Location of the Greater Durban Region in KwaZulu-Natal
Regions
Between the coastal regions of the North Coast or Dolphin Coast and the South coast or Hibiscus Coast is the greater Durban area on the coast of the Indian Ocean. In the west it borders on the Midlands. This region corresponds to the district eThekwini, this term means port or lagoon. However, the settlement does not adhere to these limits. So is Durban Airport, the King Shaka International Airport on the site of the city La Merci, which is generally counted on the North Coast.
