French TV channel France 2 aired a documentary on Monday detailing Morocco’s ambitious €8 billion development program that is being implemented in the kingdom’s southern provinces.
The documentary describes the bay of Dakhla on the Sahara’s Atlantic coast as a “paradise for kitesurfers,” attracting many French tourists.

Morocco has been pressing ahead with large-scale investments. The government’s €8 billion plan includes schools, hospitals, luxury hotels, desalination plants, and the €1.2 billion Dakhla Atlantic Port. Once completed, the port will handle large ships and integrate logistics, industrial complexes, and fishing facilities to connect southern Morocco with African, European, and American markets.
Officials interviewed in the France 2 report said the goal is to transform Dakhla into an intercontinental trade and tourism hub while driving socio-economic growth across the south of the country. Government investment in fishing, a key part of the local economy, will provide new processing and packaging plants, and infrastructure upgrades will improve roads, make energy more reliable and accessible, and strengthen industrial capacity.
The documentary also reported that France is backing the effort financially. The French Development Agency recently pledged €150 million to support projects in the region.
