While Agadir is known for its modernity, its Medina offers a glimpse into Morocco’s rich past and artistic traditions. Originally destroyed in the 1960 earthquake, the Medina has been beautifully reconstructed, blending authentic Moroccan architecture with a contemporary twist. As you stroll through its winding alleys, you’ll discover traditional artisans crafting rugs, pottery, jewelry, and leather goods, alongside bustling souks filled with exotic spices and handmade souvenirs.
A visit to the Medina isn’t complete without indulging in a glass of Moroccan mint tea at a local café, soaking in the vibrant atmosphere of this cultural hub. The Medina is located a few kilometers from the city center, making a rental car an ideal choice for those who want to combine this cultural experience with other nearby attractions such as the Kasbah or the beach promenade. Having the convenience of your own vehicle allows you to plan your itinerary seamlessly and make the most of your time in Agadir.
