With approximately 340 days of sunshine a year and six kilometres of soft white-sand beaches, Agadir is Morocco’s premiere beach resort. Nestled among the verdant valleys of the Great Souss and with the majestic Anti-Atlas mountain range rearing up behind it, this modern, cosmopolitan city has all the attendant pleasures, thrills and luxuries you could ask for.

Do & See

To get a taste of the hustle and bustle of old Agadir, head to the port, where you can watch fishermen bring in the daily catch, head out to the souk and do some haggling, or trek up to the remains of the 16th-century Kasbah and take in the spectacular sights of the bay.

Agadir Beach

Agadir’s top attraction is the 10-km crescent-shaped beach. There are many places in Agadir that are well suited for surfing, like Devil's Rock, Imsouane Bay and Anchor Point. If you are interested in learning to surf, there are a number of schools and camps to help you get started.

Kasbah of Agadir Oufella

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, Country and King; the Moroccans are forbidden from speaking ill of any of the three. If you are interested in history, you can easily find a professional guide to take you on a tour.

Cable Car — Téléphérique

Experience Agadir from above with its unique cable car, the only one in Morocco. Glide from the Tildi bridge to the historic Kasbah of Agadir Oufella, enjoying a 360-degree panorama of the city, sea and sky. With modern, wheelchair-friendly cabins, this 1,700-metre journey offers breathtaking views, especially as the Agadir sky's light reflects off the ocean.

Souk El Had

Immerse yourself in the sights and sounds of Agadir’s walled souk and get ready to haggle for souvenirs. This local market sells spices, textiles and jewellery, as well as delicious local food. If you take a taxi to the Souk al-Had do specify it by name, since some taxi drivers might instead take you to a different souk. You'll recognise the real souk by its ochre wall and the 12 gates.
