Free films on the beach for a week from July 26th to 30th on Sidi Abed's Harhoura beach

This event, in a natural amphitheatre on the beach at Sidi Abed, will be the first open-air giant screen cinema in Morocco.

This festival is organised by Abdelouahed Mjahed, the president of the Association Marocaine des Arts sans Frontières (AMAF).

Abdelouahed Mjahed says the choice of Harhoura is strategic: "This choice was on its proximity to the capital Rabat and Casablanca, as well as easy access from the highway."
