Berber Museum
The Municipal Museum of Berber Heritage in Agadir is small, but quite interesting. It was opened 40 years after the devastating earthquake, in 2000. In three halls, the permanent exhibition displays about 200 artifacts belonging to the peoples from the Sous-Massa-Draa region.
El Ahad Market
You should definitely visit the El-Ahad market, located in the southeastern part of the city. This is a true Arab bazaar, a “souq,” and, moreover, the largest in the region. Even if you don’t plan to buy anything, you can still have a wonderful time here, fully immersing yourself in the colors and scents; and if you’re planning to bargain with the vendors and have tea in the cafés, you can easily set aside two or three hours. There are also a few smaller markets in the city that are intended almost entirely for tourists. For example, the Central Market isn’t as colorful as El-Ahad, but it’s located very close to the beach.
Kasbah Fortress
The ancient Kasbah in Agadir was built in the 16th century. The Kasbah is located about 5 km from the city center. Getting there is easiest by taxi (5-10 minutes) or on foot (1 hour). In days gone by, the Kasbah was a strong fortress with fortifications and lively, winding streets. As a result of the earthquake that occurred in 1960, the fortress was badly damaged and only one restored long wall and gate remained, where you can see an engraved inscription: “Fear God and honor your king”.
