Embark on a captivating half-day shore excursion from Agadir Port to the historic “Silver City” of Tiznit, where 19th-century adobe ramparts and a labyrinthine medina showcase traditional Berber architecture and centuries-old silversmithing traditions. Wander narrow alleys lined with artisan shops to witness master craftsmen at work, shaping intricate fibulae, bracelets, and crowns in the town famed for its pure silver jewelry .
