Sights & Activities

Place du Méchouar

The Moroccan government wants the grand Place du Méchouar to attract our attention, but the
Palais de Congrès Offline map Google map (Blvd de Mekka) and new Grande Mosquée (Moulay

Abdel Aziz Mosque; Blvd Moulay Youssef) overlooking the place are unlikely to make you
reach for your camera.

Spanish Cathedral

Offline map (off    Ave Hassan  II;  closed)    The original    Spanish town    runs    along   the riverbed

Saquia el-Hamra, over which presides the cathedral, its rounded white dome mimicking the
local architecture.

Souq Djemal

(Ave Salem Bila) Southwest of the cathedral, this is the liveliest area of town.
