Oualidia (Moroccan Arabic: الوالدية l-walidiya) or Loualidia is a village in Morocco's Atlantic coast in the Casablanca-Settat region and at the border of Merrakch-Asfi. It is situated between El Jadida and Asfi and is located beside a protected natural lagoon and has been called Morocco's "oyster capital," a reference to the significant role shellfish harvesting plays in the local economy.[1]
At the time of the 2004 census, the commune had a total population of 15,433 people living in 2668 households.[2]
