For a cultural, crazy, cosy week away, look no further than the marvellous Morocco. Where snake charmers wander looking for tips, religion rules the roost and extreme temperatures take there toll. This marvellous place offers something unique which you won't find in most other tourist resorts. Visit Agadir where you'll find some stunning, five star properties, a beautiful promenade with beaches which stretch as far as the eye can see and an up and coming harbour with modern, trendy shops being erected to create a contemporary, cool harbour.
The hotels here offer All Inclusive packages which will entice you to remain in the grounds all day long, but you must go for a wander as there's so much of Morocco not to miss out on.
Overlooked by the Atlas Mountains like a barrier against all to protect this spectacular city, they glow in the night's sky with astounding religious, Arabic writing etched into its cliff face. Standing aloof overlooking the coastline is the fabulous, infamous Kasbah. The Kasbah is home to many street performers, snake charmers and farmers with their sheep offering tourists to have there picture taken...for a price! The Kasbah is situated on top of the mountain and tour operators offer trips up there, alternatively, agree a price with a taxi driver and he will take you up and show you around, again, for a price!
Local cuisine is an absolute delight, with couscous being the specialty on any menu followed by kefta (kebabs) and tagines (spicy stew). There are many restaurants outside of the hotel which offer the same Moroccan food and the odd English bar offering English food, which still tastes like Moroccan cuisine.
When it comes to buying gifts for friends and family, don't miss out on the all day market at The Grand Souk. With over 20 entrances into this gigantic market, it can be very easy to get lost. Hire a guide outside and he will ensure you get around the best way possible and will take you to the best stalls to suit your needs. Selling everything from fresh fruit and live produce, fake Gucci watches to leather goods. You can grab an absolute bargain here, but not without a good old haggle. The stall owners will act like they don't bargain, but trust me, keep at it and you'll walk away with what you want at the price you want.
Nightlife here is fairly tame, with very few bars and clubs outside of large hotels. The majority of five star hotels here usually offer several bars, a piano bar and a mediocre nightclub offering music from the nineties. Most hotels provide a trip to the Sofitel Agadir Royalbay Resort, or if you're lucky enough to be staying their, visit the popular nightclub, offering the best entertainment and music along with occasional live entertainment and plush dining facilities.
Agadir is a must-see for all who enjoy seeing a different culture, local ways and fantastic beaches. You'll probably come home with more in your case than you went with, along with a fantastic tan and a new found love for Morocco. Cheap package holidays to Morocco are fairly easy to find, look through all major tour operators to compare prices, wait until the last minute then bag your bargain before anyone else does.
