Agadir
Agadir is one of the most beautiful bays of the world, with its immense beach of soft sand, its shallow and calm Atlantic water, its 300 days of sunshine per year with its background country side full of history and culture. Agadir used to be a fishermen village and it still plays an important role today in the kingdom’s economy. It is still the first fishing port of Morocco.
Presently, works are underway for constructing a pleasant port. The city was destroyed in 1960 by a violent earthquake and was totally reconstructed. This is why it looks very modern well known for its nautical activities as well as its excursion premises, lively bars, restaurants and discotheques.
