Morocco ↗During Ramadan, do not eat, drink or smoke in the street in daylight; tourist restaurants and hotels still serve.
