Agadir Medina
9CHH+G46 Aghroud, Agadir 80007, Morocco
The Agadir Mag take
Agadir Medina is a reconstructed medina built after the 1960 earthquake levelled the original. Reviews largely agree it’s worth an hour if you’re staying in the city—the gardens and café terrace work well for families, and the stonework is competent enough. You’ll pay entry and find the expected souvenir shops.
The honest friction: some visitors note the “ancient” buildings look recently restored (because they are), and the whole thing splits between well-kept and visibly crumbling halves. The on-site café serves tagines and grilled meat at predictably inflated prices. It’s not deceptive—just clearly a managed attraction rather than lived history. Fifteen minutes by taxi from the beach, around 25–40 MAD depending on negotiation. Fine for an afternoon if you’re not expecting authenticity.

Located just outside the city, this is a small, charming old place. The sights are beautiful and everything is very well maintained. It’s definitely worth a visit. You can enjoy a nice walk, relax, and there are cats, peacocks, and a café terrace as well.
Pretty medina if you’re looking for something to do while in Agadir. It’s a new building, in the style of an old building that was damaged. You have to pay to get in. Inside you find souvenirs. It’s a pretty place for photos, but I wouldn’t necessarily go there to buy anything
The buildings do not look as old as represented. I feel some recent restorations may have been done to make sure the old buildings stand for years to come. But overall nice to roam the old medina and get some drinks and food from the cafe. Perfect for families. FYI from the beach to the medina is around 15 mins and taxis should be charging you around 25 to 40 dirhams. Depending on the taxi and passengers.
Worth a visit if you're in Agadir..a reconstruction of the ancient Medina destroyed by an earthquake. One half around the shops is well maintained and beautiful, the other crumbling. The gardens and walks are also nice and there is a small but pricey restaurant on site.
Beautiful place, the reconstruction is really well done. Lots to see, the cafe was a welcome stop off at the end for the kids and did not disappoint. The was something for everyone... Delicious tagines, traditional BBQ and burger for the less adventurous. All delicious. Highly recommend.
