You leave Marrakech at first light, the minivan threading olive groves and the lower slopes of the High Atlas as the road loosens into the broad Souss plain. By midmorning the Atlantic appears, flat and gray or glittering blue, daring you toward Agadir’s wide crescent bay. The ruined Kasbah of Agadir Oufella perches above the city, its crumbling walls giving a vantage where harbor cranes and the rebuilt grid of the modern town meet the sea.
