Agadir-Ida-Ou-Tanane Prefecture

The prefecture extends along the Atlantic coast and encompasses thirteen municipalities, including the capital city of Agadir and multiple coastal settlements.

Following the 1960 earthquake that destroyed much of Agadir, the prefecture underwent significant reconstruction and established new administrative boundaries.

The communities within the prefecture maintain strong Amazigh traditions through local festivals, traditional markets, and the widespread use of Tachelhit language.

The region contains multiple transportation links, including Mohammed V International Airport and a network of roads connecting coastal and mountain communities.

The prefecture combines Atlantic beaches suitable for surfing with Paradise Valley's mountain pools, allowing visitors to experience both environments within short distances.
