The Lengaventura organization has to admit that this small fishing village in Morocco on the Atlantic coast between El Jadida and Safi is its personal favourite spot along Morocco's coastline. The nearest airport Casablanca is 160 kilometers away. The last stage of the drive to Oualidia is already promising with spectacular landscapes and oceanview.

The town is named after the last Sultan from the Saadienne dynasty. In the upper part of Oualidia, visitors can still appreciate some traces of his Casbah, which was built in 1634.

The village is divided in an upper and lower part. The upper part is where the daily life takes place. Many small businesses, restaurants, banks, pharmacies and internet cafés offer their services. The lower part is where the lagoons with sand beaches invite you to relax with some really good restaurants which offer high quality seafood and fish. Not to forget the oysters which count as the principal source of income. On the lagoon, boats can be hired to get to the other side. Bird watchers will find their paradise in this corner of the earth.

Oualidia has tourism but is not overrun like bigger cities. People come here to take advantage of the ideal conditions for learning to surf and of course to enjoy the charming unspoiled environment.

In fact Oualidia is the perfect place to stay for a while and to learn how to ride the waves. The environment is completely safe and the inhabitants are really very friendly and helpful. Still the surf spot and all other sites to visit do not require any transport. In Oualidia everything can be reached walking.

Lenguaventura suggestion: Our Surf Camp in Oualidia might be a good opportunity for a relaxed and exciting family holiday. Whilst parents do all the sightseeing they always wanted to do in Moroocco, we take care of the kids and let them ride the waves.

We hope to welcome you soon in paradise.
