Work is intensifying across Dakhla, where multiple development projects are being carried out simultaneously. The initiative forms part of a broader modernization strategy aimed at adapting infrastructure to the needs of a rapidly growing urban center.

Beyond upgrading public facilities, these projects seek to enhance living conditions while reinforcing Dakhla’s appeal to investors and visitors alike.

The ongoing works are subject to regular monitoring by the relevant authorities, who oversee both compliance with quality standards and adherence to the deadlines set for the completion of the projects.

The approach reflects a commitment to ensuring that the works entrusted to the companies responsible for the various contracts are carried out in accordance with the required specifications.

The upgrading program focuses primarily on the city’s main roads, starting with Al Walaa Avenue. At the same time, development works are underway along major thoroughfares in the city center as well as in outlying districts. Rehabilitation efforts are also continuing in residential neighborhoods, where utility networks are being fully upgraded.

The large-scale operation aims to improve traffic flow, ease congestion and create new opportunities for urban expansion within a well-organized framework.

It is also expected to support the upcoming launch of several strategic projects, including the Dakhla Atlantic Port, the University Hospital Center (CHU) and the seawater desalination plant.

Through these investments, Dakhla is continuing its transformation to meet the demands of its demographic and economic growth while supporting the major projects outlined in the King’s vision for the development of Morocco’s southern provinces.
