Agadir
In the Atlas Mountains to the south, Agadir, Morocco’s regional capital, is located. The Berber name “Agadir n Irir,” which means “fortified granary,” is reduced to “Agadir n Irir.” Due to its modern construction and expansive grounds, it is a well-known tourist destination. The beaches are peaceful and ideal for aquatic activities. At a number of resorts, you can unwind and enjoy wonderful Moroccan hospitality.

At the time, Agadir’s harbor was an important seaport supplying Sudan and Guinea. It was taken by the Irish Saad in 1541. The Berber Kingdom of Souss dominated Agadir during its golden age in the 17th century, and Moulay Ismail afterward captured it. The port was closed by Sisi Abdellah Mohammed, and a new Essouira was built, although it never regained its previous splendor.
