00:00This program is brought to you by Morocco, Kingdom of Light.
00:10Located in the south of Morocco, on the Atlantic coast, the unmissable seaside resort of Agadir
00:15is popular for its laid back atmosphere, the hot sand and its gulf.
00:25Join me, Immy Barkley, as I embark on this new stage of Gulf Travel Tales, exploring the beauty and excitement of Agadir like never before.
00:34The Bay of Agadir offers these sheltered waters with a wonderful intermediate swell, which is ideal for learning to surf or simply enjoying the ocean.
00:44I'm heading to nearby Tagazou to try my hand at surfing. It's only 20 minutes from Agadir. It's home to several spots with impressive waves.
00:52Hi. Hi. I'm Lokman. I'm going to be your surf coach today. Let me show you around.
00:57Oh, thank you, Lokman. So, time to get kitted out. I like the silver one.
01:02Yeah. We're going to try to find you a good size for you.
01:05Okay.
01:06Surfing looks so much fun. What kind of thrill do you get out of it?
01:09You're more connected to nature, mainly the ocean, because it's a big part of our planet.
01:14And Lokman, tell me, where are the main surf spots in Agadir?
01:18Three main spots that are more advanced, like Killer's Point, Mysteries, Anchors.
01:24And we got also the Beach Break Panorama close by, which is for beginners. So, that's what makes it a destination for everyone.
01:34Since I'm in Tagazou, I'm going to take the opportunity to hit some balls at the hilly course of the seaside resort called Tazakzou Golf.
01:49Surrounding a cliff that rises 80 meters above sea level,
01:53this 18-hole course has got these spectacular views onto the Atlantic and is dotted around with argan trees.
02:04This fun technical links course was designed by Kyle Phillips.
02:07It was also built around its environment, protecting the existing argan trees
02:12and preserving water by planting new vegetation with lower water needs.
02:21To kick off my day here in Agadir, I decided to visit Souk El Had,
02:26which houses Morocco's largest market behind its clay walls.
02:31With some 6,000 stalls offering spices, fruit, leather goods, carpets, jewelry, lamps, oils and soaps.
02:40And once I finish shopping, there's plenty more to see.
02:44Immerse yourself in Amazigh culture.
02:46Check out the Amazigh Heritage Museum to learn about their ancient cultural heritage,
02:51as well as to learn more about Amazigh culture.
02:54Immerse yourself in Amazigh culture.
02:55Check out the Amazigh Heritage Museum to learn about their ancient cultural heritage,
03:00Amazigh means free people.
03:02They have their own unique language, traditional art, music and are very proud of their culture.
03:11Agadir offers some breathtaking golf courses,
03:14and I'm going to hit the ball here at Golf du Soleil,
03:17between the sea and the mountains, situated in this beautiful eucalyptus forest.
03:25Where shall we go?
03:31Golf du Soleil has two 18-hole golf courses.
03:34The championship course is host to the Challenge Tour and EPD Tour.
03:39Wide fairways, well-defended greens and welcoming bunkers characterize this course.
03:46Eva, this course is so lush, so green.
03:50Thanks a lot.
03:51How do you manage that?
03:52It's reused water.
03:53We are sustainable since 2020 and very proud of it.
03:58Once the clubs are in order, it's time to head up to the Casbah,
04:01just a short ride on the cable car to the top.
04:04Khalid, hello.
04:05Hello, Ingrid, how are you?
04:06I'm very good, thank you.
04:08Feel welcome in the Casbah.
04:10This is a historic Casbah in Agadir Ofilla.
04:12So, let me show you around and you will have more stories inside of this Casbah.
04:18The Casbah was founded in the late 16th century,
04:21a major hub in the trans-Saharan trade caravan.
04:24And it has this breathtaking panoramic view of the city of Agadir and a stunning sunset.
04:30It really is the most perfect place to end my Agadir adventure.
04:43And whilst you're in the area, why not also stop by the Royal Golf Agadir,
