Agadir·2 days: one city day on foot, one coast day by car
A two-day route: souk, museum and kasbah, then the coast road north.
The route
8 stops
1
Day 1, morning: Souk El Had — start at Agadir's huge walled market for spices, argan oil and leather; it is closed on Mondays.
2
Day 1, late morning: Musée du Patrimoine Amazigh — a small municipal museum just off Avenue Hassan II with Amazigh jewellery, carpets and everyday objects; closed on Sundays.
3
Day 1, after lunch: Agadir Beach & Corniche — walk the seafront promenade that runs along the bay towards the harbour.
4
Day 1, late afternoon: Kasbah Agadir Oufla — ride the 1,756 m cable car up to the hilltop ramparts for the bay panorama, ideally close to sunset.
5
Day 1, evening: Agadir Marina — dinner at the yacht harbour at the northern end of the Corniche.
6
Day 2, morning: Anza Beach (Dinosaur Footprints) — just north of Agadir; come at low tide to see the fossil trackways on the exposed reef.
7
Day 2, midday: Paradise Valley — turn inland at Aourir onto the Immouzer road, about an hour from Agadir, then walk down into the gorge and its palm-lined pools.
8
Day 2, sunset: Taghazout — end the day in the fishing and surf village about 20 km north of Agadir, watching the sets roll into Anchor Point.
This two-day Agadir itinerary splits the city and the coast. Day one covers Souk El Had, the Musée du Patrimoine Amazigh, the Corniche and the cable car up to Kasbah Agadir Oufla, ending at Agadir Marina. Day two follows the N1 north to Anza Beach, Paradise Valley and Taghazout. Day one is walkable with one taxi hop; day two needs a car or a driver.
Overview
Two days in Agadir: day one is the city — market, museum, beach and hilltop kasbah — and day two follows the coast road north.
Day one is walkable along the Corniche with a single taxi hop; day two needs a car or a driver.
Agadir was rebuilt after the 1960 earthquake, so its sights are modern and spread out rather than packed into an old medina.
Best time
Agadir stays mild all year; spring and autumn give warm days without the peak-summer crowds.
Skip Monday for Souk El Had and Sunday for the Musée du Patrimoine Amazigh — both are closed those days.
Check the tide table before Anza: the dinosaur footprints are only visible at low tide.
Practical tips
Petits taxis are the cheap way to move inside the city; agree the fare or ask for the meter before setting off.
Day two works best with a rental car or a private driver — Anza, Paradise Valley and Taghazout sit along the N1 and the Immouzer road.
Carry small dirham notes: Souk El Had stalls and village cafés are cash only.
Pack shoes with grip and swimwear for Paradise Valley — the pools are reached on foot from the parking area.
How to combine
With a third day, head south to Souss-Massa National Park or inland to Imouzzer Ida Outanane.
Surfers can give the whole second day to Taghazout, adding Anchor Point and Panorama Beach.
For a slower afternoon, Agadir's beachfront hotels run thalassotherapy spas within walking distance of the Corniche.
FAQs
Two days is enough for Agadir. One day covers the city — Souk El Had, the Musée du Patrimoine Amazigh, the Corniche, the cable car to Kasbah Agadir Oufla and Agadir Marina — and a second day covers the coast north of the city: Anza Beach, Paradise Valley and Taghazout.
Only on the second day. The first day is walkable along the Corniche with one petit-taxi hop out to Souk El Had. The second day follows the N1 north to Anza Beach and the Immouzer road inland to Paradise Valley, so a rental car or a private driver is needed.
Monday. Souk El Had in Agadir is closed on Mondays. Sunday is the busiest day of the week — the market's name means the Sunday souk — so mid-week mornings are the calmest time to walk the aisles.
