About Mehdya
Mehdia (in Arabic: المهدية) is a town in Morocco. It is located in the Gharb-Chrarda-Beni Hssen region. It is a picturesque small coastal town located near the city of Kénitra, 30 km north-east of the capital, Rabat.
The fishing port, very picturesque at the mouth of the Oued Sebou, the proximity of the Sidi Boughaba lake biological reserve with its forests and colonies of rare birds, the Spanish, Portuguese and Dutch forts, the Kasbah of Yacoub Al Mansour, and the proximity of the ancient sites of Banasa and Thamusida are undeniable assets for developing tourism in this village, which is still little known. Its long, fine sandy beaches are also highly appreciated by surfers and bodyboarders.
