Agadir Oufella

Agadir Oufella overlooks the city and bay from the hills above Agadir. This historic site is one of the city's landmarks and offers panoramic views over Agadir, its port, beach and the Atlantic Ocean.

A visit combines the history of Agadir with one of the best viewpoints over the city. The heights can also be reached by cable car, offering another way to experience Agadir.

Why visit Agadir Oufella?

Agadir Oufella offers a different perspective on the city and helps visitors understand the geography of Agadir and its long Atlantic bay.

It is also an important place in the city's history. The old Kasbah is closely connected with Agadir before the 1960 earthquake, which profoundly changed the city.

The site is therefore worth visiting both for its panoramic views and its historical significance.

The Kasbah of Agadir Oufella

The origins of the Kasbah of Agadir Oufella date back to the 16th century. Built on a hill overlooking the bay, it once occupied an important strategic position.

The 1960 earthquake destroyed much of the old city and Kasbah. Today, the site remains an important place of memory for Agadir.

During your visit, take time to enjoy the views while also discovering the history of the site and its importance to the modern city.
