Agadir–Al Massira Airport (AGA/GMAD) is the primary international gateway to Morocco's Souss-Massa region, located about 20 km southeast of Agadir near Temsia. Named after the 1975 Green March, it opened in the early 1990s to replace the older Agadir–Inezgane Airport and now handles strong seasonal traffic from Europe. Its single terminal and long runway serve beach, surf, and business travelers heading to Agadir, Taghazout, and Taroudant.
💡 Local Tip
If you're heading to Taghazout or Taroudant, pre-arrange a private transfer; airport taxis often charge high fixed fares and may not know smaller guesthouses, while pre-booked drivers meet you in arrivals.
🚖 Getting There
The airport is roughly 20–25 km from central Agadir, so allow 20–30 minutes by car or taxi. Taxis and rental car desks are outside arrivals; agree on the fare before departing or use an official airport taxi. Some hotels and surf camps offer pre-booked transfers, which can be simpler than negotiating at the rank.
