Morocco

The city is located 60 km from El Jadida and 66 km from the provincial capital, Safi.

It is an internationally renowned beach resort that sits in a large coastal lagoon protected from the ocean. Fish and seafood abound. Oualidia was founded in 1634 by Sultan El Oualid, who built a fortress to protect the natural harbour. It is also very well known for its oyster culture.

In the upper part of the city, you can still see some remains of its kasbah, built in 1634. On the side of the path down to the lagoon is the palace of King Mohammed V, awaiting restoration.

One of the attractions of Oualidia is its lagoon, which has a longitude of 12 kilometers and is lined with sandy beaches and dunes. Fish are plentiful, along with seafood and oysters.
This lagoon with calm waters is ideal for swimming. Birdwatchers will have the opportunity to see flamingos and other birds.

To the south, outside the bay, is the beautiful Karam Daif beach, open, wide and very well maintained, with a blue flag.Læs mere
