Agadir is a main city in southwest Morocco. It is the capital of Agadir province (MA-AGD) and the Sous-Massa-Draa economic region. The name of the city means in Berber "wall, enclosing a town ". It is a loanword from Phoenician. The estimated population of the metropolitan area was around 678,596 in 2004. The metropolitan area includes the nearby cities of Inezgane and Aït Melloul. The population of the city proper is estimated at 200,000. The mild winter climate and good beaches have made it a major “winter sun” destination for Northern Europeans. The mayor is Tariq Kabbaj.


The city is situated on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean, close to the base of Atlas Mountains, just north of the point where the Souss River flows into the ocean. The city is a vital fishing and commercial port, the first sardine port in the world. It is also a seaside resort with a long sandy beach. Because of its large buildings, wide roads, modern hotels, and European-style cafés, the city is not a typical city of traditional Morocco, but it is a modern, busy and dynamic town. The city is famous for its sea food and agriculture. The city is surrounded by Secteur Touristique, Founty, Iligh, Sonaba, Ihchach, Les Amicales, City Centre, Nouveau Talborjt, Cité Suisse, Lakhiyam, Dakhla, Extension Dakhla, Al Houda, Salam, Riad Assalam, Hay al Hassani, Anza, L’Erac, Quartier Industriel Tasila, Tilila, Quartier Residentiel and Quartier Al mohammadi.

The city is served by the Al Massira Airport. In the ancient times, the city was only a fishing village, Agadir el-arba`. In 1505 the Portuguese founded a trading post named Santa Cruz do Cabo de Gué, under a governor. In 1541, the city came under Wattasid control and in 1572 a stronghold was built on the top of the hill overlooking the bay, the Kasbah. Agadir became prosperous for two centuries. But in 1731, the town was completely destroyed by an earthquake. The economy of the city is based on tourism and fisheries. Agricultural activities are based around the city.
