  • Between culture and traditions

    Travellers eager to find hidden gems will head to the El Had souk, the beating heart of local craftsmanship, where they will find carpets, pottery, spices and many other wonders. In July, the Timitar Festival takes place, an event not to be missed if you are staying in Agadir, where traditional Amazigh music is honoured. To learn more about Berber identity, visit the Amazigh Heritage Museum. For an authentic Berber experience, enjoy a traditional Berber massage with argan oil or a visit to the Moroccan hammam at Les Bains d'Agadir or the Argan Palace Spa.

  • From Golden Beaches to Rugged Mountains

    Agadir's beach stretches for 6 km of fine golden sand and is the perfect place for swimming, surfing or sunset strolls. Head to Paradise Valley, a green oasis with natural pools, palm trees and hiking trails, just 30 km from the city. Then, discover the Souss-Massa National Park, a nature reserve that stands out for its diverse geographical features. The spectacular landscapes of the Anti-Atlas and the authenticity of its Berber villages offer an immersion into a more secret and unspoilt Morocco.

  • A Fusion of Flavours

    A trip to Morocco means culinary discoveries, and Agadir is no exception! The city is full of places to sample local flavours, from gourmet restaurants to markets and food trucks to local tables d'hôte. You'll discover specialties such as fish tagine, grilled sardines, Harira soup and Amlou, a spread made from roasted almonds, honey and argan oil – a real treat! The region benefits from a mix of African, Berber, Mediterranean and French influences, resulting in exquisite flavours that can be found in its cuisine, a delicious journey for the taste buds!

  • Modern and Traditional Architecture

    Rebuilt after the 1960 earthquake, the city offers a unique look in Morocco: sleek and modern but punctuated with cultural and historical touches. Discover the Kasbah of Agadir Oufella, an ancient fortress overlooking the city, offering panoramic views of the bay and surrounding mountains. Travel back in time through the narrow streets of the Medina of Agadir, an architectural marvel! Visitors will find local craft workshops, souvenir shops, restaurants and a museum. Continue the city tour to the Wall of Remembrance, erected in tribute to the victims of the earthquake and offering a magnificent view of the city and the ocean.
