Maaiziz is a town in the Casablanca-Settat region of western Morocco, located about 30 kilometers northeast of the economic center of Casablanca. As a transition zone between the Marrakech-Safi region and the Casablanca metropolitan area, it has agriculture and light industry as the mainstays of its economy, and is surrounded by large olive groves and citrus plantations.
Located in the transition zone between the Atlantic coastal plain and the Central Atlas Mountains, with an average elevation of about 200 meters above sea level, Ma'aziz has a Mediterranean-type climate with dry, hot summers and mild, rainy winters. According to Morocco's 2014 census, the town has a population of about 15,000, with a predominantly Arab and Berber population, and Arabic and French are commonly spoken.
The local economy is based on agro-processing, textiles and regional trade, and the weekly souk (open-air market) is an important place for trading goods in the neighboring villages. Traditional handicrafts such as pottery and wool weaving retain their Berber cultural character. In terms of transportation, Ma'aziz is connected to major cities such as Casablanca and Marrakech via the RN8 national road, making it one of the most important nodes in the Moroccan interior for access to Atlantic ports.
