5. Add a Trip to Essaouira to Your Holiday
Essaouira, 173 kilometers north of Agadir, is one of Morocco’s most popular seaside towns, and its preserved 18th-century seafront fortifications have been stamped with a UNESCO World Heritage Site listing. Inside the medina, it’s all about aimless strolling while admiring the preserved architecture and browsing the many small art galleries and souq streets selling local handicrafts.
6. Day Trip to Paradise Valley
This pretty gorge, about 60 kilometers north of Agadir, is a great destination to sample a taste of Moroccan rural life. Day hikes here along marked hiking trails pass by orchards of almond trees and olive trees and small villages along the way, all backed by views of the western edge of the Atlas Mountain peaks rising up in the distance.
