Inezgane

Inezgane ( Amazigh: ⵉⵏⴻⵣⴳⵯⴰⵏ , Arabic: إنزگان ) is the capital of Inezgane-Aït Melloul Prefecture located on the north bank of the Sous River, about 11.5 km (7.1 mi) south of Agadir, on the Atlantic Ocean coast of Morocco. It is in some ways a suburb to the larger Agadir, but unlike the tourism-centered Agadir, Inezgane is a typical Moroccan/Berber city. Located where the N1, N8 and N10 highways meet, Inezgane is an important transport hub in the region of Souss-Massa.

Despite our efforts to list all useful information on Moroccan cities and municipalities, including the City Inezgane, we are not affiliated with the town hall or the state. For administrative procedures at the town hall Inezgane, find below the town hall contact details, as well as local information about the municipality and its inhabitants.

Inezgane is well known for its souks and silver jewellery, as well as for its vegetable, fruit, and spice market. Tuesday is the main market day, when people come from all the villages nearby to sell their goods and buy provisions for the week.

The name Inezgan might be derived from the Amazigh word ⴰⵏⵣⵉⴳ-ⴰⵏ French Anzig-an meaning "The cave" or "That cave", as there were and are caves in this area.
