Coordinates are curated start-via-end route seeds. They are not a surveyed centreline or navigation geometry. Run road snapping, topology checks, access checks and a live-status review before publication.
Do not auto-publish. Snap to a routable road network, verify current closures, legal motorcycle access, surface, permits, border controls and local safety information.
Mar-May; Sep-Nov
Agadir is a very new city in a very old country, and the reason is the earthquake. At a few minutes before midnight on 29 February 1960, a quake destroyed most of the old town and killed thousands of people, and the city was rebuilt from scratch in a modern style, with wide avenues, low buildings and a long promenade along the bay. The one piece that survived is the hilltop kasbah, Agadir Oufella, whose ruined walls overlook the town from about two hundred metres up, bearing an inscription in Arabic that reads God, Country, King. The view from it, across the bay and the port, is the best in town.

Agadir sits at 0 km, early in the day. Next is Legzira.
Few places in Morocco photograph as well as Legzira. The beach lies on the Atlantic coast south of Agadir, near Sidi Ifni, where the sea has carved red sandstone cliffs into natural arches that reach into the surf. At low tide you can walk beneath them on the sand, and at sunset the rock glows deep orange against the grey-green water. One of the two arches collapsed in 2016, a reminder that the coast is always changing, but what remains is still impressive.
