Agadir is the Kingdom of Morocco's own Nice. A city of glamour and celebration of life, passionately tempting to relax and hang out no less chic than in any European resort.
Compared to other cities in Morocco, Agadir cannot be called ancient. Its history dates back to the very beginning of the 16th century, when it was chosen by the Portuguese to build defensive fortifications against uninvited guests.
The construction of fortresses is a typical beginning for the emergence of new cities in Morocco, often due to the presence of direct access to the Atlantic Ocean or the Mediterranean Sea. Agadir was also protected from the desert. The mountains of the High Atlas and Anti-Atlas protected him from possible threats from uninhabited lands and other sometimes unfriendly territories.
The heyday of the city, the so-called "Golden Age of Agadir", happened quite quickly. By the middle of the 16th century, under Arab rule, it was difficult to imagine a more prosperous trading city. The seaport, and with it trade relations - the export of dates, spices, sugar cane, wax, oil, spices and, of course, precious metals, brought considerable income to both the city and the country as a whole.
However, the rapid development did not last long. After the expulsion of the Spaniards and the preference of the rulers of Morocco for other coastal areas as defensive and commercial centers, the city lost further prospects of becoming. For several centuries, it remained a small settlement with a measured, unremarkable rhythm of life.
To top it all off, a strong earthquake occurred in 1960, which almost completely destroyed the city. It seemed that nothing could restore its former glory. Many ancient buildings and landmarks were completely wiped off the face of the earth.
But life itself helped to put everything in its place.
Rebuilt, Agadir quickly became famous far beyond the borders of the country, as a real European resort on African soil. Here you can find everything you need for a real holiday and fun on vacation: from purely oriental entertainment – hookah smoking, camel riding, trading in markets and bazaars - to modern Western ways of spending time – discos, nightclubs, casinos and, of course, luxury boutiques.
Recently, Agadir thalassotherapy centers have become increasingly popular, offering cosmetic services and professional treatment combining Moroccan traditions and the latest achievements of Western technologies in the field of medicine.
But even in such a modern and comfortable city, which was literally reborn from oblivion, there was a place for a typical national flavor, day after day embodied in the Old Bazaar of Agadir. Here you can buy everything that the south of the Kingdom is famous for. Carpets and leather goods, as is customary, are made locally, and jewelry and ceramics are specially imported from Tiznit and Safi.
Today, while remaining the Kingdom's largest fishing port, Agadir is primarily the country's leading tourist center.
