Morocco's most important port city in western Morocco along the Atlantic coast, formerly called Mogador. Inhabited since prehistory, the present fortified design was built in the 18th century using European designs. The city's narrow, winding streets connect sections of various cultural heritages, such as the Islamic Medina (a UNESCO World Heritage Site), the former kasbah, the Jewish quarter (Mellah), and many churches of various traditions.

The protected beach is a popular windsurfing and kitesurfing hotspot, due to its strong wind and smooth surf. Because the wind frequently blows sand horizontally, it is not the ideal beach for general beachcombing.
