But all of this looks set to change. Over the last few years, both Moroccans and foreigners
have started buying up property in the old walled town, including the old colonial church. This is
bringing about a regeneration, as the crumbling houses are being given a facelift. Just north of
the town, on a gorgeous stretch of beach, is the recently-opened tourist resort of Mazagan ,
which includes a golf course, casino, spa and large resort hotel. The old town of El-Jadida in
the next few years will be given a new, if very different, lease of life.
