Situated in the southwestern part of Morocco, the town of Agadir is a smallish town that was built on agriculture. Today, it relies on agriculture, commercial industries, and tourism to support its city growth. It is an amazing beach resort town that pulls in a large number of tourists each year.
With the large number of tourists, it is essential that Agadir hotels are convenient and comfortable for guests. However, visitors will only be spending a small amount of time inside their hotels, as the city of Agadir is filled with an amazing array of activities and attractions to keep visitors busy during their holiday.
Getting into the city from Europe is best achieved via air travel, as the international airport that serves the city is efficient. Most major cities offer routes to Agadir. However, domestic flights from other Moroccan cities, and train or bus transportation are also popular ways to reach the city of Agadir.
The following paragraphs outline some of the specific attractions located in the city, allowing visitors to get a better understanding of what type of destination Agadir truly is.
Kasbah – the local Kasbah is situated about seven kilometres from the central part of town. Despite the fact that Agadir is famous for its beaches, it is also evident through the Kasbah that there are other popular attractions around. It sits in ruins, but will totally enchant visitors with its mystique beauty. It is only a short distance from the local Medina.
Medina – the Medina D'agadir is a remarkable medina built in modern techniques. However, it is still a fabulous place to visit. There are plenty of artisans offering their skills at the medina, and there is a restaurant available for hungry tourists. The medina is only located four kilometres to the south of the city area, and is constantly being visited by tourists.
Memoire D'agadir – also known as the Earthquake Museum, this small establishment is a gentle reminder of the horror Agadir lived through during the 1960 earthquake which destroyed most of the town. It is only a short drive from the heart of town, and should not be missed, as there is plenty of interesting artifacts and displays inside the museum.
Sunset Beach – for a more relaxed attraction, nothing beats Sunset Beach. It is located just to the north of another of the famous private beaches, and is generally more leisurely than Agadir's main beach, which is also not too far from Sunset Beach.
Palm Beach – Palm Beach is located just to the south of Sunset Beach, and also provides a remarkable setting for just lazing about and enjoying the sunshine. There are many more people to be found at the main beach, but at least visitors will be able to stay entertained at the private beaches with kids play areas and restaurants.
Museum of Patrimoine Amazigh – this small museum is perfect for allowing visitors to learn more about the Berber culture. There are several interesting exhibits here, and visitors can certainly spend an hour or more roaming the halls of Museum of Patrimoine Amazigh.
Port – In addition to the above sites, visitors should not be missing a chance to explore the port area. Here, Morocco's magic culture is certainly on display for all to see and embrace. Definitely a site to see especially for the culturally and historically enthusiastic traveler.
Vallee des Oiseaux – visitors with children, although many tourists to the area are usually couples, shouldn't miss travelling to this site, which is actually located inside an old river bed. Here, the Vallee des Oiseaux boasts a small petting zoo, children's play area and places to eat.
