WHY PROPERTY IN MOROCCO?



Moroccan hot spots are for over 15 years already attracting the world's rich and famous while investors in property in Morocco expect the value of property to sharply increase once it becomes a fully-fledged holiday destination.
This  is not happening yet at a great scale but for those who have been visiting the country more often in the last 10 years, it is becoming more and more visible that it will not take so long before it will be discovered by a group of homebuyers that want to get more exclusive locations, and investments options then nearby countries like Spain and Portugal....
Real Estate in Morocco is becoming increasingly popular with all types of real estate investors. Buyers are currently highly interested in property investment in Morocco due to the high quality developments being constructed at bargain prices. Many of the new and off-plan properties in Morocco form part of projects aimed at the exclusive, luxury market and come complete with outstanding features and facilities. Morocco is a growing country with a focus on becoming fast a popular investment location not only for property but also for industrial opportunities

Another fact is that Morocco has the most unspoiled beaches one can dream. And this is one of the focus points of the government. They want a sustainable development and pay great attention on keeping beaches and dunes intact.

The century old town of Essaouira (Mogador) is therefore unique. It still has the old medina wich is Unesco World Heritage,where you can find riads that are renovated with great respect, but where you still can find property waiting for renovation with stunning views.
 it offers unspoiled beaches , a golfresort almost on the beach, built with great respect for nature, and prices are incredable low still at this moment.
Expanding the place is not much longer an option and therefore buying real estate there now will be a goldmine in the near future.
 
Historically speaking, the sea-side is where it’s at. There’s just something about the lapping waves that draws visitors to a particular area, long after the local residents have got bored of going to the beach. It’s always the case. If you live in London, you never go to the Theatre. If you live in southern Spain, you never go to the beach. If it’s there all the time, you tend to take it for granted.
And that theory spills over into the property world, because no matter how ramshackle a property on the sea-front might be, and how ever much it may attract disdain from local residents, it’s still on the sea-front and that means it will still command a jolly good rental income, even while superior properties a little further inland are taking the brunt of the downturn.
So if you are interested, you want to know what you can get for what money, we are there, on site to help you out and make this first selection for you. 
Right that is what we love to do, searching  and make you amazed.

IN MOROCCO, SUN MEANS ENERGY



Morocco's has the ambitious and expensive plan to draw 40 percent of its energy needs from the limitless power of its blazing sun by 2020. In 2009, Morocco announced a $9 billion project to build five solar energy plants to harness the sun's rays and produce 2,000 megawatts of electricity by 2020 and will soon announce which international consortium has won the bid to start work on a 160-megawatt solar power plant to be built in the southern city of Ouarzazate.
The Ouarzazate plant is expected to be operational by 2014, with plans to boost its capacity to 500 megawatts by 2015.
But solar energy does not come cheap.
The Ouarzazate plant was originally set to cost $440 million, but has since ballooned to at least $1.25 billion.
Funding comes from an array of international sources, including the World Bank, the African Development Bank and a consortium of German companies promoting solar energy across North Africa called Dii.
Similar projects are planned in Algeria, Tunisia, Egypt and Jordan, but none are nearly as advanced as in Morocco, where the 2,500 hectare (10 square mile) Ouarzazate site has been marked out on the edge of the desert.
Morocco's plants will be using concentrated solar power.
In the Morocco facilities, endless rows of parabolic mirrors will heat up a synthetic oil, which will then produce steam to turn turbines to produce the electricity.


“In just six hours, the earth’s deserts receive more energy from the sun than all humanity consumes in one year.”
Dr Gerhard Knies
Chairman of the Supervisory Board, Desertec Foundation

HOT SUMMERS - MILD WINTERS

As you would expect, being so close to Spain and the Canary islands Morocco mirrors that of Mediterranean countries. This means Morocco enjoys hot summers and mild winters with little rainfall, the climate here is perfect for holidays as it is very reliable and, well documented, that there are over 300 days of sunshine per year.
But there are certain spots that do even better! The Atlantic coast offers you the whole year a perfect climate.
When it is winter in Spain, it is spring at the coastal cities in Morocco. When it gets summer there and hot, it still is verry comfortable weather in those Moroccon places. What a difference with cities like Marrakech only a couple of 100 km away where it can be hot hot hot in summer.

SKIING, CULTURE, NIGHTLIFE....

A well hidden secret about Morocco, well..to be honest there are a lot. That is what makes it so mysterious....
Do you know you can ski?

Skiing in Africa is still a strange concept to many but the ski market in Morocco is thriving. Home to the highest luxury ski resort in Africa (3000m up in the Atlas mountains)  it comes complete with lifts, hotels and all the plush extras you’d expect from any luxury ski holiday at a French or Swiss outfit. Morocco really is home to best of Africa’s luxury ski holidays, with ski trips easily arranged from destinations like Agadir in the foothills of the Atlas mountains. 

Do you know nightlife in Morocco can be beyond what we have here? Far beyond...
 
I only mention those because I know them personally or I had friends involved in the design and I admit, just like all beautiful riads they play hard to find. You can pass them a 100 times in the small streets and then, suddenly it catches your eye as a door opens.



Do you know staying in Morocco will change you for ever ?
Yes, of course you know, that is what everyone "wants" to experience, but few really do as they never get there and keep dreaming about it!
Let me just share this one with you...
