Saidia Hotels and Accommodation

Saidia is a seaside resort on the Mediterranean coast of the region of Oriental in the North African kingdom of Morocco. This small city has been nicknamed “the Blue Pearl of Morocco” because of the turquoise color of the water. Thousands of tourists come to the discount hotels in Saidia to enjoy the beautiful climate and the miles of golden sandy beaches. The water is crystal clear, and the beaches slope gently into the sea, making swimming here attractive to families with small children. The beaches are said to be much more like those of the Caribbean than the Mediterranean.
