Itinerary
Visit the historic Kasbah Agadir Oufella, a 16th-century fortress perched on a hilltop overlooking the city. Explore the ruins of this ancient citadel and marvel at the breathtaking panoramic views of Agadir, the Atlantic Ocean, and the surrounding mountains. Learn about the Kasbah’s history and its significance as a symbol of the city’s resilience after the 1960 earthquake.
Admire the stunning architecture of the Mohammed V Mosque, one of Agadir’s most iconic landmarks. Discover its intricate design, featuring a beautiful minaret and traditional Moroccan elements, while learning about its cultural and religious significance in the local community.
Step into a local cooperative to discover the art of traditional Moroccan craftsmanship. Learn about the production of artisanal products like argan oil, and witness firsthand the techniques passed down through generations. This stop offers a unique opportunity to engage with local culture and purchase authentic souvenirs.
Immerse yourself in the vibrant atmosphere of Souk El Had, Agadir’s largest traditional market. Wander through bustling aisles filled with colorful stalls, where you’ll find everything from fresh produce and spices to handmade crafts and souvenirs. Experience the lively energy of local life and haggle for unique treasures to take home. ⚠️We inform you that Souk El Had is closed on Mondays, which is the weekly rest day for all market vendors. This closure applies to all bookings scheduled on that day. Instead, we suggest replacing the visit to Souk El Had with a visit to Kasbah Souss, a vibrant artisanal souk showcasing local craftsmanship.⚠️
Explore the Medina of Agadir, a beautifully reconstructed traditional village that offers a glimpse into Morocco’s rich cultural heritage. Wander through its narrow streets, admire the authentic architecture, and browse local artisan shops. Please note: The Medina visit is included only for departures before 5 PM. The entrance fee to the Medina is 4 Euros (or equivalent in Dirhams — we recommend paying in Dirhams for convenience).

We booked this tour while our cruise ship was docked at Agadir for the day and had an excellent time. Pre-trip communication from Agadir.Stories was excellent - they even sent us a photo of our guide in advance. Our guide and driver were great and they were happy to adjust the itinerary based on the wished of the tour guests. The minibus was comfortable and bottled water was provided for guests. We were even given advice on how to negotiate with vendors and avoid being taken advantage of. Overall, this tour was an excellent introduction to the city of Agadir (and a lot less expensive than the equivalent tour offered by the cruise line).

The trip went really well. Muhammad provided timely service and gave me gave me a good run down of all the places we went. He provided very personalized service and we stopped for coffee and cigarettes. This time allowed us to dive more into the political and cultural aspects of Morrooco. This was stimulating as I got to get a little better understanding of life for everyday Morrocans. Learning about the people’s lives in the country’s I visit and making these local connections makes my trip much more worthwhile. Thank you!

An absolutely outstanding tour. Wonderful guide (Mohamed) with superb English. Extremely knowledgeable. No pressure sales tactics at any stop - although he clearly knows a lot of people in Agadir. If you are interested in Argan oil, it is worth buying at the factory you visit. The prices are high but they are even higher for culinary Argan oil in the U.K. and here you are contributing to a local business. Highly recommended and very easy to book through this platform.
