Sun, sea and sand, with the stunning backdrop of the impressive High Atlas Mountains, perfectly frames this exciting holiday destination loved by people everywhere, as well as Moroccans themselves. Welcome to exciting Agadir!
Agadir , meaning “fortress” or “citadel” in the Berber (Amazigh) language, has become a main tourist area due to its all-year-round temperate climate. Over the years, it has developed into a modern resort town with all the conveniences and luxuries you can expect and where many languages are spoken, along with Tashelheit (Berber), Moroccan Arabic and French. It has its own international airport, Agadir Al-Massira International.
Agadir has the blessing of one long and glorious beach that is definitely one of its main attractions. It’s well looked after and clean, and, in the summer months, lifeguards are on duty. Strong currents make swimming in the sea inadvisable, but all the hotel offer large pools. However, you can do some water sports, like jet-skiing, or take a horse or even camel ride along the beach.
The stalls in Agadir’s biggest, locally popular souk (market) are a riot of colours, sounds, sights, goods and food. You can pick up an ornate Moroccan lamp, as well as some beautiful fabric, pungent spices to add Moroccan flavours to your meals back home. All you need do is haggle — and here are our tips for doing just that.
This is a traditional Berber (Amazigh) area near the centre of Agadir, built after an earthquake destroyed the original. Wander around the walled streets and view the wonderfully recreated local architecture and shops where people make jewellery, wood and stone carvings, items from metal and much more. Stop to eat or have a refreshing drink at one of the cafes or restaurants along the way.
Some activities include visiting Agadir Birds Valley; a zoo and an aviary, a spin on the La Grande Roue Ferris Wheel at the beach, visit the Museum of Amazigh Culture, to learn all about the Berber Amazigh traditions and history on which this great land was built. At the end of an amazing day in Agadir, take a stroll along the tranquil seafront promenade — the perfect way to wind down in Morocco’s most famous seaside resort.
