For the rest of the year, the weather remains warm and pleasant, albeit with a higher chance of rain and clouds. Average temperatures during this period tend to be more moderate, making it a comfortable time to explore the city.

Public Transport

The central parts of Agadir are very walkable, but if you get tired, there are plenty of local buses to take you to nearby beaches or city suburbs. Remember to have coins to pay for the ticket since the driver doesn't carry a lot of change. The main local bus station is located next to the main grand taxi stand at the south end of Rue de Fes, approximately 20 minutes by car from the city centre. It is very usual to arrive at Inezgane though, which is the bus hub of the region.

Taxi

By far the easiest and quickest way to get around town is by the cream-coloured Grand taxi or the orange Petit taxi. You can find them either at the taxi rank at the south end of Rue de Fes or Rue Yacoub el-Mansour in New Talborjt, or by hailing one off the street. The Petit taxis are only allowed to drive within the city. The Grand taxis only take a minimum of 6 passengers, but you can also pay extra and hire the whole taxi. Fares are charged on the meter or discussed in advance.

Electricity

In Morocco, you will encounter two types of electrical outlets: Type C and Type E, both with round prongs. The country's electrical system runs on a 220V supply voltage and a frequency of 50Hz. Make sure to bring appropriate adaptors if your devices are not compatible with these specifications.
