At the crossroads of civilisation, where the
Mediterranean meets the Atlantic Ocean, Tangier flaunts its magnificent bay
below lush green hills. From the "Place de la Kasbah", the highest point in
the medina, you can visit the sultan's palace where every aspect of moroccan
art can be seen in the rooms round the courtyard. Or you can stroll down
alleyways of the medina to the terrace overlooking the straits of Gibraltar.
Close by, various excursions can be made including Cape Spartel -the extreme
north- westerly point of Africa, close to the famous Caves of Hercules and
Cape Malabata. |

One of newly independent
Morocco's greatest challenges must surely have been the reconstruction of a
city totally destroyed by the earthquake of February 1960. The will and
détermination of a young King, Hassan II, on the throne for scarcely a year,
gave reality to the hopes of an entire nation in seeing Agadir reborn form
the ashes.
These days it is a fine
modern city with a host of excellent hotels, wide avenues, gardens in bright
bloom, a magnificent port and a first-rate airport-and, above all, a
splendid beach stretching for six kilometres, the air scented by pine,
eucalyptus and tamarisk.
Agadir's réputation as a
beach resort has spread worldwide. From a cliff-road flanking the hill, the
Old Kasbah, dating from the 16th century, overlooks the azure spread of the
ocean, the verdant valleys of the Great Souss and the majestic slopes of the
Anti-Atlas. Agadir is not only the kingdom's main fishing-port, it is also
its first holiday haven, and the city is very much organized around seeing
to the comfort of its visitors. |
