I've been lucky enough to fly with Toby in lots of places, including several times in Morocco. This video is a true reflection of the variety and beauty of Morocco, as well as the excellent flying to be had at a time when Europe is in hibernation. If you want to spend your evenings learning about polar curves or speed to fly you will not find anyone better able or more qualified to explain it nor more keen to do so. Or you can drink beer which is fun too! Passion Paragliding is very well named and thoroughly recommended.

Many thanks for the kind words Chris!!!

A few observations for flying in Morocco, when XC beckons, make sure you know the air space, especially regarding the XC trips to the lake and back. One of the guides for the area is currently loading up the air space data for your vario and should be available soon. Chances are really good that if you do make it as far as the lake in front of Aguergour, you will have violated the air space of the Marrakech airport. The trees or the camel ranch are a good indicator that you have gone too far. If you doubt this, check with the local guides and especially those connected to the local board that makes the rules for paragliding in the area. Second: walk the LZ you intend to use, they have some wicked sticker bushes there that will tangle your lines terribly. They also have some cacti in Legzera that are really wicked also. Leave yourself plenty of room for landing as it can be rather buoyant on warm days extending that nice glide you intended. Commonly used LZ below Aguergour, has power lines running across the path if you find yourself being popped up. Other than these precautions, you will find it a very enjoyable experience to Fly Morocco.

Thanks for a really great video!

Excellent video Toby.

Great video and guide, thank you!

Beautiful place! Hope to fly there someday!!

Awesome Video. You make me thinking of going there one day.

Great Work :) Love Morocco Paragliding

Great summary and guide. Could have added more of the same in-depth (hazards) info to eagle’s nest and legzira as with the first two. I‘ve personally been flying three sites in December 2019 and loved it!

Brilliant, nice one

great video, high quality descriptions, excatly what I was looking for, as I am planning a trip to Morocco soon with my family and might take my gliding kit along. I am still in the process of getting my license, but maybe I can fly under supervision of a teacher while I am there. ANy recommendations?

Nice video and guide! A beautiful site missing in this video is Plague Blanche: 30km long sand dunes at the ocean.

That's what happened to me! ...once!! I've been there many times. Lucky is the key! :) There's actually loads of sites missing. Air Ourir and Ait Barka, Tiz N Test, plenty of sites near Tafraoute (my favourite town in Morocco) We only really covered the "famous" sites in this video.

Hi , Great video ! I’m planning a hike and fly trip can you recommend sites best suited to mini wings . Thanks 🙏

Nice guide :)) So nice, i want to go there flying too. You have maps or coordinates of the start and landing places ?

hi thank you for this video, is there any RASP available for Morocco do you know? or what's the best way of predicting weather there

hello bro im Omar from lebanon i fly just Acro so its possible to get minimum 500Mtr without thermal? their?tx for replay

Thanks Stefano. Insurance is a minefield. Of course insurance usually depends on your country of residence

Australian pilot I will be in Portugal next year, so giving some thought to going to Morocco in September. I am usually a solo traveler and not that keen on flying with large groups . Is it easy to get a guide or drive to some of these places? Is it safe? Generally, I prefer coastal flying but don't mind the odd day thermic. Are there other really nice coastal flying sites further north that are easy to access?

I am thinking of a ten day holiday with my paraglider in March 2023 at Agadir. I am having trouble finding results on how to get to the closest paragliding sites to there. Is there any source for information on how to get to the sites or possibly even staying there instead of Agadir. I only seem to be able to find info on the bigger urban areas. Thanks

Pakita ❤️

Hi there, a question for you, I should be in morocco from the 28th to the 8th of December where is best to fly?

How could you bring your radio to this paradise? :) Last time mine and fellow traveller were taken at Agadir airport. We got them back though at departure from Morocco.

There are ways to avoid this. Antenna off and on your person. Radion is then very difficult to spot on the Xray

I have been to Nigel´s this year, beautiful place. Next year we want to go to Aguergour, M`Zouda und Aglou too. Do we need a special permission to fly there? By the way, this is probably the best video about flying sites I have seen! :)

Come to the Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 you can fly all over the year

hey nice video but it seems that in the map at 1:04 and 9:10, it doesn't show the complete version of the Moroccan territory. i'm gonna assume that you didn't do it on purpose, someone who saw the Moroccan beauty for 20years from its sky won't deny it's Saharas existence, correct me if i'm wrong but that had to be cleared.

the moroccan maps and territory its from tanger to Lagouira

1:05 min Why is the map of Morocco truncated? Where is the Moroccan Sahara? You touch our territorial integrity, and this touches the feelings of the Moroccans. I advise you not to adopt the Google map, but rather the map of Morocco as a whole. Try to visit Dakhla and laayoune in the Sahara will dazzle with their beauty.

Hello you are welcome to morocco but you make a big mistake to show the maps of my country divided ,it's disrespect for all Moroccan people .i hope you can corrected

All is good except the map of morroco 🤔!!!

Looks fun and it's a beautiful place but I'm too chicken to go to some 3rd world Muslim country. Morocco is where those Danish and Norwegian girls were beheaded. That's just asking for trouble. Plus if you ever get injured with their health care personnel, infrastructure and equipment shortages medical treatment is a gamble. There's a good chance they won't be able to do anything except let you lay there and die or try to ship you hundreds of miles over less than adequate roads to a more capable facility that won't be as capable as it's made out to be..

Attention a la carte du Maroc !!!elle n'est pas la bonne , le sahara est marocain
