🇲🇦 The Ultimate Travel Guide to Agadir, Morocco's Coastal Gem 📖✨

Tired of the endless UK rain ☔, limited vacation days, and no Schengen visa? Agadir—just a 3-hour direct flight away—was my perfect 3-day escape for sun, sea, and relaxation! 🌞🏖️ 💰 About Money ✔ Currency: Moroccan Dirham (MAD) | 1 MAD ≈ 0.7 RMB ⚠️ Avoid the first exchange booth at the airport—terrible rates! 💶 Euros accepted in most places, but dirhams are better for small purchases. 📱 About SIM Cards ✔ Buy a local SIM at Agadir Airport: 10GB for 100 MAD (≈£8) — fast & reliable coverage! 📶 🌴 Top Attractions 📍 Camel Ride at the Old Fort (Agadir Oufella) 🐪 80 MAD for a scenic loop + photos 📸 (windy but EPIC views!) 📍 Souk El Had Market 🛍️ Bought useless-but-pretty souvenirs (cheap = happy! 😆) Fresh lemon-sugar cane & orange juice 🍹 = MUST-TRY! So. Many. Cats. � 📍 Private Beach at RIU Hotel 🏖️ Less crowded, cleaner than Sunset Beach Met a super-friendly surf instructor (only 15€/hour 🏄‍♂️) who gave me a farewell gift! 🎁 🚖 Getting Around ✔ Skip buses—too slow! 🚌❌ ✔ Use ride-hailing apps (metered pricing = no scams! 🚕💨) ⚠️ Taxi vs. ride-hail drama: Avoid hailing near angry taxi drivers! 🍽️ Food Guide ✔ Walk-ins rarely disappoint! ✔ Budget: ~150 MAD/meal for great local food 🥘 ✔ "Fancy" seafood dinner: 300 MAD (worth it though! 🦞) 💡 Tipping: 10-15% if service is good, but refuse outrageous demands! 💭 Final Thoughts Chatting with my surf instructor, I learned Agadir’s ancient hills once spelled "KING GOD COUNTRY" in stones 🏔️. Moments like these—connecting with strangers—remind me why I travel: to see the world through new eyes. 👁️✨ #MoroccoTravel #Agadir 🌊 #UKGetaway ✈️ #NoVisaNeeded 🎉 #BeachLife 🏖️ #BudgetTravel 💰 #SoloTravel 👩‍🦰 #HiddenGems 💎
