GENERAL
If you have a passport form the EU or UK you don´t need a visa for touristic purposes. Your passpord must be valid for the duration of your stay and you can stay in Morocco until 3 months.
The moroccan currency is the Dirham. Exchange rates at the last time of checking were around 12DH to £1, 10DH to 1€, and 8DH to 1$. You can exchange money directly at the airport or in Agadir. There is an ATM right next to our hotel.
Agadir is an all-year-round destination for perfect weather with over 300 days of sunshine per year.
In the summer months (May- September) there is small to medium swells, perfect time to have a lot of fun in the water. The winter Months are famous for its variety of world class waves. There is something for everyone, from ideal beginner waves to challenging reef ledges.
There are many cafes, some few restaurants and a small market, where you can buy fresh fruits and vegetables. There are also pharmacies and small shops for groceries.
Morocco is a liberal Islamic country, but still has its local customs and traditions. It is better to show respect to the locals and don´t walk in bathing clothes around the village except from the beach. For women, simply covering your legs and midriffs around town is the most respectful. Don´t forget to bring also warm clothes for the evenings, as it can get quite chilly.
