Direct flights operate daily from Amsterdam Schiphol to Agadir, with airlines such as Transavia, TUI, and Royal Air Maroc. The flight time is around 4 hours. Seasonal direct flights also depart from Eindhoven and Rotterdam.
From Belgium

Direct flights are available from Düsseldorf and Düsseldorf-Weeze, with airlines such as Condor, Eurowings, TUI Fly, and Ryanair. Average flight time is about 4 hours.
From the airport to the city
Agadir-Al Massira Airport is located about 25 kilometer south of the city. Taxis are readily available outside the terminal, with a ride to the city center taking 30–40 minutes depending on traffic. Always agree on the fare with the driver beforehand.
Budget travelers can take a bus from the airport into Agadir, though it is less frequent and slower. Often, you will still need a taxi from the bus stop to your final destination.
App-based taxis like InDrive are increasingly popular, allowing you to book via your phone and propose a fare in advance. This makes the ride faster, transparent, and hassle-free.
Train to Agadir
Agadir currently has no direct train connection. The nearest station is in Marrakesh, from where buses and taxis can take you to Agadir. Plans for a high-speed rail line (LGV) between Marrakesh and Agadir are in development, but it won’t be completed in time for the Africa Cup 2025.
Transport within Agadir
Getting around Agadir is straightforward, with options to suit every budget. The Alsa bus network forms the backbone of public transport, serving both the city and surrounding areas such as Tamri, Aït Baha, and Massa. Affordable and reliable, though sometimes crowded.
The Amalway Trambus (planned for late 2025) will introduce a modern rapid bus service on dedicated lanes, connecting Agadir’s port with the Tikiouine district.
Taxis are a convenient choice:
Grand taxis cover longer distances and run fixed routes to nearby towns and villages. Petit taxis (small orange cars) operate within city limits.
Sights in Agadir
Agadir is not just a host city, but also a destination full of sun, culture, and sights worth exploring. If you want to mix football with a holiday feel, you’ll find plenty here: from historic remains and bustling markets to modern boulevards and endless beaches.
Kasbah of Agadir Oufella
Perched high above the city, this 16th-century fortress offers breathtaking views over Agadir, its port, and the Atlantic Ocean. Although much of it was destroyed in the 1960 earthquake, it remains a must-visit, especially at sunset.
Agadir Beach
The city’s wide, sandy beach is one of its main attractions. Perfect for sunbathing, a stroll along the promenade, or beach sports. It is also a favorite meeting spot for fans during the tournament.
Souk El Had
Anyone wanting to experience local culture should not miss Souk El Had. It is one of the largest covered markets in Morocco, with thousands of stalls selling everything from spices and handicrafts to clothing and souvenirs. A visit to this colorful and lively market offers a fascinating glimpse into daily life in Agadir.
Agadir Marina
The modern marina of Agadir provides a striking contrast to the traditional markets and historic sites. Here you will find luxury yachts, cozy cafés, and international restaurants. It’s a pleasant place to stroll, enjoy a meal or simply watch the hustle and bustle of the harbor.
Vallée des Oiseaux
Right in the heart of the city lies a surprising green oasis: Vallée des Oiseaux (the Valley of the Birds). This free park is home to various bird species, small animals, and playgrounds for children. It’s a peaceful spot where visitors can escape the busy city streets for a while.
