Revitalizing Morocco’s Historic Medinas: An Investment Worth 7.9 Billion Dirhams
Morocco is set to breathe new life into its 21 old medinas with a whopping investment of 7.9 billion dirhams, as announced by Head of Government Aziz Akhannouch. This ambitious program aims to not only restore and preserve the architectural heritage of the historic medinas but also enhance the living conditions of their inhabitants while promoting their cultural richness.
The restoration projects will not only benefit the local communities but also boost Morocco’s tourism industry, with popular destinations like SalĂ©, Meknes, Fez, Tetouan, Marrakech, and Essaouira set to receive a facelift. Collaborative efforts from various entities including the Mohammed V Foundation for Solidarity, the Ministry of Tourism, and the Hassan II Fund for Economic and Social Development indicate a unified approach towards this monumental project.
