Day 1: Essaouira to Agadir
Planning your own trip from Essaouira to Agadir, both by car and taxi will take you around 2 hours and 36 minutes (109.6 miles) and around 2 hours by grand taxi. While you are in Essaouira enjoy a mini break in this “Wind City of Africa” by going sightseeing to Sidi Mohammed Ben Abdallah Museum or just off the coast to the southwest of Morocco is the Île de Mogador Beach. Arrange a private boat to cruise along the beach’s uninhabited islands a shelter for Eleanora’s falcons or do some fishing for fresh catch. Agadir in the contrary is a very busy port and beach resort. Unlike Essaouira, Agadir is a destination for sun and sand, totally not a windy city. Agadir’s main tourist attractions are Mohammed V and Hassan II.
