This city in central Morocco's Khouribga Province, Oued Zem sits on phosphate, iron, and marble deposits that shaped its modern development. The French colonial administration, which arrived with the first railway line in 1917 to export phosphate, nicknamed the city "Little Paris" and built a lake in the shape of France that still exists today. The city played a significant role in Morocco's independence movement through the strength of its resistance.
