Agadir is a city in the Southern part of Morocco.

Agadir is mainly a touristic resort intended to be crowded with european tourists that go there in cheap packages. It has a nice beach and all the facilities for beach-tourism. The city itself is quite ugly and not very clean or ordered. Agadir is very interesting for it's location. Around Agadir you can find very nice and empty beaches, and the region of the Antiatlas, the Sahara desert, some natural parks are very close and accessible for a low fare if you fly from some parts of Europe.

Get in

Airport-taxi 150 Dh during the day and 200 Dh during the night (if you arrive during the evening, the change is about 8:00pm). Bus 60 Dh, if you are three or more, 40 Dh. The stop in Agadir is at the Sahara's hotel parking. There is a company that has a telephone number: (0)28 82 20 17 and can bring a taxi to your hotel at any time of the day or night and costs the same that taking the taxi at the street. They speak Arabic, French, English and German.

There is no train connection to Agadir, you can only use the bus as a public transport. Agadir's bus station is at he Sahara hotel's parking, and is possible to take grand taxis there. There's a city at about ten kilometers, called Inezgane, which is the region's bus hub. Is very usual to arrive there and not to Agadir. The grand taxi to Agadir costs from 4 Dh/person.

Go to Inezgene from the airport, which is closer, easier to catch there bus to Marrakech, Ouarzazate, Taroudannt and other places. Not touristic as modern Agadir!

Get around

Most of the Agadir's petit taxi are quite legal and use the taximeter (you can ask the driver to do it without any problems). If you go around the center, they will ask you normally from 10 to 20 Dh.

There are also some buses but, as usual, they are very crowded, slow, and pass with low frequency. The touristic city is small enough to go walking instead of going by bus.

There's part of the original fortress which is at the top of the hill beside the city, over the huge painting. It's possible to go there by taxi, bus or even small mopeds that are for rent around of...
