agadir

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'moroccan location' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'aura surrounding old tribe' is the wordplay.
'aura' becomes 'air' (synonyms).
'surrounding' indicates putting letters inside.
'old tribe' becomes 'gad' (I've seen this before. I am not sure about the 'old' bit.).
'air' enclosing 'gad' is 'AGADIR'.

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for agadir that I've seen before include "in Africa" , "Port in south-west Morocco" , "North African port" , "City in Morocco" , "Moroccan port" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
