What makes Agadir special as a destination?
Agadir is Morocco's most popular beach resort and the sun guarantee of North Africa — with over 300 sunny days a year and a 9 km long sandy beach that stretches in a wide bay on the Atlantic. Completely rebuilt after the devastating earthquake of 1960, Agadir is a modern, open city that combines the charm of traditional Morocco with a beach holiday. The Corniche — Agadir's beach promenade — stretches for kilometers with cafés, restaurants, and hotels right on the golden sand. The beach is wide, flat, and family-friendly, and the water is pleasantly warm thanks to the Atlantic current — warmer than on the European Atlantic coast. The Kasbah — the old fortress on the hill above the city — is the only remnant of old Agadir and offers a spectacular panoramic view over the bay, especially at sunset. The Souk El Had — one of the largest markets in Morocco — offers everything from spices to argan oil to handmade jewelry on 12 hectares. Taghazout — 20 km to the north — is Morocco's surf mecca with perfect waves for beginners and advanced surfers. Paradise Valley — an oasis with natural pools and waterfalls in the Atlas Mountains — is a magical day trip. The argan oil cooperatives in the region showcase the traditional production of "liquid gold."
