Located about twenty kilometers from the Tanger Med port, the Zone is equipped with infrastructure and equipment that meets international standards.

Covering an area of 10 hectares with a budget of MAD 200 million, the infrastructure project comprises 76 warehouses among other facilities. Through the project, Morocco aims to stimulate regional socio-economic development.
