Massa River

While you come to Agadir in Morocco, you need to get a feel of this unique city near to the famed Sahara desert. The city is contemporary in look with clear clean streets and groves of palm trees beckoning you with a rare charm. Agadir boasts of beaches and a port both of which are added fun in this city so calm and pure. Time stands still as you watch the wave’s splash up and go down encircling some foam.

While you leave Agadir, you have to cross a large arid area adulterating to Ait- barrier strip. The place is fabled to be an area where the whole city is buried, beneath the sand. The land of Massa is celebrated as a place where ships from Europe would visit; it acted as a port almost in its function. River Massa flows through the land and the land derives its name from the river, which is there from ancient times. Come 1991 a National park was inaugurated at the mouth of the Massa River and was named as the Souss Massa National Park. The Bay of Massa River is sand blocked forming a lake, which runs to the Atlantic just south of the Village of Sidi Rbat only during the high tides. The southern margin of the lake is awash with sand dunes, the northern area is laced with mud banks and land areas infested with Bushy plants generally burned to produce a crude soda ash.
