Cheap Agadir Holidays and Deals

For the quintessential Moroccan experience, why not take a camel ride along the sands in Agadir? Local guides will explain more about the history of Agadir and the surrounding areas and keep your camera ready for great pics of the beach and city and the obligatory selfie with the camels!

If you're a sucker for sights, climb to the medieval hilltop fortress of Kasbah and soak up stunning views of Agadir and its golden coastline. Dating back to 1540, all that remains of Agadir's captivating castle today is its sturdy walls and entrance. Enjoy a stroll around the fortress' remnants and imagine the scene when Berber tribes roamed the terrain.

Agadir has a great resort vibe with all the rides, family friendly restaurants and entertainment you would expect of a classic Med resort. Agadir's main tourist spots overlook the beach and there is a charming promenade running along the seafront. The new marina has a stylish bar and restaurant scene while more traditional tavernas can be found in the town, just a stone's throw from the beach. During the day, the 9km beach is Agadir's most popular attraction but if you'd rather settle on more secluded sands, Sunset Beach and Palm Beach are less crowded and just as picturesque. Or head to the aptly named Kilometre 25 beach, for 25 kilometres of soft sand. Bliss!

Agadir's lively nightlife is another reason why this exotic, sun-soaked resort just keeps on getting more popular. The town boasts restaurants, clubs and bars perfect for friends and family. For a romantic evening of entertainment, Orange Cafe is situated in a quaint fountain courtyard complete with chilled Arabic electronica on the stereo. Experience an authentic Moroccan evening with sunken floors, cushioned seating and magnificent music along Boulevard du 20 Aout and Rue du Oued Souss or for a big night on the town check out Le So, Agadir's multi-storey club. Papa Guyos is another popular nightclub tucked inside Hotel Riu Tikida Beach, with after-midnight music from international DJs.

If you're a foodie you'll find lots of tasty treats in Agadir. For fresh seafood head to the city's biggest and best fish market in the port area where you can devour fresh BBQ fish while watching boats unload their catch of the day. If you're after more authentic food try Agadir's pastilla, a delicious pastry parcel made with fish or chicken before being dusted with icing sugar and baked until crispy and golden – perfect for snacking on when rummaging through the souks. Tagines are another deletable option and these clay pots are packed with flavoursome spices, succulent chicken or fish and pomegrante or apricots. If you're feeling thirsty, sip on traditional Moroccan mint tea and enjoy a sweet snack such as Kaab-el-ghzal, filled with gorgeously gooey almond paste.

No trip to Agadir is complete without a stroll around the souks. Agadir’s most impressive market is the Souk el Had, situated in a massive walled enclosure on Rue Chair al Hamra. You can find everything in this old market from fruits, vegetables and spices to clothes, shoes and souvenirs. The best days to visit are Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, when the souk tends to be a little less crowded.
