This self-guided tour brings together the places in Agadir that are open to visitors: a city that tells the story of its rebirth after the 1960 earthquake. On the heights, the Kasbah of Agadir Oufella overlooks the bay; the cable car links it to the city. Below, the marina is the start of the beach promenade. The rebuilt city center can be read through the Reconstruction Museum (closed on Tuesdays), the Lebanon Mosque, Olhão Garden, born of the twinning with the Portuguese town of Olhão, Jean-François Zevaco's raw-concrete main post office and the Mohammed V Mosque. The Talborjt district tells of Agadir before and after the earthquake. Souk El Had (closed on Mondays) plunges you into the city's trade. The Medina of Agadir, built from 1992 by Coco Polizzi with master craftsmen and stone from the region, is at its quietest right after opening. The Agadir Musée d'Art (closed on Mondays) sets jewellery, carpets and Moroccan painting side by side. The duration shown adds up visits and travel: spread the tour over several days, at your own pace. The mosques and the post office are viewed from outside; take a petit taxi between districts. Opening hours for each site are shown in the app: check them before you set off.
