Authorities Take Action Against Illegal Constructions in Aïn Diab
On March 18, 2026, the public authorities in Casablanca commenced demolition operations at the Lido tourist complex, commonly referred to as 'Paradise', located along the Aïn Diab coastline. This decisive action comes in response to numerous violations of urban planning regulations that had raised safety concerns for the public. Reports indicate that the site had seen unauthorized constructions that were deemed hazardous, leading to the authorities' intervention following the expiration of a grace period previously granted to the operator for self-demolition of the non-compliant structures.
A reliable source revealed that the operator had been formally alerted about the requirement to remove the unauthorized modifications but failed to act within the given timeframe. Consequently, the authorities decided to undertake the demolition themselves, ensuring that all relevant parties, including local officials, urban planning services, and the urban agency, were present during the operation. While no specific details have been released regarding the extent of the demolition or the future of the complex, the situation underscores the ongoing challenges related to urban development and regulatory compliance in Morocco.
