A weekend of discovery in Agadir

For a first morning, there's nothing better than a short visit to Agadir town centre. With its restaurants, cafés, shops and various businesses, the city centre has evolved in terms of modernism and has become somewhat detached from its traditions.

Stroll through the streets of the centre and pass along the Avenue des FAR, (which stands for the Royal Armed Forces), the busiest avenue, but also along the main boulevards Hassan II and Mohammed V. At the end of the morning, head for the beach, and walk along the seafront with your feet in the water under the mild Agadir sun.

After a quiet morning, it's time for lunch, and there are plenty of restaurants and cafés overlooking the beach ready to welcome you and let you sample the best of Moroccan cuisine and many other specialities.

The tour continues to the Polizzi Medina, just a 15-minute drive from the city centre. Discover a prodigious place with ancestral architecture. Not far from the Medina, a 6-minute drive away, is the Les Dunes golf course. It covers 101 hectares and has 27 holes. You can take advantage of an entire course to discover the pleasures of this activity in the heart of nature. No need to be a great sportsman!

To round off this first day, we suggest dinner at the Jardin d'Eau restaurant. With its excellent location, it's renowned for its succulent dishes, its decor and its excellent value for money! Music lovers will also be delighted, as the venue hosts live artists throughout the evening.

Start your second day with a visit to Morocco's largest souk, the Souk El Had. It is located in the centre of Agadir. It's impossible not to venture there. It's best to go in the morning and on weekdays to avoid the crowds at peak times. Stroll among the scents and colours of these many shops.

🚩 Please note that Souk El Had is closed on Mondays for cleaning.

After touring the souk, it's time for a bite to eat! This time we're offering you a more relaxed lunch at La Provençal au Feu de Bois pizzeria. This restaurant offers dishes with a French flavour, combining Italian tradition with specialities from the south of France.

To digest your meal, head to the Musée du Patrimoine Amazigh d'Agadir (Agadir Amazigh Heritage Museum ), dedicated to the memory of the Berber heritage of the Souss Massa region. It houses various objects from the Amazigh culture and a collection of Berber jewellery. This visit will arouse your curiosity and awaken your senses.

At the end of the day, you can book a memorable activity: a horse ride. Take a horse ride along the beach and marvel at the splendour of the landscape at sunset.
