The Kasbah (also known as Agadir Oufella, Upper Agadir, Agadir N'Ighir, or Agadir of the Hill) is a historic district of Agadir with winding streets and a lively atmosphere, and is considered the oldest part of the city.[1] The fortress was built in 1572 by Abdallah al-Ghalib and was used to protect the city from invaders. However, the kasbah built by Hamed ech-Cheikh in 1540 was reduced to ashes by the 1960 earthquake. In 15 seconds, several thousand people died, all buried under the rubble that remains today. The Kasbah of Agadir Oufella, meaning the upper granary, overlooks the city of Agadir and is located a few minutes from the city center. This was the site of the old city of Agadir, much of which was affected by the earthquake that struck the city.

The Mohammed V Mosque is the largest mosque in Agadir, located in the Talborjt district, at the intersection of Rue 29 Février and Avenue du Général Kettani. The mosque was built in the 1980s and named after the grandfather of the current King Mohammed VI. Unfortunately, access to the mosque is forbidden to non-Muslims, as is the case for most mosques in Morocco.

Agadir's decline began in 1760, when the Alaouite Sultan Sidi Mohammed ben Abdallah granted preeminence to the rival port of Essaouira, seeking to punish the Souss region, which had rebelled against his authority. This decline lasted for a century and a half.

Souk El Had in Agadir is a traditional market with a rich history. According to Culture Trip, the souk has been a hub of commerce in the region for over a century. Souk El Had has grown into one of the largest souks in Morocco, with over 6,000 shops spread across 13 hectares in the heart of Agadir. It's a popular destination for locals and tourists alike, who come to buy spices, furniture, clothing, and other goods. The market is also known for its high-quality argan oil and fine leather goods, which can be purchased at bargain prices. Despite its size, Souk El Had is relatively easy to navigate, with clear numbering and twelve gates leading into the market, according to Culture Trip. The market is a must-see during a stay in Agadir, as it's a vibrant and colorful place, according to Explore Agadir Souss Massa.
