This is one of the few historical remains reconstructed after the passage of the 1960 earthquake. This fortress constructed during the reign of King Mohammed Ech-Sheikh in the sixteenth century was once used to protect the city from invasions, a city that was then inside the ramparts. Today, more houses, one can only admire the walls, and the doors rebuilt identically. The 236-meter-high site also offers a beautiful view of the harbor and Agadir Bay.
The souk of Agadir is one of the largest in the Maghreb! Once inside, you will be simply dazzled by so many colors. Stalls overflowing with fruits and vegetables, pyramids of spices in red, yellow, and ocher hues, not to mention the local crafts: leather goods, carpets, wrought iron lamps, jewelry, leather … etc. As in most souks in Morocco, the price is not written, so you have to negotiate. It’s part of the local charm.
The fame of Agadir is mainly due to its superb waterfront bordered by a large crescent of sand. In addition to enjoying the beach and the sun, Agadir is also famous for its golf courses. Like any seaside resort that respects itself, it offers a beautiful array of water activities: sailing, surfing, paddle, jet-ski, windsurfing, water skiing … enough to make the most of sensations! The Marina is attended of course by tourists, but also by locals who like to come in the evening with family enjoy a walk to the cool, or sit in one of the many cafes and restaurants facing the ocean.
