Agadir
Morocco's modern Atlantic resort city — gateway to the south
About Agadir
Agadir is southern Morocco's largest beach resort — 10 km of Atlantic sand, a cable-car-topped Kasbah on a hilltop above the marina, and 300+ days of sunshine a year. Rebuilt after a 1960 earthquake, the modern city centre is grid-laid, walkable, and built around the seafront promenade.
For travellers, Agadir works as both a relaxed beach base and a launchpad for excursions across the south: Sahara desert in 12h, Marrakech in 3h, Paradise Valley and Souss-Massa wildlife park in under 2h. Most international flights into the south land at Agadir Al Massira (AGA).

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the questions travellers ask us most.
How many days in Agadir is enough?
For Agadir city itself, 2–3 days covers the Kasbah, the souk, the beach, and the cable car. With day-trips factored in (Paradise Valley, Souss-Massa, sandboarding, Marrakech), 5–7 days is the sweet spot.
Is Agadir worth visiting?
Yes — but for different reasons than the imperial cities. Agadir isn't medina-and-history; it's beach-and-base-camp. If you want sun + day trips into the real Morocco, it's perfect. If you want medieval architecture, head to Marrakech or Fez.
Is Agadir safe?
Very. The Front de Mer (beachfront promenade) is patrolled day and night, the city is not part of the petty-crime hotspots of larger cities, and Souss-Massa region has a strong tourism-police presence. Standard travel sense applies.
