What to see in Agadir

Agadir is a sunny city in southwestern Morocco, located on the Atlantic coast in the fertile Sousse Valley. Its history combines maritime trade, fishing traditions and modern beach infrastructure; the city was almost completely rebuilt after the devastating 1960 earthquake and today exudes an atmosphere of relaxation, hospitality and Berber culture.

Manufactures and facilities

Agadir’s man-made sights are striking in a combination of modern and historical: a majestic fishing port, a lively promenade with Karniza Boulevard and Sousse Promenade, elegant mosques – including the Lubnan Mosque and the city’s main mosque – as well as modern city squares and reconstructed areas, where the spirit of the revived city is felt. In the vicinity, historical fortresses and ports, such as the Portuguese Xal al-Bahr towards the north, add to the region’s historical context and architectural diversity.
