Souk El Had: The market of Agadir, the largest in Morocco and Africa

Souk El Had is considered the largest urban market in Africa. It spans over 13 hectares and houses nearly 3000 shops. From a distance, it resembles a fortress with its 6-meter high walls, pierced by 13 large gates. Inside, the market square is divided into several distinct wings, among which you can find the vegetable and fruit market.

Due to its central location, the market is accessible from all parts of the city. You can reach it by car, taxi (both large and small), bus, and even on foot. Note that it is closed on Mondays for weekly cleaning.

Souk El Had successfully combines modernity with tradition. The area has been renovated while retaining its Amazigh charm, replacing tents with shops and commercial tiles. Nevertheless, the atmosphere remains authentically vibrant, and the shopping experience has become much more pleasant.
