According to TelQuel, Rabat shows above all the strongest revenue growth, with an increase of 11.1%. The market still appears capable of absorbing the arrival of new properties.

Rabat still escapes saturation

The situation is different in Marrakech. The city remains by far Morocco’s leading market, with 12,311 active listings and an average annual revenue of 206,000 dirhams per property.

But this revenue is declining by 0.9% year-on-year. Supply is now increasing faster than demand, forcing property owners to share travelers among themselves more.

Rabat therefore does not necessarily generate more revenue than Marrakech per property. It performs better in terms of growth and currently presents a more balanced market, while competition is beginning to weigh on revenues in the ochre city.
