Agadir

Morocco / Souss Massa-Draa / Agadir /
 city, capital city of state/province/region

Agadir has a population of 678,596 (2004; census figures for the agglomeration include the nearby cities of Inezgane and Aït Melloul). The mild winter climate and good beaches have made it a major "winter sun" destination for Northern Europeans. Agadir is an important fishing and commercial port, the first sardine port in the world.
Because of its large buildings, wide roads, modern hotels,and European-style cafés, Agadir is not a typical city of traditional Morocco.
