Best time to visit

الأفضل وقت الغروب حين يغمر الضوء الذهبي الواجهات وتنشط المقاهي، أو في صباح مبكر قبل ازدحام الأسواق. فصلا الربيع والخريف يمنحان جواً معتدلاً للمشي والتوقف.

Budget tips

الدخول مجاني تماماً لأن الساحة مفتوحة على مدار الساعة. اجعل مصروفك الوحيد كوب شاي بالنعناع في مقهى مطل، وفاوض على الأسعار قبل الشراء من الباعة المجاورين.

About

Quick facts: An open square separating the walls of the old city from the streets of the modern city, crossed by a street connected directly to the port and the fish market. In its center rises a eucalyptus tree nearly a century old and over twenty meters tall, and it is the point where visitors receive their appointments.

Highlights: From the building of the Delegation Palace overlooking the square, King Mohammed V delivered the famous speech of April 9, 1947 in which he demanded Morocco's independence, and the square was officially named after that date. An hour before sunset, the overlooking cafes turn into an open theater where oyster vendors and chestnut carts move slowly under a golden light that touches the trunk of the giant tree.

Insider tips

  • ارتدِ حذاءً مريحاً قابلاً للمشي لأن الأزقة المرصوفة شديدة الانحدار ومزلقة
  • أفضل زاوية للتصوير عند بوابة باب فاس المطلة على الشجرة والنافورة معاً
  • تجنب وسط النهار صيفاً وتأخر حتى العصر للاستمتاع بالحركة دون حرارة قاسية
  • فاوض على سعر الجولة المرشدة أو سيارة الأجرة قبل الانطلاق من وسط الساحة
