The Beach
Agadir’s top attraction is the six mile crescent shaped beach…soak up the sun, splash in the surf and enjoy! Speaking of surf, there are many places in Agadir that are well suited for surfing, a few examples are Devils rock, Imesouane bay and Ankhor point. If you are interested in learning to surf there are a number of schools and camps to help you get started.
Kasbah
Built in 1540, all that remains of the old Kasbah are the fortified walls…however, the trip up the hill to this historic site is worth it for the view alone. Engraved into the hill in Arabic are the words God, King and Country. The Moroccans are prohibited to speak anything bad about any of these three things. If you are interested in history you can easily find a professional guide here to take you on a tour.
Souk al-Had
Immerse yourself in the sights and sounds of Agadir’s walled souk and get ready to barter for your souvenirs! A "souk" is a term of a central, local market in an Arabic city selling spices, textiles and jewelry. If you take a taxi to the Souk al-Had you should ask for it by name, since some taxi drivers take you to their own personal souk. You recognize the real souk by its ochre wall and the numbered gates. Have fun.
Fishing Port
If you’re looking to taste the hustle and bustle of a typically Moroccan town, then head for the fishing port. A great place to wander around, take pictures and maybe buy your own fish that you can cook at home.
Medina d Agadir
Fascinating reconstruction of a typical Moroccan Berber village, built using traditional building techniques and local materials.
Museum Municipal Amazigh
This museum offers a fascinating insight into the culture and art of the Berbers, the original inhabitants of Morocco. You can see a collection of old Berber music instruments, carpets, architecture, pottery, jewelry and traditional clothing from the 18th and 19th century.
Port de Plaisance Marina
Don’t miss this beautiful marina located south of the commercial port, surrounded by shopping and new condos. This marina was made in 2008 and has supermarkets and fresh markets close by.
