Atalayoun is the place to read Marchica as water, shore and planned waterfront in the same walk. From the peninsula, changing angles reveal the lagoon's scale, Nador's urban edge and Gourougou behind it. The activity should be a paced public-realm circuit led by a birding or landscape guide, not an implication that every marina, hotel or private development is open. Stops can cover lagoon restoration, water exchange, wintering birds and the choices involved in developing a sensitive shoreline.

Ain Beni Mathar is a plateau town near the Algerian frontier of the Oriental — a place of thermal springs that give it the "Ain," the Arabic for spring, in its name, and of the great solar-thermal power plant that now turns the region's relentless sun into electricity for the kingdom.

The Maghreb Film Festival makes Oujda a meeting point for feature and short films from across the region, with screenings accompanied by discussion, competition and professional exchange.

Figuig's palm harvest is meaningful because it sits inside a three-level garden and water system, not because dates can be sampled on demand. This locally coordinated programme follows the actual agricultural window announced by hosts. Components may include a garden walk, explanation of date varieties, a consented demonstration of sorting or storage, an irrigation lesson and a meal using products genuinely available that day.
