Agadir With over 340 days of sunshine a year, it is no wonder that Agadir, situated on the southern part of the Morocco's Atlantic coastline, has become the country's number one tourist centre. Some complain that Agadir is too modern and has become too commercial, but in a country full of exotic flavour it is a pleasant place to put your feet up and enjoy the comforts and services of a Western-style tourist resort. The beach, together with the weather, forms the main attraction for thousands of sun worshippers, who come especially in the winter months to escape the cold and gloom of northern Europe. Around this, a resort town with restaurants, bars, cafés, modern, comfortable hotels and a broad offer of water sports has developed.
Agadir is a good place to make daytrips from to nearby highlights including the old walled city of Taroudannt, Paradise valley and the Massa Lagoon. |

The town has a handful of sights - there's a mini train tour through town, the ruins of the old Kasbah, the market and the new fishing port. But a week here is definitely enough!!

Agadir, Morocco Holiday Review - Go for the Beach!

Only go to Agadir if you want to spend the majority of your time at the beach because that is one thing that is really good there. There are a few attractions in terms of things to do but there is not much of nightlife so you will have to make do with the entertainment provided by the Hotels which is not as bad as it sounds but don’t expect a vibrant party atmosphere.

Agadir, Morocco Holiday Review - A nice enough hotel.
Submitted by: Betty
Date of travel: 01-May-2006
Stayed in the Amadil Beach Hotel was ok for the price we paid but I’m not sure I’d go back. It’s located on the beachfront, approximately 10 minutes walk from the main strip. The ‘old’ Agadir was destroyed in an earthquake in 1960 and there’s literally nothing left. However, if you like a beach-based holiday then you won’t be disappointed plus there are plenty of water sports on offer.
