3. Explore Agadir’s City Center
For museum sightseeing, the Amazigh Museum (Passage Ait Souss) displays some of Bert Flint’s ethnographic collection, in conjunction with the Tiskiwin Museum in Marrakesh. The museum provides a good introduction to the culture and artistry of Morocco’s Amazigh (Berber) cultures. The Agadir Memorial Museum (Avenue President Kennedy) was erected as a memorial to Agadir’s tragic 1960 earthquake, which leveled the town, and holds an interesting collection of black and white photographs of Agadir in the early 20th century.
4. Visit Crocopark
This wildlife reserve, 14 kilometers east of Agadir, is home to Nile Crocodiles, which up to the early 20th century were endemic in Morocco but have since been wiped out by hunting in the wild. Here, in this park dedicated to safeguarding the crocodiles, you can see and learn about these much-feared beasts up close, in an environment that has been carefully created to mimic their natural habitat.
