Morocco is an amazing country full of contrasts. There are beaches shining with gold and decorating the coasts of the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, and snow-white mountain peaks that sparkle dazzlingly in the sun. Heat radiates from the Sahara, and waterfalls, orange groves and cedar forests give coolness.
Agadir is a resort with luxurious beaches famous for golden sand, eucalyptus forests, striking emerald green color, gentle climate and hospitable locals. The city has been known since the 8th century BC, when the Phoenicians established their settlements in its place. Agadir itself was founded by the Portuguese in 1505 and flourished due to its products - spices, oils, dates, sugar cane and wax.
Agadir is rich in attractions, one of which is the Souss-Massa National Park. Here you can see wild boars, mongooses, gazelles and flamingos. The city has mosques, parks, boulevards, along which it is pleasant to stroll in the evenings, picturesque squares, as well as the ruins of a 16th century fortress. Not far from Agadir is the city of Essouira, where you can see how the Berbers live.
But the glory of Agadir was brought by its luxurious beaches, where you can enjoy the gentle sun or engage in active sports. You can rent a yacht to see the city in all its glory from its snow-white side. In Agadir you can play golf or tennis, or you can ride horses or camels on the "ships of the desert". After a day full of emotions, you can relax in the thalassotherapy centers, or end the day in one of the nightclubs or at the disco.
Gourmets in Agadir will be able to taste the seafood and fish for which this port city is famous, or you can pamper yourself with traditional Arabian treats - kebab or couscous.
Souvenirs from Agadir include carpets, exquisite jewelry, leather goods, ceramics or masterfully crafted works of artisans.
