The Kasbah of Agadir Oufella is the most majestic site of the city. It is a fortress overlooking the city and the beach and is at a height of 236 meters.
The edifice was erected in 1540 by Mohammed Ech-Cheikh, a Moroccan Sultan belonging to the Saadian dynasty. After having conquered the city, he built these defences in order to protect from possible invasions, notably from the Portuguese.
The site was rebuilt in 1752 to increase the security of Agadir. After the earthquake of 1960, the fortifications were rebuilt in their old places and only the front door remained authentic.
During a visit, it is impossible to forget that this fortress contained the oldest district of Agadir, made up at the time of small alleys and carefree residents.
The place is ideal for admiring the city from all angles and seeing the sunsets.
Located at one end of the city’s large bay, the Agadir Marina, better known as the Marina d’Agadir, is the icon of luxury in the Moroccan capital. It’s one of the most popular places for tourists because it’s here that the boats and yachts of Morocco’s upper class are moored. They’re beautiful boats and most of them are very long vessels, which are displayed at their berths, among other things to be admired.
The Agadir Marina has 300 berths for boats up to 30 metres in length and is open all year round thanks to its favourable climate. It’s located on one of the main shipping routes, making it an ideal destination for boats to stop over or refuel, or for those who want to do some sightseeing in the city
Souk El Had is the biggest souk (market) in Morocco’s city of Agadir. A popular place with locals and tourists alike, here’s everything you need to know before setting off for a shopping extravaganza.
The layout of Souk El Had
A large souk with around 6,000 stalls, Souk El Had is surprisingly easy to navigate when compared with many sprawling souks around Morocco. Twelve gates lead into the souk, and clear numbering makes it easy to arrange a meeting point and get your bearings. The crowds and chaos can, however, make some people feel overwhelmed; if that is the case, just walk in one direction until you come to an outer gate. You can then walk around the outer walls to get to where you want to be, or catch a taxi if you don’t want to walk. The stalls are grouped in a fairly well-organised manner, meaning that you can head straight to a particular gate if there are certain items you’re interested in buying .
