AourirPass-by Only
Aourir, often nicknamed the “Banana Village”, is a small rural town located about 12 km north of Agadir in the Souss-Massa region. The name comes from the many banana plantations that line the main road and the banks of the Tamraght River. According to local legend, musician Jimi Hendrix helped popularize this nickname during a visit in the 1960s. The village is known for its laid-back, authentic atmosphere, offering a peaceful contrast to the bustle of Agadir. Every Wednesday, the weekly souk draws locals from the surrounding areas to shop for fresh produce — especially bananas — and enjoy the lively ambiance.

Kasbah Agadir Oufella
Agadir Oufella, also known as the Kasbah of Agadir, is a historic fortress perched atop a hill 236 meters above sea level, overlooking the city of Agadir and its port. Built in the 16th century by the Saadian Sultan Mohammed ech-Cheikh to monitor Portuguese settlements along the coast, it played a strategic role in the region's defense. The name "Agadir Oufella" translates to "the upper fortress" in Amazigh.
