Suss-Massa-Draa, Former administrative region in central Morocco.
Suss-Massa-Draa was an administrative region that connected coastal plains, mountain ranges, and desert zones, linking economically important cities like Agadir and Taroudant. The territory bridged the fertile valleys of the west with the drier landscapes of the south, creating a transition between Atlantic lands and Saharan areas.
The region was officially created in 1997 through administrative reforms that combined several previous territorial structures under unified governance. In 2015, it was dissolved and divided into two new regions, with parts becoming Souss-Massa and others joining Drâa-Tafilalet.
The population of over 3.1 million people in this region communicated through different languages, including the Tashelhit variant known as tasoussit.
The territory is no longer a single administrative unit today, so visitors can explore the individual cities and regions separately. It helps to understand the new regional boundaries when planning travel and finding current services in each area.
The territory maintained a population density of 51 inhabitants per square kilometer across its diverse geographical zones, from Atlantic shores to inland valleys.
