Around El Jadida

Atlantic port south of Casablanca whose 16th-century Portuguese City of Mazagan, with its underground cistern, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Why visit El Jadida

Inside the ramparts of the Portuguese City, the vaulted cistern reflects its columns in a thin sheet of water; the walls can be walked for views over the port and the ocean.

Long beaches stretch on both sides of the town, and the old town of Azemmour, on the Oum Er-Rbia river, is a short drive north.
