Agadir Travel Forum

Hi,

Am going to Agadir in August for three weeks. I am going to rent an apartment and was wondering how much money I need for i.e. travelling, food etc etc

We have booked the Sofitel Hotel in Agadir during May this year.My husband is confined to a wheel chair.We have now found out that the hotel is miles away from the town.IT isnt easy to get into a taxi, as his wheelchair cannot be folded.He needs to get into a vehicle whilst staying in his chair.
Is there any thing between the hotel and the town?
Will we be able to use the promenade?
How far away is the town from the Hotel?

I am due to stay at the Founty Beach ( Iberostar) from 14/5/08 and have been advised that there is a construction job in progress involving the building of a promenade and there may be some noise. Could someone please advise if the noise on this project is likely to be a nuisance and sufficient to ruin my stay.

Thanks

Hello,

We will be spending one day partly in Agadir and partly in Tourdant....we are taking a guided tour.

I have two questions.....is there a fee to enter the Medina? If so, how much is it?

And....what is an appropriate amount for a tip to our tour guide? Our tour is going to cost about 900 dh per person for the day. Is the tip 10%, 15%, or more? We know that we are going to have a wonderful time and want to tip appropriately.

I hope it is okay to tip in Moroccan money.

As part of our tour, we are going to be going somewhere for lunch...the cost of the lunch is included in the tour.....should we tip separately for the lunch? Or should we include the lunch tip with the tour tip?

I'm sorry for all the questions.....we want to do what it right and proper.

Thank you very much in advance!!

Going to Agadir in June for a week - staying at Riu Tikida Dunas. first time to
visit Morocco. First time going all -inclusive. Have read a few reviews on this
hotel - all seem to be very positive! Are they too good to be true?? It looks
like a nice place - I hope it meets all expectations ! What are the temperatures
at that time of the year - I hope it is not unbearably hot. My travelling party
consisting of 4, wanted something different - close to the beach, no hills for
climbing and a new experience. What does one dor for money exchange - use the
ATM when we get there ? Is this one of those countries where you have to leave
their currency behind? I am excited but at the same time a little apprehensive
about going to Morocco! I would appreciate any comments or advice.

Dear friends,

Is there a public bus service from Agadir to the south? For example to Laayoune. I will be in Agadir in December, and would like to travel to the W.Sahara.

And what is the best way to get to Algier from Agadir by public transport?

Regards and thanks for the answer.

Hello! I am going to be arriving on a cruise to Agadir for just one day on November 25th. I really wanted to get out of Agadir and be able to go to Taroudant for the day. I have been hitting some brick walls trying to find car hire for the day (won't rent for just one day or only manuel...pathetically I can only drive auto). Any suggestions on how three people can travel there for a day trip...car, bus, taxi...etc..??? Any detailed info is very much appreciated.

What is the best way to get from Agadir airport to our hotel in January? How much does a taxi or transfer cost?

Hi

We're spending 5 days at Agadir mid December. We'd like to do some day excursions, ideally on coach with hotel pick up and drop off. If not possible may be hire a petite taxi - any ideas as to venues and costs please

All replies gratefully welcomed.

Is it easy to hire a surfboard in agadir? and what type of boards are they?

Hello,
From 27 december to 8 january, me and my wife want to visit Morocco.
We have plane to Marrakech, where we want to spend 2-3 days and then we want to go to Agadir and/or Essaouira.
I'm interested how is the weather, beach, ocean. The ocean water is cold ?
We want to stay on the beach mostly and make some trip if the weather is not so good.
I'm interested also into a good and cheap location to stay in Marrakech, Agadir/Essaouira.
Thanks to all.

Hi...we'll be in Agadir in March, 2008

I'd like to purchase a small Moroccan made rug while there. Any suggestions as to where to find such a purchase?

Thank You!

i have justed booked a package holiday to marrakesh and now feel very silly because i did not realise that you could do such amazing tours, including accom transprt and food, sounds amazing as we want to tour around from marrakesh to agadir and then also to the atlas mountains and waterfalls, the tour you described sounds good but i don't know since i have already booked half board accomodation in marrakesh what to do, it all depends on the price of the tours,


could you write to me back on costs please

thanks

I wanted to organise a surprise for my boyfriend whilst we are on holiday. His birthday is on a Sunday and we are staying in a lovely hotel on the beach front. Any ideas, I've been surfing the net forever and have found no inspiration yet? Please help!

I am off to Agadir next Monday and need to plan a budget, so could anybody give me some idea of the food & drink prices. Cafes, Restaurants, cheap, middle & expemsive. Beer, wine, spirits etc.

Any help appreciated.

hello, my husband and i are planning to go on holiday in the middle of march to Agadir, our question is about the weather? how is it? can we go to the beach? wich clothes do we need to take with? is it a save place to go out at night? is a raining season?

I am taking 20 students who are 18 year olds to Agadir March 25 for 7 days.
I want them to have a good time and experience new things. I also want them to know how to behave is such a way as to not offend the locals.

Besides the beach what are the attractions/excursions that would be of interest to the students? Please give details of companies you would trust and prices if known.

What is the drinking age and attitudes to drinking? Plus attitudes to smoking?

My research tells me that it will be warm at the start of April... warm enough to get a suntan? What about the water temperature?

Lastly I saw a post or commment somewhere which warned visitors to ensure that any cameras etc be noted in the passport on entry otherwise they might get taxed on the way out.

Hi, what do you think of the Agadir beach club hotel??? i have heard very conflicting reports from bad to very good. I will be staying there in late April this year and can anyone tell me what the weather will be like and can you scuba dive.
Also are there any really nice seafood restaurants nearby.

My mom (56) and me (24) are looking in to a holiday in Agadir in March 2007 but are very unsure, we love the sun and looking for a relaxing beach holiday. We look for a good beach, good pool and hotel, good eating places and somewhere we won't feel unsafe as we are 2 females on their own.
We have been to Egypt (sharm el sheikh)before so understand what the culture may be like and do plan to go with an open mind.
I would really like to go somewhere different but I'm really not sure to risk going to Agadir as I have seen very mixed reviews about the area and hotels.

Should I go to the Canary Islands as a safe option instead??

Any advise please

Thanks,
Cat

First, thanks to those who responded to my question concerning airport/exchanging money. We appreciate the help.
Has anyone heard of or stayed at the Hotel Diaf? We have read that they are inexpensive and decent. We have tried to call but can't seem to get through from Oxford England. Any observations appreciated.

We will be arriving at 19:30 on a sunday night, Is there any chance that we will be able to exchange currency at the airport?
Thanks, Bill
