Al Hoceima is the capital of the <strong>Taza-Al Hoceima-Taounate<\/strong> region. It is located on the territory of the Ayt Weryaghel and Ibeqquyen tribes of the Rif, who speak the Tarifit Berber language, locally called <strong>tamazight<\/strong>. The city&#8217;s income is based on tourism and fishing. Many of its former inhabitants migrated to <strong>Europe<\/strong> between the 1960s and 1980s; a large number of Moroccans in the <strong>Netherlands<\/strong> were originally from Al Hoceima. They return to Al Hoceima during the summer, boosting its <strong>economy<\/strong> and encouraging investment.&nbsp;<br><br>Al Hoceima is one of the most beautiful cities in northern Morocco. It is better known by the charming nickname \u00ab <strong>the pearl of the Mediterranean<\/strong> \u00bb. It is likely nicknamed this for its bays, each more beautiful than the last, bathed in turquoise waters and with cliffs that plunge into the vast blue of the Mediterranean.<br><br>This Moroccan city has a Spanish influence, as it dates back to the years of the <strong>Rif<\/strong> War in the first quarter of the 20th century, when some Spaniards landed and named it Villa Sanjurjo.&nbsp;The <strong>landing at Al Hoceima<\/strong> was a military landing carried out on 8 September 1925 during the Rif War by the Spanish army with the help of the <strong>French<\/strong> fleet and aviation in the bay of Al Hoceima, in northeastern Morocco.
