Agadir

Agadir (Arabic: أكادير or أݣادير or أغادير) is a major city in mid-southern Morocco. Agadir is located on the shore of the Atlantic Ocean near the foot of the Atlas Mountains, just north of the point where the Sus River flows into the ocean. It is 508 km south of Casablanca. It is the capital of the Agadir Ida-U-Tanan Prefecture and of the Sus-Massa economic region. A majority of its inhabitants speak Tashelhit Berber, one of the varieties of the Berber language.

On 29 February 1960 a 5.7 Richter earthquake buried the city and killed approximately 15,000 people. The city was later completely rebuilt with mandatory seismic standards.
