La Gouira: A Major International Tourism Megaproject Supported by Emirati Investment
La Gouiera: A New Vision for Tourism in Southern Morocco
Eyes are turning to La Gouiera, in the far south of Morocco, where the Kingdom is set to launch an ambitious tourism project backed by significant Emirati investment. This initiative aligns with the national strategy to accelerate the development of the Southern provinces and aims to transform the region into a modern tourist hub with international appeal.
This project will further bolster the growth dynamics in the Dakhla-Oued Ed-Dahab region, which is now positioned as an emerging destination with high potential for investment and tourist attractiveness.
An International Marina and State-of-the-Art Marine Infrastructure
At the heart of the project lies the creation of a vast tourism marina designed to accommodate yachts and luxury vessels while adhering to the most demanding international standards.
Next-generation marine facilities will facilitate the development of water activities and water sports, enhancing La Gouiera’s appeal within the high-end coastal tourism segment.
In parallel, modern commercial and recreational spaces will spring up, offering an integrated experience that combines shopping, dining, and entertainment, all within an architectural setting that harmonizes modernity and local identity.
Premium Ocean-View Villas and Quality Living
Beyond its tourism dimension, the project includes a high-end residential component. It plans to create residential and tourist complexes featuring villas with direct ocean views, designed according to modern and sustainable architectural standards.
The site will also include:
- Multi-sport athletic fields
- Expansive gardens and green spaces
- Recreational facilities and water parks
- Pathways and areas dedicated to outdoor activities
This integrated approach aims to foster a true art of living, combining tourism, residence, and quality of life in an exceptional natural environment.
A Strategic Partnership Between Morocco and the UAE
The project’s execution will be entrusted to an Emirati development company, as part of a robust economic partnership between Morocco and the United Arab Emirates, highlighting the depth of bilateral relations in investment and development.
This new initiative comes against the backdrop of the rising prominence of the city of Dakhla, particularly with the advancement of the Dakhla Atlantic Port and structural infrastructure projects, as well as renewable energy installations that enhance regional competitiveness.
Prospects: A New Tourist Hub in Southern Morocco
This mega project represents a pivotal step in the economic transformation of the Southern provinces. It is expected to result in:
- The creation of direct and indirect jobs
- The attraction of international investments
- The stimulation of the local economic fabric
- The strengthening of Morocco’s positioning in luxury tourism
With this initiative, La Gouiera is poised to become Morocco’s future Atlantic showcase, embodying an ambitious vision rooted in modernity, sustainability, and tourism excellence.
