You step out of the cool, air‑conditioned vehicle onto a wind‑blown hill and the city opens beneath you: the Atlantic glints, fishing boats dot the harbor, and the stone outline of a 16th‑century kasbah crouches above the port.

You step out of the cool, air‑conditioned vehicle onto a wind‑blown hill and the city opens beneath you: the Atlantic glints, fishing boats dot the harbor, and the stone outline of a 16th‑century kasbah crouches above the port.
The tour begins with that view at Agadir Oufella, a Saadian-era hilltop fortress that survived centuries before the 1960 earthquake reshaped this coastline. From the kasbah’s terrace a sweep of city, sea and palm-lined avenues makes clear why Agadir developed as a trading port. The short walk through Coco Polizzi’s reconstructed medina follows — an intentional, 1990s-era reinterpretation of the old souk built to reconnect the modern city with its lost neighborhoods. Along narrow alleys you’ll find Berber craft workshops, weaving demonstrations and displays of local silverwork that speak to the region’s Amazigh heritage.
Expect short uphill steps to viewpoints, paved access to parking, and several stops totaling roughly three–four hours. The guide covers museum‑style context at the kasbah and a 30–35 minute walk through the handcrafts market where purchases support local artisans. Practical notes: dress respectfully (a light scarf is useful), bring water and sun protection, and carry small bills for market purchases. Morning or late afternoon light is best for photos and cooler walking.
This half‑day pairing of coastal outlooks, reconstructed medina streets, and live craft demonstrations is compact but rich — ideal for travelers who want cultural depth without a full‑day commitment.

Agadir’s old medina and much of the city were destroyed in the 1960 earthquake of 1960; Coco Polizzi’s medina is a late‑20th century reconstruction meant to revive traditional crafts and streetscapes.
Support local artisans by buying directly and avoid single‑use plastics; stay on defined paths at viewpoints to limit erosion.
