Agadir City Tour

Agadir is a young city watched over by an old hill. This tour links the Agadir Oufella kasbah, the marina at its foot, the long beachfront promenade and the streets where residents shop and eat — a good first day for getting your bearings before you head further out.

Highlights

• Wide views over the bay from Agadir Oufella, the hilltop kasbah about 236 m above sea level
• The cable car that has carried visitors up to the kasbah since July 2022 — a quick, scenic way to the top
• A stroll around the marina, with yachts, cafés and the working port beside it
• The beachfront promenade, at its liveliest in the late afternoon
• Optional stops such as Souk El Had or a neighbourhood café, depending on your interests

What to expect

The day is about context as much as sights. From the hill, the restored ramparts and the view explain how the old kasbah, the port and the modern city fit together. Back at sea level, the marina and promenade show the resort that grew up after the 1960 earthquake.

Pace and stops are flexible. Tell us what you enjoy — photography, food, history or simply a slow walk — and we will suggest a route by email.

Good to know

• The kasbah was destroyed in the 1960 earthquake; its walls have since been restored.
• The hilltop is exposed to sun and wind, so bring a hat and water.
• Cable car times and fares are set by its operator and can change; check on the day.
• Comfortable shoes help on the kasbah paving and the promenade.

Where it is

Agadir Oufella rises north of the city centre, directly above the port. The cable car line runs for roughly 1.7 km from its lower station near the Tildi bridge up to the hilltop. The marina and promenade lie between the port and the main beach.
