Remarkable natural treasures
The second largest lagoon in the Mediterranean basin. An exceptional birdlife. Spectacular underwater landscapes. Some of the most beautiful beaches in Morocco. Hiking trails well known to insiders. All this in a country where tourist arrivals reached a record 10 million in 2024 (+15%). These are just a few of the assets that define the Marchica destination.
A strategic crossroads between Europe and Africa
Inspired by the remarkable success of the Tanger Med port, the Nador West Med port is preparing to boost the economic attractiveness of the Oriental region by 2026. The vast industrial-port complex, located 30 km from the city of Nador, is already paving the way for the most promising business opportunities between Africa and the rest of the world.
A project rooted in new trends
The vital need to return to nature. The quest for authenticity, meaning, and truth. The search for innovative and unusual experiences. The growing concern about human impact on the shared environment. These are all insights shaping emerging trends in tourism and living worldwide—and all characteristics concentrated in the Marchica offering.
Optimal connectivity
With three international airports nearby (Nador, Oujda, Al Hoceima) and increased flight frequencies, Marchica enjoys exceptional air service. Strengthening maritime connections via the new port of Ben Ensar are complemented by a renewed road and highway network (Nador to Rabat in less than 4 hours from 2028!).
A year-round destination
Birdwatching discoveries, golf courses, green walks, beaches, water sports, marina, and MICE facilities free the Marchica destination from seasonal constraints. Added to this diverse tourism appeal is a mild Mediterranean climate that allows visitors to enjoy Nador’s ecotourism gem all year round.
Greater Nador in full expansion
The economic momentum, palpable across Greater Nador (+2,500 companies in 2023), benefits from the massive inflow of remittances from the Moroccan diaspora. A pool of 81 billion dirhams (in 2024), a quarter of which is captured by the Oriental region alone, with 2 billion dirhams dedicated solely to real estate investment.
A project full of meaning
To preserve Mediterranean ecosystems sustainably while creating the essential economic prosperity for the well-being of the communities in the Nador province. This is the noble goal of the Marchica Med project. It offers you the opportunity to invest responsibly through a territorial transformation with a triple impact: ecological, economic, and social.
