Construction of the M’diq ports began in 1961. A strong eastern storm swept through it in January 1963, when the seawall was under construction. It was from 1966 that the port began to receive pleasure boats. Trade and transportation of materials began to develop later (cement for Al Hoceima, Mellilia and Nador, fruits and vegetables for Gibraltar, manganese for Beni M’zala for Barcelona).
The main activities are fishing and shipping. In 2009, the port of M’diq was greatly expanded with the construction of the new marina; After the development of this new port, a redevelopment of the fishing port was completed in 2012.
