Agadir–Al Massira Airport (AGA)

Agadir–Al Massira Airport (AGA)

Al-Massira Airport is located 28 km from the city centre. To get to and from the airport you can take a bus or taxi. Local bus number 22 goes from the airport to Inezgane, a suburb of Agadir. The last bus leaves at 8:30 pm. From Inezgane to Agadir city centre, you can take bus number 20, 24 or 28. If you would rather take a shared taxi, it will cost you about the same. A taxi ride from the airport to Agadir takes about 20 minutes. It is also possible to hire a vehicle from any of the car rental agencies at the airport.

Best Time to Visit Agadir

Best Time to Visit Agadir

The ideal time to visit Agadir largely depends on your tolerance for heat. June through August mark the peak tourist season, with temperatures reaching their highest (22–27 ºC). For the rest of the year, the weather remains warm and pleasant, albeit with a higher chance of rain and clouds. Average temperatures during this period tend to be more moderate, making it a comfortable time to explore the city.

Public Transport

Public Transport

The central parts of Agadir are very walkable, but if you get tired, there are plenty of local buses to take you to nearby beaches or city suburbs. Remember to have coins to pay for the ticket since the driver doesn't carry a lot of change. The main local bus station is located next to the main grand taxi stand at the south end of Rue de Fes, approximately 20 minutes by car from the city centre. It is very usual to arrive at Inezgane though, which is the bus hub of the region.

Taxi

Taxi

By far the easiest and quickest way to get around town is by the cream-coloured Grand taxi or the orange Petit taxi. You can find them either at the taxi rank at the south end of Rue de Fes or Rue Yacoub el-Mansour in New Talborjt, or by hailing one off the street. The Petit taxis are only allowed to drive within the city. The Grand taxis only take a minimum of 6 passengers, but you can also pay extra and hire the whole taxi. Fares are charged on the meter or discussed in advance.

Post

Post

Stamps can be bought at souvenir shops, hotels and at post offices around town. The larger outlets are open Monday to Friday 8am–4:15pm and Saturday 8am–11:45am. The main post office can be found at on Avenue du Prince Moulay Abdellah.
