The partnership aims to 'inspire a new wave of travel to Morocco, focusing on the country's vibrant cities, coastal escapes, and natural landscapes,' said Wego in a press release today.

'Whether it's discovering the colorful streets of Chefchaouen, relaxing along the beaches of Agadir, or exploring the highland trails of the Atlas Mountains, Morocco offers a diverse getaway that caters to a wide range of travel interests,' Wego added.
The campaign will spotlight Morocco's unique mix of tradition and modern fun. It will feature local markets, historic buildings, and art scenes in cities like Marrakech, Rabat, and Fez.
Travelers will also be able to enjoy detailed guides, influencer content, and online promotions to help them plan their summer vacation to the North African country.
Mamoun Hmidan, Chief Business Officer at Wego, said they are excited to work with ONMT and introduce their users to the 'richness Morocco has to offer.'
'Our goal is to make it easier for travelers to find meaningful experiences whether they're looking for adventure, history, or relaxation—through curated content and seamless travel planning,' Hmidan added.

'With Wego's platform offering real-time comparisons and travel inspiration, discovering Morocco has never been more convenient,' Hamzaoui said.

Coastal towns such as Essaouira and El Jadida will also be in the spotlight.

West Ham and Wolves in race for Amine Adli
West Ham United and Wolverhampton Wanderers are both interested in signing Bayer Leverkusen forward Amine Adli this summer. The 25-year-old Morocco international, who is keen on a move to England, is valued at around £23m ($30.9m) by the Bundesliga side. Adli won the Bundesliga and DFB-Pokal with Leverkusen in 2023-24, contributing 10 goals and 12 assists in 42 appearances across all competitions. However, his 2024/25 campaign was hampered by a broken fibula, which sidelined him for over three months. He returned in January but managed only two goals and two assists. French football journalist Julien Laurens reported: 'I'm told that Amine Adli is attracting interest from Premier League clubs. Wolves and West Ham are keen on the Bayer Leverkusen forward. He is keen on a move to England. His valuation is around £23m.' West Ham are looking to bolster their attack after selling Mohammed Kudus to Tottenham Hotspur for £55m ($73m). Wolves, who recently sold Matheus Cunha to Manchester United for £62.5m ($84m), are also in the market for a versatile forward. Adli, who has 23 goals and 24 assists in 142 games for Bayer Leverkusen, can operate across the front line and in midfield. He moved from Toulouse to Germany in 2021. Xabi Alonso praised the Moroccan during his time in charge at Leverkusen, saying: 'Amine shows hunger, intensity and he has that quality. If he can combine the lot consistently, we'll see what a good player he can be.' Leverkusen's sporting director Simon Rolfes added: 'Amine's very fast, has good technique, is extremely agile and skilful.' Both Premier League sides are monitoring the situation closely. While Wolves have struggled to compete financially this window, they are reportedly willing to allocate funds to sign Adli. West Ham, meanwhile, are yet to make an attacking addition to their senior squad. Adli, capped 15 times by Morocco, is under contract until June 2026.

ANRT: Maroc Telecom, Inwi and Orange Obtain 5G Licenses for MAD 2.1 Billion
Marrakech – The National Telecommunications Regulatory Agency (ANRT) announced on Friday that Morocco's three telecom operators have been granted 5G licenses following a competitive bidding process launched on July 11. According to an official press release by the regulator, Itissalat Al-Maghrib (Maroc Telecom), Wana Corporate (Inwi), and Médi Telecom (Orange) secured the licenses for a total of MAD 2.1 billion ($210 million), with varying financial contributions based on bandwidth allocation. Maroc Telecom paid MAD 900 million ($90 million) for 120 MHz of bandwidth, while Inwi and Orange each paid MAD 600 million ($60 million) for 70 MHz. The minimum reserve price for each 5G license was set at MAD 600 million ($60 million) corresponding to 70 MHz. Eventually, all three operators will have access to the same bandwidth of 120 MHz by utilizing frequency bands released for 5G development. The licenses will be valid for 20 years and are renewable. Coverage targets were initially set at eight cities and their airports by November 2025, 25% of the Moroccan population by the end of 2026, and 70% by the end of 2030. However, these objectives were revised upward during the ANRT Board meeting chaired by the Head of Government. The operators have committed to more ambitious coverage targets, with plans to reach 45% by the end of 2026 and 85% by the end of 2030. During the board meeting, ANRT Director General Azlarab Hassibi stated that 5G technology will be implemented through global investments of MAD 80 billion ($8 billion) spread over the coming years. This investment will fund the deployment through 2035. Read also: Maroc Telecom, Inwi Announce MAD 4.4 Billion Investment to Boost Home Fiber, 5G Deployment In the evaluation process, Maroc Telecom received a score of 87, Orange scored 85, and Inwi received 87. According to the instruction report, each bidder's offer exceeded the minimum requirements specified in the call for competition and complied with cybersecurity-related requirements. Operators will initially deploy 5G-NSA (Non-Standalone), with the deployment of 5G-SA (Standalone), or full 5G, beginning two years after the initial launch. For comparison, the 4G licenses granted in 2015 cost operators a total of MAD 2 billion ($200 million): MAD 1 billion ($100 million) for Maroc Telecom, MAD 503 million ($50.3 million) for Inwi, and MAD 500 million ($50 million) for Orange. The cost of 5G licenses is therefore only 20% higher than that of 4G. This strategic choice aims to allow operators to invest in this new generation of network while ensuring acceptable profitability. The deployment of 4G networks has enabled significant development in mobile communications over the past decade. According to ANRT figures, internet penetration is approaching 105% as of June, network coverage exceeds 99% of the Moroccan population, and the penetration rate of 4G smartphones in Morocco is approximately 80%. The development of 4G has also led to important reductions in mobile data tariffs. The main terms of the 5G licenses include national coverage, specific commitments regarding cybersecurity, service security, and continuity. Regular cybersecurity audits will be conducted in accordance with best practices. Future license holders will have access to 50-100 MHz in the 3 GHz frequency band and 2×10 MHz in the 700 MHz frequency band. Each interested assignee will have to financially contribute to the reorganization of the concerned frequency bands, with this contribution set at MAD 60 million ($6 million) per license.

Everton, Bayern Munich Reach Deal Over Defender Adam Aznou
Rabat — Everton Football Club has reached an agreement with Bayern Munich to sign the Moroccan international and the club's left-back Adam Aznou. The Toffees will pay an initial €9 million for the 19-year-old Morocco international, with another €3 million coming through add-ons, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reported . Aznou will undergo his medical in the next 24 to 48 hours after agreeing on personal terms with the Premier League club. Manager David Moyes wants to strengthen his club's left-back position and give competition to current starter Vitalii Mykolenko. The signing represents The Friedkin Group's first major move since taking over as Everton's new owners this summer. Bayern Munich's Christoph Freund has called Aznou 'exceptional,' but the teenager chose to leave the Allianz Arena to find more playing time. The German champions agreed to let him go as he seeks regular first-team football. Everton needed defensive reinforcements after several first-team players left when their contracts expired at the end of last season. The club has moved quickly to address these gaps under its new ownership. Aznou has accepted Everton's project and looks forward to playing at Hill Dickinson Stadium. The deal now moves toward completion, with only the medical remaining before the transfer becomes official. The signing shows Everton's ambition under The Friedkin Group, who want to make an immediate impact in their first transfer window as owners. Moyes will welcome the addition of a highly-rated young defender who can develop while providing depth in a key position. Tags: adam aznouBayern MunichEvertonTransfer
