Agadir Travel Essentials
🌞 Best Time to Visit
March-May & September-November for perfect beach weather (22-28°C). December brings the Almond Blossom Festival in nearby Tafraoute.
🚕 Getting Around
Petits taxis (blue) for city trips (10-20 MAD). Grands taxis for excursions. Tip: Download "Careem" app for ride-hailing.
💰 Money Matters
ATMs widely available. Credit cards accepted in hotels/marina. Cash essential for souks and local restaurants (1 USD ≈ 10 MAD).
🌊 Beach Safety
Strong currents north of marina - swim between flags only. Vendors persistent but harmless - polite "La shukran" (no thanks) works.
Local Insight: Agadir's Secret Spots
"For authentic Berber flavors, head to Taouss Restaurant behind the fish market - their lamb with prunes and sesame is legendary. Locals swim at Aghroud Beach (5km south) to escape crowds. Don't miss the Tuesday Berber Market in nearby Inezgane for handmade pottery."
