Oufella Ruins

The last vestige of medieval Agadir looms above the modern city on a hillside emblazoned with Arabic script - an inscription that translates to ‘God, Fatherland, King’. Perched on the hilltop above, the ruins of the old Kasbah or ‘Oufella’ are now dotted throughout a quiet residential area, crowned by the remains of Moulay Abdallah al-Ghalib’s 16th-century fortress.
The Oufella Ruins make a popular spot from which to watch the sunset, with magnificent views over the harbor and coast, as well as providing an atmospheric backdrop to the city at night, with the fortress and hillside inscription dramatically illuminated against the night sky.

Practical Info

The Oufella Ruins are located on the hilltop overlooking Agadir port.
