Mohammedia boasts a population of 194,358, but it's no quaint seaside retreat - this port city is the bustling center of Morocco's petroleum industry. While the city has seen rapid growth, with over 500,000 residents in the prefecture, the infrastructure struggles to keep up. Bureaucracy is a persistent headache, and the climate can be oppressively hot in summer, reaching over 40°C. Yet, Mohammedia offers a thriving economy and ample recreational activities, from surfing to golf. For those drawn to the energy of an industrialized Moroccan city, Mohammedia may be worth considering, but it's no idyllic escape.
