10 BREATH-TAKING MEGA DEVELOPEMENT PROJECTS IN MOROCCO 2023-2030

Morocco is one of the largest economies in Africa and it is also one of the highly ranked countries on the infrastructure dimension in the continent. This however has not made the country reluctant in terms of infrastructure development, as it is investing heavily especially in transport and energy projects.
According to the BNC Network, there are over 200 active mega construction projects in Morocco. The North African country is experiencing sharp growth on the back of government investments that seek to meet the needs of a rising population, according to the, Morocco Construction Market Outlook, report.
The economic growth and projects being undertaken in Morocco are completely majestic and excessively impressive, hence this video focuses on the 10 most impressive mega development projects that make Morocco to be regarded as a non-African country.

Thank you all who have done that, now let us continue.
Number one, Zenata Eco-City project. Located in the northeast of the Moroccan metropolis of Casablanca, Zenata Eco-City is a sustainable urban development project that is set to curb the impact of population growth through social inclusion and job creation.
Developed on a total of 1,830 hectares piece of land that stretches out over 5.3 kilometers along the Atlantic coast and 3.5 kilometers of the sea that flanks the Casablanca-Rabat expressway, the city is designed with respect to 3 fundamental pillars of sustainable development, that is, the environmental, social and economic pillars.
It will incorporate three service activities, organized in sections, the first of which is education. The second section, which is the health section, will include a private healthcare unit, with a strong offering of specialized health plans while the third section– dedicated to business, aims to make Zenata an attractive commercial and family leisure destination.
The first phase of the Zenata Eco-City project, which is crisscrossed by a complete public transport network and paths reserved for pedestrians and bicycles, was made accessible to the public in March 2016, including the opening of an Ikea store.
Number two, X-links Morocco-UK Solar Project. Developed and currently owned by X-links, X-links Morocco-UK Solar Project is a 7,000MW solar PV power project that is being carried out on an area of approximately 1,500 kilometer squared in Guelmim-Oued Noun.
Upon completion, the US$ 1.6billion project is expected to generate 10.5GW of zero-carbon electricity from the sun and wind and deliver 3.6GW of reliable energy for an average of 20+ hours a day. Alongside the consistent output from its solar panels and wind turbines, an onsite 20GWh or 5GW battery facility will provide sufficient storage to reliably deliver each and every day.
The electricity generated from this facility will be evacuated to the UK via a 3,800 kilometers undersea high voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission line that will be the longest subsea power transmission link in the world.
Number three, Strait of Gibraltar (Morocco-Spain) underwater railway tunnel project. This is a proposed underwater railway tunnel project that is expected to deliver a fixed link between Morocco and Spain, or rather Africa and Europe. The tunnel will be built across the Strait of Gibraltar, a narrow strait also known as the Straits of Gibraltar, that connects the Atlantic Ocean to the Mediterranean Sea and separates the Iberian Peninsula in Europe from Morocco in Africa.
The Strait of Gibraltar (Morocco-Spain) underwater railway tunnel project consists of a 38kilometer-long tunnel from Tarifa to Tangier. Of the 38kilometer, the tunnel would be underwater for 27 kilometers at a maximum depth of 475meters and a slope of 3 percent.
Number four, Mohammed VI Tangier Tech City Project. Initially announced in 2016 on the occasion of Morocco’s King Mohammed VI’s visit to Beijing, Mohammed VI Tangier Tech City Project is a US$ 10 billion project to construct a high technology and manufacturing hub on a 200-hectare site in Ain Dalia on the outskirts of Tangier, a city in northwestern Morocco.
The project is developed jointly by the Moroccan and the Chinese governments, and it is designed as the spearhead of the future Tangier region economic hub at the gateway to Europe. It is expected to host 200 Chinese companies, operating in the food, automotive, aeronautical, renewable energy, and textile industries.
These companies will develop products for export to African and European markets and will benefit from Morocco’s free trade agreement with Europe and the US, avoiding in this way tariffs that might otherwise be imposed on Chinese products.
