| Agadir Travel Guide Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see Morrocan Herbs & Spices Morrocan Herbs & Spices James Watson Agadir has a very beautiful beach, however it tends to attract the wrong kind of tourism. As the result of an earthquake in 1960, Agadir is a completely modern city, which reminded me of towns in Northern Germany. It is also permanently full of tourists, especially German tourists. It does have excellent luxury hotels, where activities are organized and there is some form of night-life. In addition, there are some beautiful golf courses. But if you are searching for the real moroccan atmosphere or examples of traditional architecture, Agadir is not a good place to spend much time. It does represent a useful transport hub and an easy point of access if your coming by plane. Cheap flights from Europe often go to Agadir. Furthermore 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 Market of Agadir is worth a visit. ____________Sights Edit This i Agadir has lost most of its sights, but a few remain. They are mostly crowded with the beach people who want to do something cultural on that particular morning, but they do give you some insight in Morocco. If you are not going inland you should at least visit them. If you are, you can just as well skip them. [Add Sight] Kasbah Edit This The Kasbah is a bit out of the center, about 9 km. The sight from the Kasbah over the coast is great. The construction itself is not grand. It has an inscription in Dutch, saying that the Netherlands founded a trading post here in 1746. samir: An excellent view of Agadir and Anza . A historic site for all tourists , and is a must see for everyone . A reminder of old Agadir but not much is left . The view alone is worth the trip . type: Hotspots World66 rating: [rate it] Marche Municipal Edit This In the center, between the Av. des FAr and Av. Sifi Mohammed, this is the major market. Not very cheap, but nice to stroll around. A bit touristy. type: general World66 rating: [rate it] Souq Edit This Rue ben Brahim. A walled market place with many shops and better prices than the Marche Municipal. type: Hotspots World66 rating: [rate it] Fishing Port Edit This The fishing port is worth a visit. Bets time to come is at dusk when the boats return. You can buy cheap fish, which they will cook for you before your eyes. Always fresh. abbas: love maroc abbas: type: general World66 rating: [rate it] ____________History Edit This The history of Agadir goes way back. Unfortunately, there is nothing left to show for it. It all ended with a huge earthquake in 1960. Before that fateful day, Agadir enjoyed the same history as most of the other coastal towns of the Sultanate. It was conquered by the Portuguese in the 15th century. The European traded directly with Saharan caravans, which cut out the middlemen from Fes and Marrakesh. A Portuguese merchant built the castle of Santa Cruz de Capo Gere. The castle rapidly became the largest and most profitable Portuguese fortress in Morocco. The Saadians, a holy family from the Draa Valley, re-conquered Agadir in the 16th century. It enjoyed some autonomy from the central state in the centuries to follow, mainly because it was on the other side of the High Atlas. Agadir made world headlines in 1911, when the Germans sent a gunboat to the harbor. By the end of the 19th century, Spain, France, Italy and Britain had split North Africa into agreed areas, excluding the Germans. In the pretense of helping a Moroccan sultan claim independence, the Germans sent a gunboat to Agadir. After much colonial diplomacy and postponements, Morocco’s independence was bought for several million square miles of French West Africa. Shortly after midnight, in February 1960, Agadir was totally destroyed and half of its inhabitants were buried alive in an earthquake that would change the face of this coastal city. _____Practical Information Edit This [Add Practical address] James Watson Edit This i Couple of pointers for you. 1. Take sterling in cash of Travellers Cheques, forget dollars etc. On the way home Duty free only takes Euros or Credit Cards. 2. Us the Petite Taxi's the cost about £1.00 or dh15 for two people to get round most of Agadir, they are bright Orange Peogeot 205's or Fiat Uno's, and are easy to flag down. 3. Don't drink the water, bottled is so cheap you could bathe in it, and watch the ice. 4. Trips wise, try 'The Real Morrocco' (a first choice special) the Atlas Mountains are breath taking. A trip to Marrakesh is also great although a long day more.. type: Tourist information World66 rating: [rate it] tel: 447949127123 address: Flat 4, Hanover Court, Albert Road, Morley, Leeds email: james-watson@tiscali.co.uk ___________Getting Around Edit This Le Petite Taxi Le Petite Taxi James Watson Distances in Agadir are relatively big, so you might want to use the petits taxis a little more often. You can also rent mopeds and motorbikes. They are useful if you want to go to the beaches just out of town. To get to Inezgane, the main transport hub of Agadir and the whole region, you need to take a bus (no. 22) or a grand taxi. [Add Local transport mode] James Watson Edit This Try the Petite Taxis, orange cars, and very cheap about a £1.00 for two to get to most of Agadir! Email me if you want a picture!! World66 rating: [rate it] tel: 447949127123 address: Flat 4, Hanover Court, Albert Road, Morley, Leeds email: james-watson@tiscali.co.uk _________-Getting There Edit This photo Inezgane is most likely to be your point of entry to Agadir if you're coming by bus or grand taxi. Inezgane is a very Moroccan suburb of Agadir and it has an enormous parking lot, full of buses and taxis and people shouting the names of the towns you might want to go to. Agadir does not have a train station. Agadir has an international airport situated 25 km east of Town. It is not always easy to get a cheap ride into town from the airport. Grand Taxi's have fixed, stiff tariffs, and most groups arriving have their bus waiting for them. Try to team up with fellow travelers before hiring a taxi to share the fare. It is also cheaper to go Inezgane first. _________Day Trips Edit This Photo taken in 1987 Photo taken in 1987 G.Forsberg Agadir is a convenient point to make daytrips from. Nearby are great beaches, the Atlas mountains, with beautiful Paradise Valley, and the ancient town of Taroudannt. [Add Day Trip] Taroudant Edit This The nicest daytrip to make to the old walled city of Taroudannt. Gives you an impression of what Agadir will have been like before the earthquake. Regular grand taxi's from Inezgane, also many organized trips by hotels. : It Boudad soou: anzi type: general World66 rating: [rate it] The Massa Lagoon Edit This The Massa Lagoon is the largest bird habitat of Morocco. Many flamingoes, ducks and other water birds. If you do not have your own transport you will probably end up hiring a grand taxi from Inezgane for the whole day. type: general World66 rating: [rate it] Paradise Valley Edit This Paradise Valley Paradise Valley photo by: G.Forsberg The waterfalls at Ida Ouatanane and the valley, known as Paradise Valley, is one of the nicest things to do from Agadir. It does involve some real traveling and it is wise to go for a two day trip. It is possible to stay in Immouzer. The best day to go is probably on thursday, when there are more buses and taxi's due to the fact that it's market day in Immouzer. On other days there is just a bus at 2 pm, that arrives at 6 pm in Immouzer. A rental car or your own wheels give you the opportunity to go there on your own, the road is wholly surfaced until Izzoumer. The valley more.. type: general World66 rating: [rate it] ____________Nightlife and Entertainment Edit This Night life in agadir is great.......only if you know where to go. there are THREE main clubs in agadir, and all the clubs are connected with a hotel, so you will not find a club standing on its own. the THREE best ones are DREAMS, FLAMINGO, and PAPA GAYO. you will find alot of miniture clubs and bars, but they all charge you 100 dirham (£6) to get in, so you might as well pay 100 to get into a decent club. one thing i have to tell you ..........is that the clubs are full of prostatutes, so be careful who u talk to, because they might charge u, as what happened to my friends!!! the drinks are very very expensive, roughly about £5 for water, fizzy drinks, juices and alchohol can go upto £9 for a decent cocktail. the music is wat the locals call "morrocon cocktail" they have RNB, hip hop, arabic, french, techno, house, spanish, latin, morrocon...basically a bit of everything, it really is very good. clubs start at about 12:30 - 1:00am!!! so its very late.....so dont make the mistake we made and turn up at 10:30, beacuse you will be there on your own!!!!!!! apart from clubs there are morrocon nights and belly dancing nights you can go to, which are roughly £12 but very worth it, food and real good entertainment. they last for about 3-4 hours, so you might want to think of somthing to do afterwards the night life really is great, you just need to find the correct places! sadeeka khondoker xx ___________Things to do Edit This During your stay in Agadir, you can do many excursions withlocal travel agencies such as : Massa Excursion on 4x4 - from 9am to 5pm visiting the lake, Massa bird reserve, tifnit fishermen village Tafraout : from 7am to 7pm - visiting Tizourgane Kasbah - Berber villages on granite rocks in Tafraout - Then Tiznit Medina (silverware) - Marrakech : some like to go to Marrakech for one day, but as road takes up to 4 hours, it is better to go to the red Medina for two days.

Veduta di Agadir
Agadir è una città e porto del Marocco meridionale, capoluogo dell'omonima provincia. Il nome significa in lingua berbera, granaio fortificato. Si affaccia sull'Oceano Atlantico, ai piedi dei monti dell'Atlante poco a nord rispetto a dove il fiume Sous sfocia nell'oceano. Popolazione: 608.600 (1.01.2004). Fu fondata da marinai portoghesi nel 1505. Nel 1541 divenne territorio del Marocco e nel 1911 al culmine della tensione franco-tedesca la Germania inviò la nave da guerra Panther ad Agadir. L'incidente scatenò quasi la guerra tra i due paesi e fece sì che la Francia nel 1912 dichiarò il Marocco suo protettorato. Il 29 febbraio 1960 la città venne distrutta da due forti terremoti, circa 15.000 persone persero la vita. La città attuale venne ricostruita due chilometri a sud dell'epicentro e ora è un porto e località marina con un'ampia spiaggia sabbiosa. Agadir si trova in una zona mineraria ricca di cobalto, manganese e zinco che vengono imbarcati nel suo porto. Il turismo, la pesca e la lavorazione del pesce sono le attività economiche più rilevanti. Negli ultimi anni l'attività turistica ha subito un forte aumento per merito della costruzioni di ampie strutture turistiche nella periferia della città. Vi si trova l'aeroporto di Al Massira.
