Makadi Water World is a fun water park with more than 50 thrilling water slides for both kids and adults, including a 19-metre free-fall slide, tunnel slides, mini rainbow and elephant slides just to name a few. You can easily spend some hours here.

The Cunningham Clock Tower, known locally as Ghanta Ghar, is located just a few hundred meters from the city's busy centre, Chowk Yadgar. It was inaugurated in 1900 to commemorate the Diamond Jubilee of British Queen Victoria. The Kalyan Bazar road that runs from here is lined with interesting examples of old merchant dwellings.

You will be surprised by the straight layout of the city's historical heart in sharp contrast to the usual maze of streets. A walk through Rabat's medina could look like this: start your visit at the Bab El Had gate and take Souika Street, the largest and probably busiest street in the medina. You will arrive in the Es Sabat souk, the shoe market, covered with reed mats and overflowing with babouches (leather slippers) as well as silver and gold jewellery. You then come to the partially glass-roofed Rue des Consuls where craftsmen make woollen carpets, fabrics and copperware. The medina also offers low-priced and local food, so do not hesitate to try mint tea, pastillas or tagine.
