Agadir, located on Morocco's southern Atlantic coast, is a popular sunshine destination known for its beautiful beaches, modern amenities, and local culture.

If you like the sound of holidays to Agadir, here are some of the top things to do on your Morocco holidays.

Beaches and Water Activities

Agadir beach is wide and sandy, and one of Morocco’s top stretches of coast. This long sandy beach is perfect for sunbathing, swimming, and water sports and the year-round mild climate also makes it a great place to relax and recharge.

Even if you're not a surfer, heading to the nearby resort of Taghazout is worthwhile, especially if you are looking for a place to relax and enjoy some sunshine with a picturesque ocean view.

A breathtaking oasis nestled in the High Atlas Mountains, Paradise Valley is a haven renowned for its stunning natural beauty embodied in lush greenery, cascading waterfalls and crystal-clear natural pools.

Historical Sites

Kasbah of Agadir Oufella is an ancient fortress that is well worth a visit. The ruins of the old city of Agadir sit right on top of a hill and overlook the modern-day resort. Although the 1960 earthquake destroyed most of it, this site offers a glimpse into Agadir's history.

At La Médina d'Agadir, the entry fee is affordable, and you get a cup of the best Moroccan mint tea here which you can sip whilst taking in the beautiful architectural layout and style of the Medina. You will end up spending half of your day here relaxing. A perfect way to spend your time on Agadir holidays. 

Markets and Shopping

Souk El Had is a world-famous bazaar with colours and scents to grab everyone’s attention. You will find all kinds of things here from the most modern to the spectacular handmade pieces. You will also find famous fresh vegetables and fruits available to buy too. 

Marina Agadir is a modern marina area with shops, cafes, and restaurants, perfect for a lazy stroll and relaxed shopping.

Activities and Entertainment

With a load of golf courses to hand, you can take a break from the beach and play a round of golf.

If you want to be a little more active, horseback riding and camel rides are available. Take an evening tour from Agadir to Taghazout, ride a camel to the incredible Souss Massa of Agadir and breathe in the incredible views. You can then enjoy a hotel transfer and drink some delicious Moroccan tea.

Day Trips

For a slower and more easy-going vibe, you can head to Essaouira. This coastal city is known for its historic medina with fortified walls and arty vibes. 

Elsewhere, often called mini-Marrakech, Taroudant offers visitors a more authentic experience of everyday Moroccan life and a relaxed haven for first-time Moroccan visitors.
