The popular market of Berber crafts
Souk el Had means the Sunday market because it used to take place only on Sundays. The souk was built after the terrible earthquake that devastated the ancient city of Agadir in 1960. It is open 6 days a week with a closure every Monday for the weekly cleaning. The market looks like a fortress with its 6-meter-high terracotta walls that stretch over 1025 meters long.
The fortifications reflect the architectural heritage of the Souss region. You can find absolutely everything there! Fruits and vegetables galore, local products including the famous Amlou, the delicious Berber spread that is unanimously appreciated. All sorts of spices and herbs, Moroccan handicrafts, furniture, clothing, household appliances, tapestry … there is something for every taste and every budget.
