Agadir Kasbah & Coco Polizzi tour: Half-day with hotel pickup

Walk the 16th-century Kasbah and the medina built to replace what the earthquake took

A half-day guided tour of Agadir covers the Kasbah Ruins, a 16th-century Saadian fortress with panoramic views of the port and city, and Coco Polizzi, the modern medina built in the 1990s to reconnect with Agadir's old town destroyed in 1960. The guide explains Berber traditions and local history while you move between sites by air-conditioned vehicle, with hotel pickup and medina entry included.

The experience

The Kasbah sits on a hill overlooking the fishing port and the entire city: a 16th-century fortress that survived the 1960 earthquake that flattened everything below it. Your guide walks you through the ruins and explains what stood here before, then you move to the Mohamed V Mosque for photos from outside before heading into Coco Polizzi, the medina an Italian architect built in the 1990s as a deliberate echo of the old town. The streets, the layout, the craft stalls: all designed to give visitors a sense of what Agadir's traditional medina was like.

You'll spend time in the Berber market at Kasbah Souss, where traditional handcrafts are sold, and the guide will talk through local customs and the way Berber culture shaped the city. The whole tour moves at a steady pace with stops built in for looking around and asking questions. Hotel pickup means no arranging transport yourself, and the air-conditioned vehicle keeps you comfortable between sites on a half-day schedule.

Top questions

Can children come?

Yes. Ticket types: Child (3 to 12 years). Children under 3 can't be included in the booking.

What is the Kasbah of Agadir and why does it still stand?

The Kasbah is a 16th-century Saadian fortress built on a hill above the city. It survived the devastating 1960 earthquake that destroyed the medina and port below, making it one of the few structures from that era still standing. From the top, you see the entire fishing port and city spread out below.

What is Coco Polizzi and why was it built?

Coco Polizzi is the modern medina of Agadir, constructed in the 1990s by an Italian architect as a way to recreate the atmosphere and layout of the old medina that was destroyed in the 1960 earthquake. It lets visitors experience traditional Moroccan architecture and street life in a setting designed to honor what was lost.

Will I learn about Berber culture on this tour?

Yes. The guide explains Berber traditions and customs throughout the tour, particularly when you visit the traditional handcrafts market at Kasbah Souss, where you can see local artisans and the goods they make.

How long is the tour and what time does it start?

The tour runs for 3.5 hours total. Your hotel in Agadir is the pickup point, so the timing works around your location and the operator's schedule.
