Agadir

OverView

Agadir travel guide<br /> The ``Miami of Morocco``, modern Agadir offers nightlife and restaurants, golf and horse-riding, beach basking and water-based fun, and kasbah views.</p> <p>Though named after a 16th-century fortress (agadir) on a hilltop to its north, Agadir, 70km (43 miles) west of Taroudant, is brand new. An earthquake in 1960 levelled the old town, killing 15,000 people and leaving 50,000 homeless. A new city was built as a resort around the sandy bay here.</p> <p>Modern architecture, wide, tree-lined avenues, open squares and pedestrian precincts contrast with the narrow streets of a traditional Moroccan town.</p> <p>The focus downtown is the shopping centre of Place du Prince Héritier Sidi Mohammed. The new Marina d’Agadir is lined with boutique shops, restaurants and apartments. Low-rise hotels separate the centre from Agadir’s splendid beach, which stretches 10km (6 miles) to the south. Various activities are on offer here, including wind-surfing and sailing.
