Opening of the Kasbah Agadir Oufella

It is with great pleasure that we announce the official opening of the interior of the Kasbah d’Agadir Oufella to the public, as of this Saturday, February 3, 2024. After more than 3 years of restoration and development, this historic and emblematic monument of the city of Agadir is now open to visitors.

As you pass through the gates of the Kasbah, you’ll step back in time and discover a fascinating site. Built in the 16th century by the Saadian sultan Mohammed ech-Cheikh, the Kasbah was once an important military and commercial center.

A 45-50 minute tour of the Kasbah reveals the history of this emblematic site of Agadir and the entire Souss Massa region, as you walk along an elevated network of wooden walkways that follow the layout of the citadel’s old streets in the early 20th century.

In addition to information panels on the history of the Kasbah d’Agadir Oufella, a mediation and audioguide service is available to visitors.

The audioguides, available in 5 languages (Arabic, Tachelhit, English, Spanish and French), enable visitors to explore the Kasbah and hear first-hand accounts of each chapter in the fortress’s history. This service is available via audioguides that visitors can use on site, as well as through a mobile application that allows them to follow the tour on their smartphones.

From Agadir, the Kasbah can be reached using tourist transport, the cable car, the dedicated bus, a cab or by taking the 2.8 km hiking trail.

Tickets for access and mediation/audioguide services can be purchased on site at the reception and ticket office, or online via the Kasbah website https://www.agadir-oufella.ma/en
