An overview of Agadir's history

Agadir, located on the Atlantic coast, is a modern city rising from the ashes after the devastating earthquake of 1960. Its name, which means "collective granary" in Amazigh, bears witness to its historic role as a strategic point for trade and agriculture. Although its historic monuments have been largely destroyed, Agadir has managed to reinvent itself as a popular seaside destination, with modern facilities and a friendly atmosphere.
