Beni Mellal

Located on the Ouardigha plateau at 620 meters elevation, Khouribga extends across an industrial region with extensive phosphate deposits and mining facilities.

The French protectorate authorities established Khouribga in 1923 following the discovery of phosphate deposits, transforming the area into a global mineral production center.

The mining heritage of Khouribga influences local traditions through its museum, festivals, and artistic events that connect residents with their industrial roots.

The city maintains strong transportation links to Casablanca via road and rail networks, facilitating the movement of minerals and supporting regional commerce.

Khouribga manages the largest phosphate production zone globally, with reserves estimated between 35 to 40 billion cubic meters of phosphate-rich minerals.
