Agadir Kasbah

Advantages: Cheap to fly there
Disadvantages: Too many tourists

...AGADIR is one of the main tourist resorts in Morocco, if not the main one. Herds of tourists arrive every day from Europe on charter flights, and most of them do not venture any further than Agadir, spending their day on the beaches. I did not like Agadir myself, since I found it expensive, and lacking character in comparison to other cities in Morocco. We went to visit what is left of the old casbah, out of the town.

Advantages: Good centre for other outings

...Morroco is great but never go to Agadir. Don't believe the holiday brochures which say what a wonderful beach resort it is. It is true it does have a beach, but the whole place has about as much Morrocan flavour as Skegnes. It does however, boast a sardine canning factory and lots of 'lovely' naff hotels that try desparately to sustain a 'good place to be' image but fail miserably.
