Agadir

Agadir is a coastal city in Morocco, located on the Atlantic Ocean near the Atlas Mountains, roughly 500km south of Casablanca. As the capital of the Souss-Massa region, it’s a significant urban centre with a population of over 500,000. Agadir is a fascinating blend of cultures, recognised as a key hub for Berber traditions – with a substantial percentage of the population speaking Berber languages like Tachelhit.

Rebuilt after a devastating earthquake in 1960 to modern seismic standards, Agadir now offers a relaxed, year-round mild climate. It’s well-connected via a motorway and increasingly accessible with low-cost flights, making it a practical base for digital nomads. Expect a vibrant local scene alongside a growing international presence, and a unique cultural experience beyond the typical tourist trail.
