A fascinating city surrounded by the Antiatlas, the Sahara Desert, natural parks, and secluded beaches

 AGA02GC - CITY TOUR (approx. 4 hours) - 2013/2014
Level of difficulty: easy  Panoramic Tour  Tastings  Your tour of Agadir begins at the old Kasbah, which is situated about 236 metres above sea level. In fact, it is one of the few remaining historical buildings in the city, which was destroyed by earthquakes on two occasions: once in 1731 and then again in 1960. As a result, Agadir is characterised by its modern architecture and a certain civic uniformity. The city centre, which forms the heart of social life, is a maze of beautiful streets that are full of restaurants, bars, cafés and shops. The central post office, the new city hall and the court are among the key buildings in this modern city. The highlight of your tour will certainly be the entertaining “Fantasia” folklore show, during which you will be served some refreshing mint tea and Moroccan pastries. Your tour ends with your return to your ship.
