Hi, Are we talking right now on in the next few years? I think in the next 2/3 years it will be Tangier. It's 16km from Spain, and easily accessible on the ferry. Once the port in the old town is redeveloped, cruise ships will be stopping there. /Also, the budget airlines will be coming in soon. The Moroccan government has recognised that northern Morocco has been severely under-invested for many years, and they are now playing catch up. The new port 35km east of Tangier is now open, and is reckoned over the next few years to become the biggest port in Africa. The government is marketing Tangier as a major business centre and a place for businesses to outsource resources, call centres, automotive and other skills and semi-skilled jobs. Nissan-Renault is opening a large auto plan in 2010. Tangier area has great weather and the cool breeze whereas Marrakech is oppressively hot. I think the English food will start to migrate to this area. Marrakech has had big price jumps already. So much more opportunity for Tangier. I find the people in Tangier to be very friendly. Tangier used to be an international city and a glamorous one before independence and it aspires to creating this again.

I hope this helps.
