Agadir - The Atlantic Resort — Beach, Argan Forests and a City Rebuilt

Agadir has in recent years become a destination for package holiday makers. It is not, in the conventional sense, a culturally rich destination. There is no historic medina — the 1960 earthquake destroyed the old city in fifteen seconds, killing twelve thousand people, and the city was rebuilt from scratch on a modern grid plan. There are no imperial monuments, no ancient souks, no labyrinthine lanes.

What Agadir has, and has in abundance, is ten kilometres of Atlantic beach, three hundred days of sunshine a year, a warm and reliable climate, an excellent harbour, and proximity to some of the most interesting landscapes in southern Morocco.

The Souss valley, the Anti-Atlas mountains, the argan forest, the Amazigh culture of the region around the city: all of these are accessible from Agadir, and all of them are worth the journey.
