WORTH A TRIP
SOUQ AL-HAD
Leave the seafront to shop with the locals at
Souq al-Had
(Blvd Abderrahim Bouabid; Tue-Sat),
which slaps a big, messy dollop of Moroccan atmosphere onto concrete Agadir. Stalls sell everything
from jellabas (a popular flowing garment) to fish, including some good handicrafts, leatherwork and
lanterns. Among the lines of fresh fruit and veg from the Souss Valley, look out for Berber apothecar-
ies selling herbal incense, lipstick and potions that have all sorts of effects on the bowels.
Shopping
Souvenirs are often trucked into Agadir from other parts of Morocco and tend to be of low
quality, although Marrakshi vendors have started to outsource production here. The op-
tions in the centre are unatmospheric but low-pressure environments offer easy shopping.
