Agadir in 3 Days: the Ideal Itinerary
Agadir is Morocco's big beach resort, with a long sandy bay and a mild climate all year round. Three days let you combine beach, viewpoints, nature and thrills.
To spend 3 days in Agadir, devote day 1 to the city: the beach and seafront promenade in the morning, then the cable car up to the Agadir Oufella kasbah for sunset over the bay. The 16th-century kasbah was almost entirely destroyed by the 1960 earthquake. On day 2, head to Paradise Valley, a canyon oasis about an hour's drive away, with natural pools in a palm grove (tours from €17). Day 3 is for adrenaline, with a quad safari between desert and beach (4.8/5 from nearly 3,000 reviews, from €19), then the afternoon at Crocoparc (from €10) or the Coco Polizzi medina. Agadir is about 3 hours from Marrakech by motorway.
