Agadir

Agadir (Arabic: أݣادير), is located on the shore of the Atlantic Ocean near the foot of the Atlas Mountains, just north of the point where the Souss River flows into the ocean.

It is 509 kilometres (316 mi) south of Casablanca. 

Agadir is the capital of the Agadir Ida-U-Tanan Prefecture and of the Souss-Massa economic region. The majority of its inhabitants speak Berber, one of Morocco's two official languages.

Agadir is one of the major urban centres of Morocco. The municipality of Agadir recorded a population of 924,000 in the 2014 Moroccan census. 

Agadir was the site of the 1911 Agadir Crisis that exposed tensions between France and Germany, foreshadowing the Great War. 

The city was destroyed by an earthquake in 1960; it has been completely rebuilt to mandatory seismic standards. It is now the largest seaside resort in Morocco, where foreign tourists and many residents are attracted by an unusually mild year-round climate. Since 2010 it has been well served by low-cost flights and a motorway from Tangier.
