Saidia

One of Morocco's longest stretches of Mediterranean beach runs through Saidia, a small coastal town in the country's northeast, where golden sand and a mild climate draw resort visitors year-round. The marina hosts hundreds of berths alongside restaurants and shops, and a traditional folk music festival takes place each August. The town sits beside the Moulouya National Park, a marsh and woodland bird preserve, with the Algerian border just to the east.
