About Agadir
Agadir is Morocco's sunny Atlantic resort, with a long sandy bay, a palm-lined promenade and the High Atlas and the Souss Valley at its back.
The city's broad crescent of sand stretches for miles, backed by a seafront promenade lined with cafés and restaurants. Above it, the hilltop ruins of the old kasbah, Agadir Oufella, give sweeping views across the bay, with the national motto spelled out in giant Arabic letters on the slope beneath.
