A colourful mosaic in the kasbah in Agadir

Agadir is one of the major arrival points for travellers to Morocco, with a stunning beach, vibrant sea-front cafes and huge apartment blocks and hotels crowding its oceanfront.

At night Agadir's promenades teem with life as people take advantage of the excellent weather.

Agadir is home to a truly fantastic market where one stall holder specialises in apricots, another in nuts, another in red onions - not all mixed together as in most markets in the West. There is a also a live chicken market where chicken shrieks and feathers punctuate the air.
