Sunsoar have been flying in Morocco for many years, taking advantage of the ideal winter flying climate.

The Location

The flat plain and warm air of this part of inland Morocco is ideal for easy soaring and generating big, easy to use thermals. Our prime flying site in this region is Agregour, a long 500m high ridge looking out over the flatlands. It is easy to top land here, with a big launch area. The area of lift can be huge, with loads of room for everyone- something that can be a problem in some locations. The recovery from the bottom landing is very direct and is mostly a tarmac road, so retrieves are no problem.

The site is about 45minutes from the bustling city of Marrakech where we are based, and so this location has everything you want for a memorable trip: great flying, interesting culture and nightlife and a chance to shop and sightsee as well.

The Holiday

This trip is perfect for those who are looking for some easy airtime and sunshine and to progress through the final tasks of the Club pilot syllabus or work towards their Pilot rating. We go to great lengths to help you get the most out of your trip, so apart from just guiding, we also include tailored instruction to progress through the tasks for your ratings, including theory sessions to prepare you for your CP or Pilot exams. Although we expect you have all your own kit, (except radios which are provided) we are happy to hire reserves or even gliders if required.
This trip is also very suitable for non-flyers, with plenty of opportunity for sightseeing and shopping or just chilling at the hotel, or of course non-flyers can come out to the site and watch the flying, where we have a tandem rig available for those who fancy a try.

Accommodation and Transport

The hotel is very comfortable and convenient for the city, and breakfast is included.
We usually eat out for evening meals in one of the many interesting restaurants in Marrakech. Our prices are based on 2 sharing a twin room, but single rooms are available for a modest supplement. (Please asks for details)
Airport transfers are short (30mins) and we also provide transport to and from the sites each days and retrieves from wherever you have landed back to launch. (Though if you go for a long open distance XC you might have to wait till the others have finished for the day before we can come and get you)!

Summary

A perfect holiday for pilots who are looking to gain some airtime and experience under the guidance of experienced instructors. This can be those looking to complete their Club Pilot tasks, or pilots who would like to progress through or finish their Pilot qualification. It is equally suitable for flyers who just fancy some airtime in the sun.

* 7 days is also an option if this suits you better
