Wondering what to do in Agadir over a long weekend, without rushing around or eating just anything? Good news. This city in southern Morocco is best enjoyed slowly, between its long beach, the marina, the souk and the heights of the old kasbah. And since a good trip is built around the table too, here is a 3-day gourmet itinerary in Agadir that blends the city's pleasures with great food. Our home base throughout the stay: Madina, a café, restaurant and pizzeria in the Haut Founty district, open every day from 8am to midnight.
The idea is simple. You walk, you explore, you breathe in the ocean air, and you come back to Madina depending on the time of day. A generous breakfast in the morning, a relaxed lunch at midday, a late dinner in the evening since the kitchen stays open until midnight. With more than 130 dishes, Moroccan and Italian, all halal, there is plenty to vary without ever growing tired of it.
Day 1: the beach, the promenade and a first meal at Madina
To kick off the first day of your 3 days in Agadir, start with a hearty breakfast. At Madina, breakfast runs until noon, which leaves time to linger a little.
- On the morning table: freshly made msemen and harcha, smooth amlou, eggs, viennoiseries and fresh fruit juices.
- Then head to Agadir's main beach and its long seafront promenade, perfect for a walk in the sun.
- In the afternoon, let the seafront carry you along, feet in the sand, time for a swim or a simple pause.
In the evening, come back to Madina for a no-pressure dinner. The wood-fired pizzas are a safe bet after a day by the ocean. If you are still hesitating, take a look at our full menu to decide at your own pace.
Day 2: the marina, Souk El Had and Moroccan cuisine
The second day is made for exploring the soul of the city. Between the modern marina and the big traditional souk, you touch both faces of Agadir.
- In the morning, wander around the marina, its boats and its quays, before the heat sets in.
- Around midday, head to Madina for a Moroccan lunch. A slow-cooked tajine, a generous couscous, or a pastilla for the curious: the country's cuisine takes center stage.
- In the afternoon, dive into Souk El Had, its stalls of spices, olives, crafts and a thousand colors.
Madina also means rfissa, seffa and other Moroccan dishes that tell the story of home cooking. If you want to dig into the subject before you arrive, our guide on what to eat in Agadir will get your mouth watering. And since the kitchen stays open late, dinner after a long market day is always an option.
Day 3: the heights of Agadir Oufella and a final Italian feast
For this last day, gain some altitude. The hill of Agadir Oufella, home to the remains of the kasbah, offers a wide view over the bay and the ocean. It is the kind of panorama that rounds off a stay nicely.
- Start with breakfast at Madina, so you set off well fed. Our article on breakfast in Agadir details everything that awaits you in the morning.
- Then climb up to the Agadir Oufella kasbah for the view over the city and the sea.
- If time allows, push a little further toward the Souss-Massa region, a land of nature and wide open spaces.
For the final dinner, switch registers and go Italian. Fresh pasta, risotto, or a wood-fired pizza to finish in style. Madina also serves burgers, grills and fish, enough to please the whole table. It is a fine way to close these 3 days in Agadir on a warm, friendly note.
