Located in the western part of the Western Sahara region, bordering the Atlantic Ocean, Laayoune is the largest city and de facto administrative center of the region, currently controlled by Morocco. A former Spanish colonial capital, Laayoune is a fusion of Arab, Berber and Spanish cultures, with modern and traditional architecture. Located on the edge of the Sahara Desert, the climate is arid with little rain, hot summers and mild winters. The local economy is based on fishing, phosphate mining and services, with a population of about 200,000, mostly Arab and Berber. Despite the international controversy over the status of Western Sahara, Laayoune remains an important transportation hub and economic center in the region, attracting commerce and population movements from surrounding areas.
