The Gastronomy

Located on Morocco’s southern Atlantic coast, Agadir is a popular tourist destination known for its warm climate, golden sand beaches, and modern infrastructure.

With over 300 days of sunshine a year, it’s the perfect place for sun-seekers and beach lovers.  

The city is famous for its wide crescent-shaped bay, lined with palm trees, hotels, and a lively beachfront promenade.

Visitors can enjoy water sports, camel rides, or simply relax under the sun. Agadir is also an excellent base for excursions to the nearby Atlas Mountains, desert landscapes, and traditional Berber villages.  

Agadir’s modern city layout is a result of its complete reconstruction following the 1960 earthquake.

Today, it offers a blend of contemporary architecture, spacious avenues, and well-developed tourism services. The city is home to a large marina, a modern souk (market), and cultural attractions such as the Amazigh Heritage Museum and the ruins of the old Kasbah overlooking the city.  

Agadir also boasts a thriving culinary scene, combining Moroccan flavors with international cuisine. From fresh seafood to traditional tagines, food lovers will find plenty of options to enjoy.  

Easily accessible by air through Al Massira International Airport and by road from other major Moroccan cities, Agadir is a safe and welcoming destination for families, couples, and solo travelers alike.
