Boulemane – Local community representatives in Boulemane Province have brought the issue of the Al-Sakhounat Hot Spring in Ait El Maan, located in Imouzzer Marmoucha, back into the spotlight, calling for clarification regarding the status of the facility’s rehabilitation project, for which an engineering design was circulated in 2023. This comes after recent field images, taken on August 5, 2026, showed that signs of deterioration and a lack of maintenance remain visible in several parts of the hot spring facility.
According to consistent information provided by local community representatives, the design circulated in 2023 presented a vision for a modern rehabilitation project for the hot spring, including a covered swimming pool, a café, a restaurant, and facilities designed for visitors, which could enhance the site’s attractiveness and make better use of its natural and tourism potential.
However, according to the same representatives, recent field images show a situation that differs from the vision presented several years ago. Signs of humidity, peeling walls and ceilings, and deterioration of some doors and windows are visible, along with other indications of a lack of maintenance.
Local community representatives believe that this situation raises legitimate questions about the status of the rehabilitation project, whether it has entered the implementation phase, the expected timeframe for its completion, and the entity or entities overseeing it. They are calling for clarification to be provided to the local public regarding the project’s current status.
The same representatives also consider that the continued deterioration of the facility could negatively affect a natural asset that, if properly rehabilitated and developed, could become a driver of local tourism in Imouzzer Marmoucha and Boulemane Province, particularly given the hot spring’s location and unique natural characteristics.
In this context, local community representatives are calling for accelerated action to address the condition of the hot spring and prevent further deterioration of its facilities, while also requesting disclosure of the project’s implementation stages, its planned schedule, and its current status.
Local information circulating in the area indicates that the comparison between the design presented in 2023 and the field images taken in August 2026 raises a clear question among local affairs observers: When will the Al-Sakhounat Hot Spring rehabilitation project in Ait El Maan move from a proposed design to a tangible reality benefiting local residents and visitors?
Fes News is awaiting, if available, official information regarding the project, including the status of the works, scheduling, and deadlines, in order to provide the public with clarification about its progress.
