Photo and description

Agadir Souk, located in a huge park, is the largest Moroccan market in the region. There are similar markets in almost all large cities of the country. Agadir Souk is surrounded by a high wall on all sides. You can get to the territory of the market through many entrances located from different sides of it.

Almost all of the Souk is covered with light canopies and awnings that protect customers from the hot sun. Travelers who first came here are dizzy from the number of tents, shops and stalls. In total, this market has over 6 thousand trading places. In order to greatly facilitate the search for a product of the required category, the market was specially divided into several sectors. For example, the furniture sector, the handicraft sector, and, accordingly, clothing, spices, meat products and vegetables. Also here tourists have the opportunity to buy exclusive goods. To do this, you need to look into the shops of artisans or the sector of national clothes. The main thing is to decide on the choice of goods.

Almost everything that is offered on this market was made locally or brought from nearby villages. For example, carpets and genuine leather goods are locally produced, ceramic handicrafts are delivered from Safi, and as for jewelry, merchants bring them to Tinzit and Taroudanta.

Fruits are in special demand among travelers on the Moroccan market - there are huge scattered deposits of the sweetest and juiciest golden orange oranges in the world. The prices for them here are simply ridiculous.

Going to Agadir Souk, one should not forget about dexterous traders, who can easily sell you a cheap Chinese counterfeit instead of a unique piece.
