Agadir

The holiday resort of Agadir has two main attractions: a splendid beach and a superb climate with over 300 sunny days a year.   As a modern city – the old one was destroyed by earthquake in 1960 – it has little obvious charm but it offers a wide choice of hotels catering mainly to northern European package tourists.  It is worth visiting the largest fishing port in the country, the new Medina and Souks and the reconstructed Portuguese hill top fortress with its magnififcent views over the bay of Agadir and the harbour as well as the recently constructed Marina.
