Barrage Mohamed V Ramsar Wetland
Editorial illustration of reservoir birdwatching and wetland themes in the Moulouya basin.
A sense of place
The Mohamed V reservoir is both infrastructure and wetland, a combination that makes it more revealing than a conventional scenic lake. Built across the Moulouya system, it supports water management while exposed banks, shallows, islands and tamarisk habitat contribute to its Ramsar significance. An interpreter can explain fluctuating water lines, sediment, irrigation and why reservoir birds depend on areas that may look empty from a distance. Optics are essential; approaching nesting or resting birds defeats the conservation purpose.
Season and access
Dam installations and operational roads are restricted unless explicitly authorized; use only confirmed public outlooks and keep well away from banks, machinery and bird concentrations.

- Atalayoun Lagoon Peninsula Walk
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.
- Ahfir
Ahfir är en marknadsstad i Orientalen, nära Berkane och vägen mot den algeriska gränsen — ett arbetande jordbrukscentrum vars veckosouk drar ner byarna på den omgivande slätten för att handla boskap, varor och nyheter.
- Angad AOG Wine
Angad is a guaranteed-origin wine appellation in Morocco’s Eastern wine region. Its inclusion broadens the beverage map beyond Meknes and Casablanca while avoiding a common mistake: an appellation is not a brand and does not prove that a restaurant’s unnamed pour comes from the zone.

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 Palm Grove Harvest and Water Heritage: a seasonal guide
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.
