Agadir (أكادير) is the major city of Morocco's south-west Atlantic, the seat of the Souss-Massa region. Located at roughly 30.42° north latitude and 9.60° west longitude, on the ocean's edge, it enjoys a mild, sunny climate all year round, tempered by the Atlantic. The heart of the Souss country, of Amazigh (Chleuh) culture, Agadir is a major fishing port and a seaside destination. Its low latitude produces prayer times that are relatively stable through the seasons.
Agadir has a singular history among Morocco's major cities: it was almost entirely destroyed by the earthquake of 29 February 1960, one of the deadliest disasters in the country's history. Rebuilt to modern earthquake-resistant standards a few kilometres from its original site, today's city is therefore recent and keeps no medieval monuments: its mosques are contemporary. The Souss region, deeply Amazigh, keeps an ancient religious tradition, marked by the zawiyas and rural Quranic schools, within the Maliki rite.
Religious life in Agadir sits within the Maliki Islamic tradition common to Morocco, with the cultural particularities of the Amazigh Souss. As the city is modern, its mosques are recent, but numerous and well attended, from the large Mohammed V mosque to the neighbourhood mosques. The Friday prayer brings together a population mixing Souss residents, locals and visitors to the resort. During Ramadan, the communal dimension intensifies, in keeping with the traditions of the Souss and the rest of the Kingdom.
As everywhere in Morocco, the Hijri calendar in Agadir follows rukyat, the official sighting of the crescent moon announced by the Ministry of Habous. The clear, sunny sky of the Souss has historically made lunar observation easier, even though the official decision rests with the Ministry in Rabat. This method can produce a one-day difference from the Saudi calendar, notably for Ramadan and the two Eids. During Ramadan, Morocco suspends summer time, shifting prayer times by about an hour.
The low latitude (~30.4° N) and the oceanic position give Agadir relatively stable prayer times and generous sunshine all year. In winter, Fajr is observed around 06:30 and Maghrib around 18:00; in summer, Fajr falls around 04:45 and Isha around 21:45–22:15 depending on the method. The mild climate and the open ocean horizon keep the solar markers sharp, particularly for Maghrib, whose sunset over the Atlantic is a striking marker of the day.
As Agadir is a city rebuilt after 1960, its mosques are contemporary. Here are some of the most notable, referenced on mainstream maps.

The Hijri dates shown follow the Moroccan lunar calendar, which is based on the official rukyat (moon sighting) and can differ by a day from the Saudi calendar. Note that Morocco moves its clock back by one hour during Ramadan.
