Drive from the pier directly to Inezgane's Fantasia, where you will be welcomed by singers in keeping with Moroccan hospitality.
Moroccan cookies and mint tea are served under traditional Berber tents as you enjoy a performance of the ever-popular Berber dances.
It is a rare treat to witness a horse race run by horsemen in traditional costume, complete with the age-old tradition of rifles fired into the air at the end of the race. The race is deeply rooted in Moroccan culture as a symbol of manhood, courage, and hospitality.
Enjoy a short stop in Agadir's city center for some free time and optional shopping. The kasbah (fort) offers a panoramic view before you return to the port.
Notes:
The market is closed on Mondays; a visit to Inezgane's market will be substituted. Inezgane is a local market that does not offer a wide selection of souvenirs or handicrafts. On Fridays, some stalls close at noon for prayers and remain closed for 2-3 hours. Monuments and shops are closed on holidays. Wear comfortable walking shoes. Daytime temperatures are high, and shade is limited; to avoid sunburn, wear light, long clothing suitable for use as a cover-up. Bring a hat and sunglasses, wear biodegradable sunscreen. Bring bottled water. Bring local currency, as many vendors do not accept credit cards or US dollars. Do not take photos of military personnel without their consent. Be always mindful of your belongings, particularly at tourist points of interest or in crowded places.
