Fly from Nice to Agadir

To get to the Pearl of Morocco non-stop, you’ll need to take the easyJet flight from Nice to Agadir. You’ll find it waiting for you in Terminal 2.

Holidays are serious stuff! At least until you arrive in Agadir! You don’t want to start them off with a bout of stress by arriving at the airport last minute. Security screenings and customs take time to go through, especially as you’re unlikely to be the only person travelling. So be sure to arrive at your terminal at least 1 hour early, and add an additional 15 minutes should you need to go to the easyJet counter to collect your boarding pass or check bags.

• Put on your swimsuit and sunglasses, smear on some sunscreen, and throw yourself into the cresting Atlantic waves on one of Agadir’s many beaches. You can even learn to surf near Taghazoute, where the sport reigns.
• Conquer the Kasbah Agadir Oufella (“Agadir from above”, in the Berber language). This citadel has long been the heart of the city. Today only ramparts remain, and they drop over the coast from 200 metres up guaranteeing an unforgettable panoramic view.
• Bargain your way to great deals on spices, argan oil, handicrafts, jewellery, traditional clothing, or more contemporary creations with the 3,000 merchants in the largest souk in Morocco: the Souk El Had. A city within a city!
• Visit the Agadir Medina. The old city is gone, destroyed by the 1960 earthquake. But 30 years ago the Italian artist Coco Polizzi had the idea to construct a new one, modest but charming. It’s a village of artisans, colourful and gay. A real success.
• Nightingales aren’t the only birds in Agadir; at Birds Valley you’ll find a pleasant, shady animal park with hundreds of birds from around the world, as well as a few regional mammals.
• And of course there’s Agadir’s other celebrity beast: crocodiles! Crocoparc, the only Moroccan zoo dedicated to reptiles, has more than 300 of them (including a few particularly impressive specimens), in a setting that’s as meticulous as it is spectacular.
• Go on a little tour of paradise. More specifically to Paradise Valley, a breathtaking natural site just 30 or so kilometres from Agadir. Nestled in between the last slopes of the Atlas mountains, it will blow you away with its lush vegetation and rich turquoise natural pools.
• Be fearless! Dive into one of the pools in the Win-timdouine caves. The drive there is superb, the setting as severe as it is fascinating, and the waters, emerging from deep within the Atlas mountains at more than 1,600 metres altitude are...fresh!
• Wake the sleeping Bedouin by visiting the Massa desert, a nature reserve that will take your breath away with its wadi, dunes, and small villages such as Tiznit, which is known for its silver jewellery, or Tifnit, a fishing village of cave-houses.
• Hit the road and head for Taroudant, the “petite Marrakesh”, just an hour and a half from Agadir. This fortified city is vibrant, picturesque, and authentic. Prolong your happiness by a visit to the Tiout oasis, a superb palm grove guarded by an ancient and proud Berber kasbah.
