My birthday is in late February and Danny and I will be going with friends for 10 days.  We will be based in Agadir which is located on the Atlantic Ocean near the foot of the Altas Mountains.  It's not a typical Moroccan city as it has large buildings, wide roads, modern hotels and European-style cafes.  The city attracts tourists mainly from Europe.
