The Bou Regreg River Walk follows the river that separates Rabat and Salé, offering a calm and scenic walking route. The riverside area blends modern development with views of historic city landmarks. Wide pedestrian paths, seating areas, and open views make the walk ideal for relaxation and photography. The river reflects surrounding architecture and changing light throughout the day. For travelers, the Bou Regreg River Walk provides a peaceful urban experience and a different perspective of Rabat.

What to See & Do

  • 🚶 Walk along the wide, palm-lined paths of the Corniche Bouregreg 🌴
  • 🏰 Enjoy unique low-angle views of the Kasbah of the Udayas and Hassan Tower 🗼

Travel Tips

  • ⛵ Traditional Crossings: For an authentic experience, use the rowboats near the Kasbah rather than the bridge 🛶
