Agadir

Article by Abdo

Agadir is a beautiful destinations because of its 365 sunny days and its beautiful becahes , its also because of beautiful apartments and hotels surrounding by the beach :mountains and coastline certainly make up for the disorderly layout of the city. Agadir is situated on the southern coastline of Morocco, and receives a relatively large number of tourists per annum, which is why there are plenty of Agadir hotels too.

For international travellers, getting into the city largely depends on where people are travelling from. For example, most European cities offer flights between themselves and Agadir International Airport. However, some United Kingdom cities and intercontinental cities do not have direct flights to the city of Agadir. However, the Moroccan domestic air services, not to mention its roads and railway networks are also improving each year. Therefore, flying into Casablanca first is always another possibility.

Once visitors arrive, there are a number attractions and activities worth visiting. The problem is most visitors underestimate the holiday potential that Agadir offers. By following the list below, visitors should have a better understanding of Agadir’s tourism value, and plan accordingly.

1. Souq al-Had is a market place that is located to the southeast of Agadir’s central district. It is a truly magical place that displays genuine Moroccan culture, and shouldn’t be discounted as a possible tourist spot. Visitors can purchase vegetables, fruits, clothing, handicrafts and more.

2. Vallee des Oiseaux is a play area and children’s theme park that is found built upon a dried up river bed. The landmark is popular for families, as it contains a shaded adventure playground for children and a zoo (albeit it a small one!).

3. Palm Beach is one of the private beaches located along the crescent bay of Agadir. It is a great place if visitors want to come for a relaxing time, as most of the hectic chaos that surrounds Agadir’s beaches is found at the main beach area up north.

4. In addition to Palm Beach, another of the private beaches is Sunset Beach. Oh yes, and it is aptly named for providing stunning views of the sunset as the sun fades behind the Atlantic Ocean. Restaurants and really blue water are what await tourists at Sunset Beach.

5. Getting away from the beaches, tourists can find solace at the famed Medina D’agadir, which was created by an Moroccan-born Italian-raised architect by the name of Coco Polizzi. Here, visitors will be able to see plenty of artisans at work. Hungry visitors can eat at the local restaurant too.

6. The city was ravaged by an earthquake in the year of 1960, which left most of the buildings shattered and many people dead. Today, reminders of this earthquake can be seen in the Earthquake Museum, which is also known as Memoire D’agadir.

7. Visitors should also take some time from their holiday to explore the ruins of Agadir’s Kasbah, which is only a few kilometres from the city. It is great for tourists that enjoy the history of Agadir to see the Kasbah area.

8. The Museum of Patrimoine Amazigh is a wonderful attraction that will delight customers. Based on the culture of the Berbers, this museum is a small but informative place that is perfect for all types of travellers to enjoy.

9. Once all the above have been experienced, visitors are encouraged to pop down to the port area of Agadir. For a real taste of Moroccan culture, there is no better place to visit.

10. Finally, several must visit places are the bath houses of Agadir. They are really magnificent when it comes to relaxing, and should be on top of any tourists Agadir highlights.
