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."
