The View Agadir

You can explore the city in two days if you stay in Agadir itself, but it would be a shame not to discover the beauties of the region. How can you come to the capital of Souss without exploring the Paradise Valley, located just an hour away, to spend a day or at least half a day there? The same goes for Souss Massa National Park and other must-visit attractions. Plus, Agadir offers kilometers of beach, fine sand, and ocean waiting for you to relax and enjoy water sports. Therefore, a duration of five days seems ideal to have time to fully appreciate the beauty and pleasures of the city.

The city center is easily accessible on foot, as the topography is relatively flat. You can rent a car, with or without a driver, for your explorations of the hinterland. The hotel can assist you and/or guide you in the process. There is also an abundance of taxis available. For those who prefer two wheels, there are several bike and scooter rental options.

How Many Days to Visit Agadir? You can visit the city in two days if you stay in Agadir itself, but it would be a shame not to discover the beauties of the region. How can you come to the capital of Souss without discovering the Paradise Valley, located just an hour away, to spend a day or at least half a day? The same goes for the Souss Massa National Park as well as the other must-sees to visit. And then, Agadir has kilometers of beach, fine sand, and ocean waiting for you to relax and practice water sports. A duration of five days seems ideal to have time to enjoy the beauty and pleasures of the city.

The Cable Car Take advantage of the breathtaking views over Agadir Bay and its 5 km of golden sandy beaches flanked by mountains revealing the expanse of the argan tree groves. Its first line was inaugurated in the summer of 2022, and its departure station heads towards the Kasbah of Agadir Oufella. You can thus admire, over a distance of 1,700 linear meters, aerial views of the city, mountains, argan groves, the bay, and the Atlantic Ocean. Impressive!

Crocoparc 
This park will delight both young and old. You can observe over 300 Nile crocodiles in an environment carefully created to mimic their natural habitat, as well as giant tortoises, iguanas, and white-tufted marmosets. All within a botanical garden, or rather several richly appointed theme gardens with hundreds of species and varieties of exotic plants from all over the world.

Agadir Marina
Enjoy a pleasant seaside stroll in this must-visit spot. You'll find cafes, shops, restaurants, and of course boats and yachts moored at the marina. You can also rent a boat for a day or just a few hours.

Paradise Valley
Just thirty kilometers from the city of Agadir, Paradise Valley takes you to discover the beauty of the Gadiri hinterland. You will find natural pools in the form of rocky basins, numerous small waterfalls, and breathtaking landscapes. The waters of this magnificent valley are said to have therapeutic properties.

Souss Massa National Park
Located along the Moroccan Atlantic coast about sixty kilometers south of Agadir, the park covers 33,000 hectares of wetlands, unique in combining dunes, greenery, and water. At the mouth of the Massa River, numerous migratory birds can be observed since it is their breeding area. There are gulls, cormorants, herons, and even falcons. Saharan mammals also inhabit the park, such as gazelles, jackals, and wild boars.
 

The famous Agadir Oufella kasbah This is one of the most emblematic historical sites of the city, dating back to the 16th century and situated at the top of a mountain more than 236 meters above the sea. This fortress was built in 1540 under the reign of Mohamed Ech-Cheikh of the Saadian dynasty to counter the attacks of the Portuguese colonists. The earthquake of 1960 left only ruins, but restoration and rehabilitation works are underway to restore its former glory. The enclosure walls and the defense borj are already completed. The kasbah is once again open to the public who can enjoy the exceptional panoramic view of the bay, the city, and the hinterland.

Anza Beach and dinosaur footprints Anza Beach, just a few kilometers north of Agadir, is worth the detour and its name has gone around the world. It was in 2017 that the footprints, already noticed for years by the inhabitants, were officially identified by scientists as dinosaur footprints dating back 85 million years. Go hunt for traces of these prehistoric reptiles at low tide. For history, for culture, or just to relive the "Jurassic Park" spirit of our childhood!

Souk El Had This authentic traditional market is one of the largest souks in Morocco. You will find more than 6000 shops of spices, clothing, fruits, vegetables, fine leather goods, and much more. Its many treasures attract crowds of national and international visitors. You can purchase argan oil, buy souvenirs for your family and friends, or enjoy a delicious mint tea.

The Amazigh Heritage Municipal Museum This museum dedicated to the memory of the Berber heritage allows you to discover Amazigh culture in immersion. You will find more than 200 handcrafted masterpieces, including jewelry, clothing, and traditional rugs. You will also discover many traditional tools, typical works of regional architecture, and contemporary art exhibitions.

Coco Polizzi's Medina This is a somewhat special medina since it is located outside of Agadir, about fifteen minutes away, and is not the historic medina of the city. It is located a few kilometers from the city center and is more like a museum or an artistic creation. Indeed, it is the work of the Italian artist Coco Polizzi, who set out in the early 1990s to reconstruct the medina of Agadir that had been destroyed during the earthquake of 1960. He did so by respecting traditional construction techniques and architectural codes of the Souss Massa region. Result: the new medina immerses you in the magical atmosphere of an ancient medina. Perfect for finding handicraft products. Shuttles regularly travel there from Agadir. The hotel can provide information.
