After extensive renovation and upgrading, the Moulay Ali Cherif thermal station in Midelt Province has recently reopened, unveiling a refreshed and modernized look. This renowned hot spring, a popular tourist and therapeutic destination in the region, is once again offering its wellness, relaxation, and purification services to visitors seeking the benefits of its hot waters, which emerge from the ground at over 50°C.
Located about 30 kilometers from Errachidia, this haven of relaxation offers stunning views of the Ziz Gorge and Valley, one of the most impressive oases in southeastern Morocco. The station now provides a range of services, from bathing in the therapeutic thermal waters to enjoying local cuisine, as well as opportunities for leisurely strolls along the Ziz River with its striking red cliffs.
The site, nestled in the majestic High Atlas Mountains, has been revitalized thanks to investments from various partners, including the National Initiative for Human Development (INDH), the Midelt Provincial Authority, the National Agency for the Development of Oasian Zones and the Argan Tree (ANDZOA), and the rural commune of Guers Tiaallaline. The renovations included the development of two thermal pools—one for men and one for women—and the installation of a station with 22 thermal bathtubs. Additionally, technical facilities, sanitary facilities, showers, and changing rooms were constructed.
With a total investment of approximately 2.21 million dirhams, the renovations aimed to enhance the visitor experience, improve bathing conditions, and elevate the station’s regional and national profile to attract more visitors.
To fully enjoy this immersive experience, the station’s management advises visitors to stay hydrated and take breaks to allow the body to rest. While therapeutic benefits remain the primary draw for visitors, the breathtaking natural landscapes of the region also feature prominently in their plans. The station offers an opportunity to admire the majestic mountains, the stunning kasbahs and ksours built from earth, and to purchase souvenirs from local vendors.
