Things to Do  

Kasbah

Kasbah, Agadir

 6 Reviews  Ruins of fortress that lies on a mountain above the city of Agadir. The word KASBAH is in arabic an means fortress. It was built in the 1500-century but was destroyed in the big earthquake in 1960. The wiew from here is amazing. 

Bird Valley

Bird Valley, Agadir

 5 Reviews  The Birds Valley or Vallée des Oiseaux is not only an aviary, but also a small zoo. This zoo with mouflons, lama's and monkeys is as zoo itself not really a very interesting and exciting 'must see', but the as a whole with the green ambiance and waterfall in the middle of the town makes it enjoyable... 

Beach

Beach, Agadir

 6 Reviews  Agadir has a very good beach. A wide and long strip of thin white sand, a regular and low surf, no hidden rocks, the only drawback was the persistent fog. Is it common, or just our bad luck? Anyway, we didn't complain, because staying in the beach was safer than under the burning sun. Sun tanning... 

Souq El-Had

Souq El-Had, Agadir

 3 Reviews  If you are a market addict like me, you may have a lot to explore at the stalls of the Souq al-Had. So I found at this marketstall boxes with all kind of different stuff from haberdashery, plastics, beans, stones to herbs (picture 1). Of many stuff I couldn't discover what it was, so there still are... 

Jardim de Olhao

Jardim de Olhao, Agadir

 4 Reviews  In the southwest corner of the Jardim de Olhao is a small museum dedicated to the earthquake of 1960. I red that some pictures of old Agadir are displayed here. To visit this museum on my way from the market to my hotel in Nouveau Talborjt was the motive to come to the Olhao Park. I found the gate... 

Amazighe Heritage Museum

Amazighe Heritage Museum, Agadir

 3 Reviews  At the groundflour of the Municipal Amazighe heritage museum is a hall for temporary exhibitions of contemporary art. During my visit in summer 2007 there was an exhibition of the work of a local artist named Rachid Fassih. I am always interested to see the art works of local artists, to look how... 

Camel Ride

Camel Ride, Agadir

 3 Reviews  Here you can ofcours ride a camel, at the top of Kasbahn. I´m not sure what the price is but I know for sure that you must agree about the price BEFORE you get on the camel otherwise the man who is leading the camel can take what price he wants.

Nightlife  

CLUB SALAMBBO: DANCE THE NIGHT AWAY

CLUB SALAMBBO: DANCE THE NIGHT AWAY, Agadir

 EASTHOPE Says:  In August 2011 I discovered Club Salambbo which is in Banana Village area opposite Fouquet Bar but much higher up. It is a European setting playing global pop music - a great disco experience.What I liked is that it was not overcrowded and it seemed to be a mix of tourists... 

Transportation  

rent a car

rent a car, Agadir

 angiebabe Says:  Advertises 300 dirham a day for up to 15 days and 250 for 15 days plus - thats an okay price but i think you could haggle to get the price down a bit more eg for more than a week try to get 250 a day.the advertised Moroccan made Dacia lagan is a car I found to be excellent...

Elixir D'Argane: Buying Argane - good place to buy or be massaged, Agadir

 angiebabe Says:  The world is progressively becoming aware of the special properties of omega rich Argane oil, and now becoming one of the worlds most expensive oils - for culinary, medicinal and cosmetic use. Grown only in Morocco, and particularly in appx 25,000 square km area around... 

Local Customs  

Soccer

Soccer, Agadir

 solopes Says:  The wide beach of Agadir, in the afternoon, looks like a series of soccer fields. Hundreds of youngster share the large space in a never ending animated competition. The wet sand is hard, making the games look more like the regular soccer than beach football. I think that... 

Warnings Or Dangers  

culture shock

culture shock, Agadir

 piosku67 Says:  I flew to Agadir in February 2009 and unsurprisingly heavy rains welcomed us though some days ago it had been quite sunny and warm. Be prepared for it, though if you are not fond of heat and love walking, biking, hiking or whatever it’s the best time for it. Before my stay... 

Tourist Traps  

The Souq al Had

The Souq al Had, Agadir

 cpindur4 Says:  Do not Go!!! Rude people, very aggressive . Good for a look only. don't stay to shop. Go instead to Municipal Market in town. Very nice shop keepers, better prices and better crafts. It is near Uniprix area.If you are looking to have a leather jacket made or to buy one, go... 

Touts in the beach

Touts in the beach, Agadir

 solopes Says:  In our first day in Agadir we were contacted in the beach by a nicely speaking guy, inviting us to a "superior" fish lunch in the authenticity of the harbour. We accepted, and went with him. Well, the ambiance was real, the lunch, served in very rustic conditions was... 

Off The Beaten Path  

Arriving in Agadir...sights to see out of town

Arriving in Agadir...sights to see out of town, Agadir

 angiebabe Says:  Glad you have chosen to go to Morocco for your trip in June. Agadir is a good base or a handy airport to fly into and then take off for other sights further afield. Being June its summer and getting pretty warm or rather hot in some places so having the beach will be...

Agadir in March

Agadir in March, Agadir

 angiebabe Says:  Hi, March is generally a very nice month - Agadir is generally warmer or milder than other places around that may still be a bit chilly. If the weather is sunny its generally warm to even hot - but can be variable and changeable so best to take layers and light but warm... 

Modernity

Modernity, Agadir

 solopes Says:  Agadir was destroyed by a violent earthquake almost 50 years ago. We can see some ruins of the old city, but Agadir is now a modern city. Thus, it is not a great place to see traditional Morocco, only one of the best Moroccan beaches. That's why we spent a week in the beach,...
