MOGODOR, or SURAH, a seaport-town of Morocco, situated on the Atlantic, 125 miles W.S.W. of Morocco, Lat. 31° 50' N., Long. 9° 20' W. It is built on a rocky eminence, surrounded by low sandy ground which at high-water is overflowed by the sea, leaving the town in an insulated position. The town, which is of an irregular form, consists of two parts, one of which, called the Citadel, is inhabited by Moors, while the other is occupied by Jews. Mogador is walled and fortified; but its defences, which are the work of Genoese engineers, are of no great strength. The streets are straight but narrow; and the houses are large and flat-roofed, but present a somewhat gloomy appearance. The principal buildings are the mosques, some of which are very handsome, the palace of the pasha, custom-house, arsenal, &c. The harbour of Mogador is formed by an island of the same name, which lies about a third of a mile to the S. of the town; and although it is much exposed, it is considered the best harbour on the coast. It might, however, be much improved. The city is supplied with water by an aqueduct, built by the present emperor, which conveys water from a river at the distance of a mile and a half to several tanks in different parts of the town. The trade of Mogador is considerable, and is chiefly in the hands of the Jews. The principal articles of export are wool, gum, wax, hides, skins, almonds, honey, ostrich feathers, ivory, gold-dust, &c.; the imports are iron, hardware, glass, woollens, linens, cottons, sugar, pepper, &c. The value of the exports in 1855 was L.284,078, and that of the imports L.167,718.
