Animated and modern Agadir lives mainly due to tourism. And the city's appearance is quite different from the more traditional and historical Marrakech or Fez. The whole center of the city today is a continuous resort area, popular with Europeans. Accordingly, despite the religious canons, local residents are very tolerant. In Agadir, there are nightlife, and bars where alcoholic drinks are served, and, of course, a lot of restaurants and shops.

Agadir is a wonderful resort, but first of all it is a resort. There are no special attractions here; for them in Morocco you need to go to Fez, Marrakech or Rabat. The main charm of Agadir lies in the long canopy of fine sandy beach and excellent places for surfing. Although in order to slightly diversify your beach vacation, and here you can think of something.

It's worth to go to the market of El Ahad, located in the southeastern part of the city .This is a real Arabian bazaar, "bitches", besides the largest in the region .Even without the intention to buy something here you can have a great time, plunging into the colors and smells with a head; and only for bargaining with sellers and tea in a cafe, you can safely put in two or three hours .In the city there are several smaller bazaars, intended almost entirely for tourists, and the Central Market is not as colorful as El Ahad, but located quite close to the beach .

A couple of city museums can be a good entertainment on a cloudy day .The Bert Flint Museum is a branch of the museum of the same name in Marrakech and is located on Avenue Mohammed V .Here you can see items from the collection of the Dutch traveler, related to the Berber culture and art, including furniture, costumes, carpets and ornaments .Interesting and the Museum of Berbers, which exhibited about 200 exhibits, including carpets, ceramics and traditional ornaments of the 18-19th centuries .Also in the city there is the Museum of the history of the earthquake (on the Avenue of President Kennedy), in its exposition mainly photo materials are presented .A Medina Coco-Polizzi, a beautiful modern building in the traditional style, abounds with shops of artists and handicrafts .

One can look into the port of Agadir, one of the largest in this part of the world. In fact, in Agadir there are several ports, including commercial and fishing ports. Tourists are primarily interested in fish: go to the market near Port Avenue. The fish bought here can be fried for you right on the spot.

Finally, you can take a break from the heat in the small Bird Valley zoo. There are not too many animals and birds here, but there are enough avenues for walks among lush greenery, and there are pleasant places for rest and for children's games.

Those who are willing to rent a car and travel around the surrounding area can start from the Souss Massa River National Park .It is located 40 km from Agadir, and you can get there in principle and on public transport (bus number 97 from Avenue Mohammed V to the final stop of Inezgan, then by bus No. 42 to Massa, from there 4 km on foot to enter the park) .80 km from Agadir lies the city of Taroudann .This is worth a trip, if the plan for your visit to Morocco does not include such major historical cities as Marrakech .And about 60 km northeast of Agadir is Imuzzer with famous cascades .This is a traditional and very colorful Berber mountain village, which can be reached by steep hills through the oasis of the Paradise Valley .

And those who do not mind the time to see something really unusual, it is worth to get to the beach Legzira. It lies south of Agadir, in the town of Ifni, about 150 km and 2, 5 hours away by car. The very smooth shiny beach and quaint sandstone cliffs with caves and arches here are striking reddish-red. At dawn and at sunset in this place you can make breathtaking photos.
