Parc de la Ligue Arabe
Best time to visit
Visit on weekday late mornings, when temperatures ease below 30°C and the paths stay quiet before the lunchtime rush. Late afternoons after 6pm bring families onto the lawns for impromptu football matches.
Budget tips
Entry stays completely free all year, with no tickets or passes required. The mini train and pony rides cost about 10 dirhams each, so carry small coins, and a glass of mint tea from a kiosk runs just a couple of dirhams.

About
Quick facts: When Casablanca runs out of shade, locals flock to this 30-hectare green lung where some eucalyptus trees top 40 meters. The central duck pond has hosted generations of waterfowl since the 1930s, and the 1970s open-air theater still stages free summer concerts.
Highlights: Wander behind the palm rows to find a crescent-shaped open-air theater from the 1930s where local musicians still rehearse at dusk. Catch an oud performance and you'll hear the notes echo off the surrounding stone walls, a sound that has carried across the lawn for nearly a century.
Insider tips
- Wear closed-toe shoes on the sandy main paths and pack your own picnic blanket, since much of the grass sits roped off.
- Shoot the rose beds beside the south fountain in April, when the blooms reach their peak.
- Arrive before 9am on weekends to claim a shaded bench by the pond, they go fast once the morning tai chi group settles in.
- Give the central maze a miss during school holidays, kids pack it within minutes.
