Agadir Kasbah - History of the Kasbah of Agadir
A few kilometres from the centre of Agadir, on the top of a hill, stands the city’s old Kasbah. This name, kasbah, means fortification, and that’s what it was, a construction of sturdy ramparts built to serve as protection for the army and the people. It’s located in a prime position to look out over the surrounding area, at an altitude of more than 200 metres above sea level. This building was ordered to be erected by Mohamed Ech-Cheik in 1540 to house his army and to wait for the right moment to move against the Portuguese settlers who were protecting themselves in a fortress in Agadir. They were expelled in 1541 and the kasbah lost its purpose. When the turbulent times returned with the arrival of the Dutch, Moulay Abdallah used it again in 1752 to station over 2,000 soldiers there. - La Nouvelle Medina Polizzi - Visit the Medina Coco Polizzi

It is time to discover the unmissable areas of the city of Agadir on a 3-hour tour, where you will take breathtaking views at the top of the Kasbah, and then try your bargaining skills at Souk El Hed (local market), all while learning about the history of this city. At the start of the Agadir city tour, we will drive along the Agadir beach promenade before arriving at the contemporary Agadir Marina beach, which is lined with boutiques and restaurants. Then, we will drive alongside the world’s biggest sardine harbor. Next, we will drive up the hill to Agadir Oufella (Agadir hilltop), the city’s 16th-century Saadian Kasbah (a fortress built in 1572), which offers a complete panoramic view of the whole city and the fishing port. See the inscription “Fear God and honor the King” right above the entrance of the Kasbah and remember to snap a memorable photo. Our final stop before returning to the hotel will be Souk El Hed.
