which exhibits a small collection of Berber objects from 18th and 19th century the likes of old Berber music instruments, Berber jewelry, traditional clothing and old manuscripts.

Kasbah Agadir

Is the big building on the hill overlooking the bay of Agadir. You can recognize the hill very easily because of the giant 'Be The Kasbah is the ancient ruined walls of the old city. It is at the top of a hill which looms up over the whole town, the hill itself has writings engraved on it in Arabic which means God, King, Country.Three things which Moroccans are not to say anything bad about. This is lit up and night and looks quite pretty. You can get a taxi up the hill it's about £1 and you can arrange for a bit extra for the driver to wait for you or you can walk back down. The view from the top is very nice; you have hills over one side and the view of Agadir over the other. There are guides who attach themselves immediately to you and walk you round explaining the ruins to you and then demand money from you afterwards. There are all also camel rides available up there which is very nice, traditional and romantic. To walk down afterwards, it takes about 45 minutes.

Souss Massa National Park

The Souss Massa National Park is greatly a rich place with varied birds coming during winter seasons from many parts of the world.A full day trip for nature lovers.We will take a drive in a 4x4 vehicle along the beach from Tifnit to Sidi Rbat. Visit the amazing bird reserve in the mouth of the Massa River.You can see here birds and goats. It could be a good alternative for fogy days.Inside the zoo there is a small waterfall with road view with wonderful sight that allows people to have a look .its not far from the beach, just leave the beach and see different birds and hear their varied voices.

Taghazout village

Is the best surf spot in Africa and Morocco.The best season for surfing is from October to April.
Situated on the north of Agadir city ,it is a surfing village that attracts many surfers from around the world ,it has a special ambiance with big waves that rock you while feel the best feelings you are looking for There are apartments for rent and also apartments for sale with sea view and balcony ,it is an incredible place.

Tiznit

Tiznit is beautiful town with walls fortifying the main city centre. Located in Agadir this place is a major attraction for tourists who visit Agadir.Go for a walk around the wall that surrounds the city.The wall built in 19th century is a nice thing to see.The Bab Al- Madher,one of the gates that lead to the city,is worth seeing. Besides this you can see a Muslim cemetery.The idea of visiting a cemetery is not good enough but tourists mostly visit the spot in order to see the white ‘Marabous tomb’.
Also visit the Source bleu which is a tribute to the town patroness Lalla Tiznit.The blue Source situated around the mosque is another major attraction for the tourists who visit the city of Tiznit.

Taroudant

If you're traveling between the Moroccan Coast and the Interior, we suggest a detour to Taroudant.  Called the "Grandmother of Marrakech" it has the feel of a small market town on some caravan route. Taroudant is noted for its local crafts and you can pick up some nice bargains here.It felt good to leave Agadir after two weeks,and the bus ride to Taroudant wasn’t bad. We soon found ourselves in an old Royal Palace,converted into a luxury hotel.We enjoyed a nice lunch of grilled chicken by the pools and fountains in the incredibly lush courtyards,replete with scurrying wait staff in white coats, rushing around trying to keep all the tourists happy.
