Visiting Something different, historical, and such as amazing,
memorable places in Morocco.
This old portuguese town, in 1506 the portuguese built a fortress to protect their ships and baptised it Mazagan, which soon developed into the country ‘s most important trading post.
For much of the year El Jadida is a quiet backwater, disturbed only by the crowds of Moroccans flocking to its beautiful beaches and strolling its Boulevard in July and August.
Over the last few years, both Moroccans and foreigners have started buying up property in the old walled town, including the old colonial church. North of the town on a gorgeous stretch of beach, it the recently opened tourist resort of MAZAGAN, which included Golf course, Casino, Spa and large resort hotel.
The old town of El Jadida will be given a new, if very different, lease of life in the next few years.
