Travel for real
Surprising trips
The areas surrounding Agadir have some pleasant surprises in store for those who can leave the beach for long enough to enjoy a nice walk. Between the ocean and the mountains, located on a migratory route, Agadir and its region are a haven of tranquility for migratory birds.
Unique panorama
From the hill which sheltered the old kasbah, the bay can be seen in all its glory. It is said to one of the most beautiful bays in the world. Further off, the port never stops, as goods and foodstuffs are transported towards the Souk El Had market or the new medina.
A paradise for birds
Located between the sea front and the Great Mosque, take the time to visit Bird Valley, an ornithological museum featuring the main migratory birds that frequent the region. Then, don't miss out on the Souss Massa national park, a nature reserve to the south of the town which welcomes a multitude of migratory birds like pink flamingos, storks or even the world's largest colony of bald ibises.
Noble almonds
Towards Tiznit, to the south, the almond-tree road is an excursion which allows you to take in the striking landscapes of the Anti-Atlas range. There are palm groves, splendid blocks of pink granite reddened by the sunset, and numerous almond trees, whose nuts are essential in Moroccan cuisine.
Magic oil
Towards Essaouira, follow the argan-tree road; this endemic tree which is desert-resistant and can live up to 200 years. Its nuts provide a precious oil which is equally as good for cooking as it is for beauty and skin treatments.
