Introduction: Durban is a big subtropical city on a long surf beach. It is a major port, but it is better known as a mecca for holiday makers. In the beginning it appeared as if the present harbour of Durban consisted of a great lagoon that was fed by streams. About 100 million years ago the entire coastline subsided beneath the sea and eventually rose again, but to a lower leven than before its submergence.

Durban is one of the principal cargo ports on the continent of Africa, a bustling industrial centre with a blend of African, Euopean and Asian lifestyle and a major holiday resort, thus making it an interesting cosmopolitan city.
