Casa Anfa, the large new urban district in central Casablanca, is being built on the site of:
- The old Casa-Port railway yards
- The former Anfa airport
- A drained salt marsh near Mohammedia
- The former Sidi Maarouf industrial zone
Casa Anfa covers about 350 hectares of the former Anfa airport and is led by AUDA, a subsidiary of the state fund CDG. It is planned for about 100,000 residents around a 50-hectare central park, with Casablanca Finance City at its heart.
Le360: Casa Anfa urban hub, new stage for the central park (2025-09) According to ReaConsult's mid-2026 estimates, which Casablanca area has the highest apartment prices per sqm?
- Maarif
- Bouskoura
- Gauthier
- Anfa Supérieur and Ain Diab
ReaConsult puts Anfa Supérieur and Ain Diab at about MAD 22,000 to 28,000 per sqm, ahead of CFC (19,000 to 26,000), Gauthier and Maarif (about 13,000 to 18,000) and Bouskoura (9,000 to 13,000). These are a private valuer's estimates, not official data.
ReaConsult: Casablanca property price barometer 2026 by district (2026-07) A young family working in Casablanca wants a villa or a home in a gated project with a garden, on a moderate budget. Which areas fit best?
- Bouskoura and Dar Bouazza, in the southern suburbs
- Ain Diab, on the Corniche
- Casablanca Finance City
- The old medina near the port
Bouskoura and Dar Bouazza are the southern suburbs where villas and gated projects meet family and first-time demand, with Bouskoura apartments around MAD 9,000 to 13,000 per sqm (ReaConsult, 2026). The Casablanca-Settat agents' union said in 2025 that new road works were making them more attractive.
Finances News: Real estate agents need precise data (Casablanca-Settat union) (2025-03) Where is the Zenata eco-city?
- South of Casablanca, next to Mohammed V airport
- In the Bouregreg valley between Rabat and Salé
- On the coast between Casablanca and Mohammedia
- East of Tangier, near Tanger Med
Zenata is a 1,860-hectare new town on the coast between Casablanca and Mohammedia, developed by CDG's SAZ and planned for about 300,000 residents and 100,000 jobs. Its first homes went on sale in 2019.
AFD: Creation of Morocco's first eco-city, Zenata (2026-10) Why does Casablanca Finance City (CFC) feed rental demand from foreign executives in areas like Anfa and Racine?
- CFC staff get free housing from the state
- CFC companies can hire foreign staff without the usual ANAPEC certificate
- Foreigners may only rent, not buy, inside CFC
- CFC employees pay no income tax on rent
Staff of CFC-labelled companies are among the categories exempt from the ANAPEC certificate that normally proves no Moroccan candidate was found. Hiring foreigners is therefore easier, which brings expatriate tenants to the prime districts around CFC.
Upsilon Consulting: Hiring a foreign employee in Morocco (2026-10) The Grand Stade Hassan II, built for the 2030 World Cup, is located:
- In Benslimane, about 38 km from Casablanca, with 115,000 seats
- In Ain Diab, on the Casablanca Corniche, with 68,000 seats
- In Salé, across the river from Rabat, with 75,500 seats
- Next to Mohammed V airport, with 45,000 seats
The 115,000-seat stadium is going up in Benslimane, about 38 km from Casablanca, with completion targeted for December 2027. The future Kenitra to Marrakech high-speed line will have a station there, which is why agents watch land around Benslimane.
Medias24: Inside the Grand Stade Hassan II construction site (2026-05) Which landmark, inaugurated in April 2026, now dominates the Bouregreg valley between Rabat and Salé?
- The Hassan Tower
- Casablanca Twin Center
- The Mohammed VI Tower, about 250 m tall
- The Kasbah of the Udayas
The Mohammed VI Tower by O Capital Group has 55 floors and stands about 250 m high, with a hotel, offices and residences. The Hassan Tower and the Kasbah of the Udayas are historic monuments, and the Twin Center is in Casablanca.
Hespress FR: Prince Moulay El Hassan inaugurates the Mohammed VI Tower (2026-04) A diplomat wants a large home in Rabat's embassy and villa belt, and budget is not the issue. Which district, the most expensive in ReaConsult's 2026 barometer, should you show first?
- Yacoub El Mansour
- L'Océan
- Temara
- Souissi
Souissi is Rabat's villa and embassy district, at about MAD 16,000 to 21,000 per sqm for apartments in mid-2026 (ReaConsult estimates), ahead of Haut Agdal and Hay Riad. Yacoub El Mansour, L'Océan and Temara are much cheaper.
ReaConsult: Rabat property price barometer 2026 by district (2026-07) A first-time buyer working in Rabat has a budget under MAD 700,000 and hopes to use the government's direct housing aid. Where is the most realistic place to look?
- Temara, south of the capital
- Haut Agdal
- Hay Riad
- The Bouregreg marina
Temara is the most affordable band around Rabat, at about MAD 6,500 to 9,000 per sqm (ReaConsult, 2026), so homes under MAD 700,000 are realistic there. The 2024 to 2028 direct aid pays MAD 70,000 for a new home priced MAD 300,000 to 700,000 and MAD 100,000 up to MAD 300,000.
ReaConsult: Rabat property price barometer 2026 by district (2026-07) What did the Rabat-Salé tramway and the Hassan II bridge, both opened in 2011, change for property in the capital?
- They linked Rabat to Casablanca airport
- They connected Rabat and Salé across the Bouregreg river, bringing Salé closer to Rabat's job centres
- They opened the Harhoura coast to building for the first time
- They replaced the high-speed train between Rabat and Kenitra
The two tram lines (about 19.5 km) and the 1,215 m Hassan II bridge tie the twin cities together across the Bouregreg. That is why cheaper Salé is a natural option for buyers who work in Rabat.
Bouregreg Agency: Royal inauguration of the Rabat-Salé tramway and the Hassan II bridge (2011-05) In Q2 2026, which of the four big cities recorded the strongest quarter-on-quarter jump in property transactions, according to the official price index (Bank Al-Maghrib and ANCFCC)?
- Casablanca, +4.4%
- Tangier, +11.5%
- Rabat, +61.2%
- Marrakech, +18.3%
Rabat sales jumped 61.2% quarter on quarter in Q2 2026 with prices up 1.9%. Marrakech followed at +18.3%, Tangier +11.5% and Casablanca +4.4%.
ANCFCC and Bank Al-Maghrib: Real estate asset price index, Q2 2026 (2026-08) In Marrakech, which district is the "Ville Nouvelle" laid out by the French during the protectorate, now the modern city centre of shops, offices and cafés?
- The Mellah
- Gueliz
- The Palmeraie
- Targa
Gueliz is the grid-planned new town built in the first half of the 20th century, today the everyday commercial heart of Marrakech. It draws residents and long-term tenants year round, unlike the more seasonal holiday districts.
El Fenn: Guide to the districts of Marrakech (2026-10) A French couple wants a villa with a large garden and a golf nearby, outside the bustle of central Marrakech. Which area do you suggest?
- The Medina
- Gueliz
- Hivernage
- The Palmeraie, with estates such as Amelkis and Royal Palm
The Palmeraie and the golf estates of Amelkis and Royal Palm are the villa market of Marrakech. Knight Frank estimates some prime assets there gained 10% to 15% in two years.
Knight Frank: Marrakesh Residential Market Insight 2026 (2026-05) A client wants to buy a riad in the Marrakech medina to run as a holiday let. What are the two key checks?
- The title (many riads are untitled melkia) and the Law 80-14 tourist accommodation licence
- A RERA permit and a Dubai-style Ejari
- The VEFA guarantee and the 20% handover payment
- Only the price per sqm, since all medina riads are titled
Many medina riads are held under a melkia, an adoul deed with no central register, so a title check is vital. Running guest rooms or holiday lets also falls under Law 80-14, which requires a licence; Knight Frank says short-let gross yields of 7% to 10% are achievable.
Lesmre: Titre foncier vs moulkia, differences and risks (2026-05) According to Knight Frank (2026), which nationalities lead foreign demand for prime homes in Marrakech?
- Chinese, Russian and Indian
- Saudi, Emirati and Qatari
- French, British and Belgian
- German, Dutch and Spanish
Knight Frank ranks France, the UK and Belgium first, then the Middle East and US-based buyers including the Moroccan diaspora. Many of these buyers rent for six to twelve months before committing.
Knight Frank: Marrakesh Residential Market Insight 2026 (2026-05) Knight Frank's May 2026 report puts prime Marrakech homes at about what price per sqm?
- EUR 1,500 to 2,500
- EUR 5,500 to 7,000
- EUR 12,000 to 15,000
- EUR 3,200 to 3,700
Prime homes trade at about EUR 5,500 to 7,000 per sqm, up 16% since 2023, with about 6% growth forecast for 2026. EUR 3,200 to 3,700 is Knight Frank's figure for resale flats in Hivernage and Majorelle, a common confusion.
Knight Frank: Marrakesh Residential Market Insight 2026 (2026-05) An investor wants a central Marrakech apartment for short lets, close to hotels, restaurants and nightlife, just outside the medina walls. Which district fits?
- Hivernage
- Tamansourt
- Route de l'Ourika
- Targa
Hivernage, built by the French as a winter retreat west of the medina, is lined with hotels and known for nightlife, which makes it a short-let favourite. ReaConsult puts apartments there at about MAD 16,000 to 24,000 per sqm in 2026; Tamansourt, Targa and the Ourika road are cheaper peripheral options.
ReaConsult: Marrakech property price barometer 2026 by district (2026-07) Al Boraq, Africa's first high-speed train, opened in November 2018. Which journey did it cut from about 4h45 to about 2h10?
- Casablanca to Marrakech

- Tangier to Casablanca
- Tangier to Tetouan
Al Boraq runs at up to 320 km/h on the new Tangier to Kenitra line, then continues to Rabat (Agdal station) and Casablanca (Casa Voyageurs). The extension from Kenitra to Marrakech is under construction, targeted for 2029.

- 1.1 million TEU
- 3.2 million TEU
- 25 million TEU
- 11.1 million TEU
Tanger Med handled 11,106,164 TEU in 2025, up 8.4%, plus 161 million tonnes of cargo. Its free zones and car plants bring a steady flow of employees who need homes on the city's edges. 3.2 million is roughly its passenger count, not containers.
Finances News: Tanger Med passes 11.1 million containers in 2025 (2026-02) A buyer wants a villa near the point where the Atlantic meets the Mediterranean, about 14 km west of Tangier, by the famous lighthouse. Which area is this?
- Malabata
- Cap Spartel
- Beni Makada
- Gzenaya
Cap Spartel, at the north-western tip of Morocco, marks the meeting of the Atlantic and the Mediterranean; its lighthouse has worked since 1864. Malabata, by contrast, is the bay-front east of the city centre.
IALA Heritage: Cap Spartel Lighthouse (2026-10) ReaConsult notes strong residential and holiday demand in Tangier from Moroccans abroad (MRE). Where do these buyers mostly live?
