At the northern end of Agadir is the pretty harbour and fishing port. It still has a very active fishing fleet landing catches of fish on a daily basis. It is a great place to buy fresh fish, once buy that so fishermen will cook the fish in front of you for immediate eating. Also within the harbour, there is the opportunity to book onto sailing boats for trips out into the bay and farther a field. Most of these sailing trips are well organised and vary from 1 hour to whole day trips.7939JHRG8C3E

Southern Morocco’s major tourist destination is Agadir, completely rebuilt after an earthquake fattened it in 1960, and now a popular beach resort with a fne sweep of sand, though very deliberately developed, and not a place to seek out “the real Morocco”. To its north, Taghazout, still just a small fshing village, has become Morocco’s number one surfng resort. Inland, Paradise Valley is a beautiful and exotic palm gorge, from which a mountain road trails up to the now-nearly-dry waterfalls of Immouzer des Ida Outanane – a superb one- or two-day trip. South of Agadir, the beaches are scarcely developed, ranging from solitary campsites at Sidi Rbat – one of Morocco’s best locations for birdwatching – and Sidi Moussa d’Aglou, down to the old port of Sidi Ifni – only relinquished by Spain in 1969 and full of splendid Art Deco colonial architecture.

Agadir’s history closely parallels that of Morocco’s other Atlantic ports. It was colonized fist by the Portuguese in the fifteenthcentury, then, recaptured by the Saadians in the sixteenth, carried on its trading with intermittent prosperity, overshadowed, more often than not, by the activities of Mogador (Essaouira) and Mazagan (El Jadida).
Abroad, Agadir’s name was known mainly for a crisis in colonial squabbling during the run-up to World War I.
