A real art of living
Thanks to its pretty beaches and its festive atmosphere, the former Mazagan lends itself particularly well to lazing about and a gentle lifestyle.
Treasures of the sea
The region is well-known for the quality of its shad (cousin of the sardine) and of its seafood in general. Opposite the Bastion of the Angel, on the port of El Jadida, or along the boulevard de Suez, eating in any of the numerous restaurants will let you sample this while having an enjoyable time. If the premises are simple ones, their cooking is no less delicious. Here you will be able to sample grilled sea urchins, grilled sardines and other seafood, etc. Further to the south (76km), a visit to Oualidia is a must. This charming seaside resort is well known for its oysters. You can try them on the terrace of a restaurant or directly from the oyster beds in the lagoon where they are grown. You will also be able to hire a guide and a small boat.
Beaches and golfing
There is simply too much choice... The water is calm and perfect for swimming. The beach of the chic seaside resort of Sidi-Bouzid, 3km to the south, is magnificent and the current coming from the Canaries gives it a particular freshness. Haouzia is the name of Azemmour's attractive beach to the north. The Royal Golf Club is worth the trip: its course weaves through the middle of a eucalyptus forest.
The Moulay-Abdallah moussem
Every August, this fishing village 12km south of El Jadida hosts one of the biggest moussems in Morocco. More than 200,000 people come together to take part in the festivities. The fantasia horse festivals see up to 15,000 horses gathered there!
To remember
For the stay of your dreams, what better than a good meal, a welcoming beach and the prospect of an authentic festival?
