A plethora of leisure activities
Art galleries, golf, the beach, walks along the coastal road... The quality of life at Rabat is incomparable. There is an incredible range of leisure activities to choose from, for everyone.
Dawdling through nature
Don't miss the gardens of Sidi Bouknadel 12km north of Rabat. Covering 4 hectares, exotic plants from around the world have been planted here. You will be able to continue this bucolic walk and picnic in Mamora forest among the eucalyptus trees, cork, and other Aleppo pines. Back in the city, enjoy the new coastal road which starts at Bab Al Bahr, near the Kasbah. The banks of the Bouregreg sometimes take on an air of a French Riviera, especially with the new marina and its 350 rings and rive droite on the Salé side. At sunset, Café Maure at the Ouyades kasbah offers the best view over the river and Salé.
Culture
Here, many art galleries are set up in the entry ways to monuments. Such is the case of the three galleries at the gates Bab Rouah kasbah and Bab Rouah, the "Gate of the Winds". Rabat is home to two remarkable museum: the archaeological museum and its impressive collection of ancient relics, and the Oudayas Museum, with its array of marvels of Moroccan crafts, of which the Andalusian gardens, a haven of peacefulness and freshness are a work of art in their own right. To ease your ears, be sure not to miss the Mawazine festival of world music.
Sports
In November, come experience the Hassan II Trophy on the Dar Es Salaam Royal Golf Course. A globally renowned event in a setting of beauty rarely seen on the greens. Long beaches await you, for a horseback ride or a dip in the Atlantic.
To remember
For cultural and sports events alike, the Moroccan capital will delight you: it has all the advantages of a large holiday resort city.
