Practical tips

Agadir was rebuilt after the 1960 earthquake, so it's a modern resort city rather than a medina town — its food scene centres on the port, beach and Souk El Had.
The fishing port is one of the largest sardine ports in the world, so grilled sardines here are as fresh as it gets.
Souk El Had is huge and gated — go in the morning, hire a small basket-carrier if you buy a lot, and haggle gently.
The Souss region is argan country, so amlou, argan oil and argan-finished tagines are local specialities worth seeking out.

Frequently asked questions

What food is Agadir known for?

Fresh Atlantic seafood — especially sardines from its major fishing port — plus the argan-rich cooking of the surrounding Souss valley, including amlou and argan-oil tagines. It's a seafood-and-argan city more than a medina one.

Is Souk El Had worth visiting?

Yes — it's one of the biggest markets in Morocco, with thousands of stalls selling spices, olives, dates, argan products and crafts. It's the best place in Agadir to shop for edible souvenirs.

Why doesn't Agadir have an old medina?

A 1960 earthquake destroyed the original city, so Agadir was rebuilt as a modern planned resort. A reconstructed medina exists for visitors, but the real food life is at the port, beach and Souk El Had.
