Agadir, Morocco

Postcards From Agadir

An Introduction to Morocco’s Beach Resort Discover the many faces of the seaside city perched between the Atlantic Ocean and the Atlas Mountains. First, enjoy a cable car ride to the top of Agadir’s Kasbah hill, more than a mile above sea level. See the ancient fortress’s massive, whitewashed walls and enjoy the sweeping views over the city below, the beautiful beaches, the promenade and the turquoise waters of the Atlantic. In the city center at the foot of the hill, explore modern Agadir, a city which emerged from the 1960 earthquake with a sleek, modern face, where buildings in light colors line broad tree-lined streets. See the Lebanon and Talborjt mosques with their intricately decorated facades and ornate doors, and the Wall of Remembrance, dedicated to the victims of the earthquake. Stroll over to the small Talborjt market before returning to your ship. * Moderate - Walking portions may be long and somewhat challenging with occasional step-ups, stairs and inclines.
