Agadir, the southernmost seaport town in Morocco, lies at the mouth of the Sûs, 23 miles SE. of Cape Ghir. Its harbour is the best on the coast, and it was once a place of importance; but a revolt in 1773, and the rise of Mogador in consequence, have lessened its value, and its pop. now does not exceed 1500.
