Agadir: Guide
Agadir is a city in the Southern part of Morocco.
Agadir is mainly a touristic resort intended to be crowded with european tourists that go there in cheap packages. It has a nice beach and all the facilities for beach-tourism. The city itself is quite ugly and not very clean or ordered. Anyway, it's cheap, and for being Morocco is a comfortable place.
Agadir is very interesting for it's location. Around Agadir you can find very nice and empty beaches, and the region of the Antiatlas, the Sahara desert, some natural parks are very close and accessible for a low fare if you flight from some parts of Europe.
Get in
Airport-taxi 150 Dh during the day and 200 Dh during the night (if you arrive during the evening, the change is about 8:00pm). Bus 60 Dh, if you are three or more, 40 Dh. The stop in Agadir is at the Sahara's hotel parking. There is a company that has a telephone number: (0)28 82 20 17 and can bring a taxi to your hotel at any time of the day or night and costs the same that taking the taxi at the street. They speak Arabic, French, English and German.
There is no train connection to Agadir, you can only use the bus as a public transport. Agadir's bus station is at he Sahara hotel's parking, and is possible to take grand taxis there. There's a city at about ten kilometers, called Inezgane, which is the region's bus hub. Is very usual to arrive there and not to Agadir. The grand taxi to Agadir costs from 4 Dh/person.
Go to Inezgene from the airport, which is closer, easier to catch there bus to Marrakech, Ouarzazate, Taroudannt and other places. Not touristic as modern Agadir!
Get around
Most of the Agadir's petit taxi are quite legal and use the taximeter (you can ask the driver to do it without problem). If you go around the center, they will ask you normally from 10 to 20 Dh.
There ae also some buses but, as usual, they are very crowded, slow, and pass with low frequency. The touristic city is small enough to go walking instead of going by bus.
Around Agadir
At 40km south from Agadir, there is the Souss-Massa river national park
At about 80km east from Agadir, there is the city of Taroudannt, which really worths the visit if you don't plan to visit Marrakech or other big historical cities.
The coast northern to Agadir has very nice and accessible beaches, like Taghazout at 15 km. You can get to these towns using the Zetrap bus lines that leave from the center of Agadir.
Do
Agadir hasn't got many things to visit since it's mainly a new city and a touristic resort.
The main atraction is the beach, which is very big, without wind and not very crowded.
There's part of the original fortress which is at the top of the hill beside the city, over the huge painting. It's possible to arrive there by taxi, bus or even small mopeds that are for rent at the surroundings of the Hotel Kenzi (expensive,more than 100 Dh an hour).
There is a small zoo, called "Vallée des Oiseaux". The entrance is very cheap, 5 Dh adults and 3 Dh for the children. There is a very nice cage you can walk inside, many birds from all the world, some goat-like animals from the Atlas, even exotic mammals. The Agadir children goes there also to play in a small and crowded game zone. To arrive, go to the Uniprix, and the main gate is at the other side of the street at the right (Av. Hassan II).
Buy
Agadir is maybe the city with the least charm to buy the typical Moroccan handcraft goods. All the souk is around a big square behind the Uniprix (Blvd. Hassan II with Ave. Sidi Mohammed). There is a concrete building called Marché centrale with many shops inside. Is possible to get in also from Ave. Prince Moulay Abdallah. All the goods are made outside the Agadir region, and it's difficult to find them at a good price. The good thing of buying in Agadir is that there are many fix-price shops, which is good if you don't know how to haggle well. In fact, you may find that the cheap things you bought in Marrakech are not so cheap!
In the Uniprix shop is possible to buy small typical pieces in maybe the least authentic shop in Morocco, but the prices are no so high and there is nobody pushing you to buy.
Eat
There are three main zones to eat in Agadir:
New Talbourjt: The cheapest restaurants are here. There are menus for 30 Dh. It's one of the cheapest zones in Morocco for tourists.
The beach: Next to the beach, there are many restaurants. You can find from international fast food to Indian food, good fish restaurants, etc. It's the most expensive and touristic zone.
Around the Uniprix: It's the mid price zone. There are touristic restaurants and some restaurants for the local people.
Drink
Agadir is touristically prepared for Europeans, so you can find night clubs in the touristic zones, where you can find more tourists beside the usual locals looking for tourists.
Alcohol is found in all the touristic places.
If you are looking just to talk and drink something during the evening, you can go to the nice and big cafes that are at ave. Hassan II, like La Fontaine, La Veranda, Le Dome, etc. It's a real ritual for many Agadir citizens.
Sleep
I recommend a fine 4 Star Hotel Jacaranda Golf Hotel Agadir. Every comfort and great food and lovely pool and gardens
