ITINERARY

Agadir is Southern Morocco’s most visited city and a very popular tourist destination. Its sandy shores, modern coastal city “feel” and dozens of hotels are now a huge attraction. Soak up the sun on the well-maintained beaches of Agadir.

Palm-lined boulevards and beachfront bars add a decidedly western resort feel, amplified by the hoards of Europeans who flock here in the winter months. Ride a camel, rent a beach buggy or check out the Suq al-Had market, filled with the spices of North Africa. Take the 20-minute walk up to the ruins of the Agadir Kasbah for expansive city views.

Perfectly located in front of the beach, the Agadir Beach Club Hotel is close to the train station. The hotel is also nearby the main streets of the city surrounded by bar, restaurants and other commodities.

This waterfront hotel features plenty of well-equipped guestrooms and suites that are nicely decorated. You can witness beautiful views of sea or the pool from the rooms. Specially designed rooms for the easy access of physically disabled guests are also available.

Restaurant
Guests can choose from the 4 dining venues that serve a varied selection of Moroccan, Italian and international specials.

Fully equipped conference rooms are also available for guests travelling on business. Recreational facilities at the hotel premises include a tennis court, gymnasium, swimming pool and sauna.

Things to See & Do

The Valley of the Birds (daily from 09:30-12:30 and 14:30-18:00)

This narrow strip of parkland draws a large variety of bird species all year round. A number of aviary’s, a zoo, waterfall and a playground for your children make this a great venue for families.

The Municipal Museum (Mon-Sat 10:00-19:00)

Honestly, not a terribly exciting destination, but fun for a quick perusal of some local arts and crafts.

Jardim de Olhao (daily 08:00-18:30)

This lovely outdoor area has a well groomed garden and children’s playground. The walls and structures in the garden are styled to the original Berber Style. There’s a small gallery that exhibits local artists as well as a cute cafe-restaurant.

Ancienne Talborjt

This plateau just west of the city center is somewhat of a shrine for friends and family of the over 15 000 people killed in the 1960 earthquake. A small mosque and an uncompleted memorial garden provides a somber setting for relatives and friends to walk and pray in remembrance of their lost loved ones.

Cuisine & Nightlife

There are plenty cafes and restaurants that stay open quite late. Catering for all budgets, there are many restaurants that serve traditional Moroccan cuisine. Otherwise, if you feel like something ‘ethnic’, you’ll be able to find an eatery with alterative choices.

Itinerary

Day One

Depart the U.S and begin your Gourmet Adventure!

Day Two – Cape Town

You are met at Cape Town airport by our representative and handed your travel documents. You travel into Cape Town and check in at the 4-star Winchester Mansions, situated on the Atlantic seaboard with uninterrupted sea views. It is five minutes’ drive from the trendy Victoria & Alfred Waterfront. This charming and gracious hotel offers its guests understated elegance and service. The luxurious rooms have sea or mountain views. Sip sundowners whilst viewing the spectacular ocean sunsets and relax around the decked pool. There is an in-house spa offering health and beauty treatments. The Winchester Mansions’ in-house restaurant, Harvey’s, is fast becoming a culinary hot spot in Cape Town. Hard to find among Cape Town restaurants today, Harvey’s offers discerning diners an appetising taste of traditional Cape cuisine. The Harvey’s Bar, adjoining the restaurant, allows you to enjoy arguably Cape Town’s best view – the sun slipping into the Atlantic – while sipping a long cocktail on the terrace. The rest of this afternoon is at leisure to relax or you can take an optional half-day city tour of one of the one of the world’s most beautiful cities. You will visit the historic Castle and the Bo-Kaap Malay Quarter with its narrow cobbled streets and colourful mosques. You view the Houses of Parliament and then, weather-permitting, you will ride the cable car up Table Mountain to enjoy the view over Cape Town and across Table Bay to Robben Island (cable car fare is not included in tour price). If the weather is inclement, you will be taken on a scenic drive up Signal Hill. You will be dropped off at the hotel after the tour. Accommodation: Winchester Mansions Basis: Bed & Breakfast
