Sidi Ifni, Atlantic coastal city in Guelmim-Oued Noun region, Morocco

The fishing port of Sidi Ifni stands on Morocco's Atlantic coast at 155 meters elevation, supporting a population of 20,051 inhabitants through maritime activities.

Spanish forces established control of Sidi Ifni in 1476, naming it Santa Cruz de la Mar Pequeña, until Morocco regained sovereignty of the territory in 1969.

The architecture of Sidi Ifni combines Spanish art deco buildings, including the Town Hall and Former Consulate, with traditional Moroccan residential structures.

Travelers reach Sidi Ifni via bus services from Agadir, located 112 miles away, with a journey time of approximately three and a half hours.

A sea cable car system, constructed in the 1960s for cargo transportation in shallow waters, remains as an engineering remnant of the city's maritime past.
