One of the beautiful attractions in Agadir are the series of forts perched on the hill, known as Kasbah, built during the first half of the 16th century. This medieval Arabic fortification survived an earthquake and still remains glorious. To get to the top is a challenging hike, especially around the hottest months of the year, but you can alway take a taxi and then walk all the way back down. From the top of the hill you will get mesmerising views of the city.

The hammam plays an important role in Moroccan culture. The steam room is where you clean yourself. This practice of cleansing and relaxation became very popular during the Victorian era and it also was a fun way to come together and socialise. In Agadir you can find several to go to and Argan Palace is a recommended one.

Another important part of Moroccan lifestyle are the souks. Souks are a cultural element of Moroccan society and in Agadir, there is Souk El Had. See the locals doing their daily shopping and choosing the fruits and veggies. You can buy local produce and fresh ingredients for your homemade recipes in your villa’s kitchen!

Outside the city centre of Agadir there is a recreation of Agadir’s former medina. The original one was completely wrecked by the earthquake so in the early 1990s they built this life-size structure with Berber techniques that you can now admire and get an idea of what it was like back then.

South of Agadir there is the Souss Massa National Park. This sprawling area, created in 1991, comprises wetlands and sand dunes and it is home to exotic birds and it is one of the only places where you can see the northern bald ibis. To visit the park you can choose from several guided routes.

The restaurants and eateries abound in Agadir and you can choose from Chinese to Thai, Korean, Mexican, European and Moroccan cuisine. Some of the favourite dishes you can taste are harira and pastilla. Harira is a soup with pulses, cinnamon and coriander. Pastilla contains chicken, spices and almonds wrapped in a parcel or filo pastry. For pudding you can try any sweet made of their delicious dates and take sips of the typical mint tea to wash it all down.

The Memoire d’Agadir is a small museum a few steps from the beach, nestled in a lovely garden with palms and cacti. The interior walls are covered with photos and newspapers telling the history of the city, including the earthquake in the 1960s.
