Souq Al Had

Top choice in Agadir


A massive, rambling jumble of over 6,000 stalls with all the atmosphere you'd want from the largest souq in the region. On offer are spices, pottery, produce and even garments for the mosque or football practice. If something doesn't fit, drop it off at a tailor on the outskirts of the souq – he'll knock it into shape right quick.
