Ancient ruins and a born-again spirit, Agadir, meaning fortress, is a modern phoenix. Rock the atmospheric architecture of the Kasbah and Medina then discover how ancient Agadir, levelled by an earthquake in 1960, is now rebuilt as a great European-like city. With one of the most lovely lagoons in the world, the crescent beach attracts surfers, and sunbathers year round whilst the the Souk El Had, with nearly 6,000 stalls, is laden with spices, clay tajines, teapots, and exceptional rungs. From slow-moving camels to mountain-gliding gondolas; ancient ruins and modern malls; Agadir is a Moroccan mix of everything you ever wanted.
