Agadir

Activities

Part of the old culture still remains in Agadir since the rebuild and this is most evident in the busy medina just south of the resort centre. Locals selling crafts, food, spices and traditional Moroccan goods create the humdrum of activity. It's also a great place to dine after a spot of shopping.

Of course the beach is perfect  and with all the sunshine on offer, water sports galore and sunbathing with a refreshment in hand is hugely popular as part of a family break here. Evening time and the area comes alive with locals and tourists making the most of the charming atmosphere.  Open-air restaurants selling traditional Moroccan cuisine and plentiful worldwide delights soon fill up as tourists are welcomed in, little stalls present their wares and all under a blanket of twinkling stars. The marina is a great vantage point for the stunning sunset too, a sight not to be missed.

Agadir does present Bird Valley- an open-air ornithological museum which should keep the children entertained away from the beach, but for an abundance of history or tradition then it is recommended  that visitors take day trips to Marrakech, a 3 hour drive away. Closer to home there are plenty of golfing options on one of the world-class courses, and the opportunity to travel the sand dunes either by camel or horse-back, or even on a quad bike.
