Grand Theatre of Rabat
المسرح الكبير للرباط
A final work by Zaha Hadid. Its white, flowing curves rise like dunes on the banks of the Bouregreg, and it opened in 2024.
The Grand Théâtre de Rabat (Royal Theatre) was designed by the late architect Zaha Hadid. Its form is inspired by a meandering river, and a white curved shell encloses a main hall with about 1,800 seats and an open-air theater. It opened at the end of 2024 and is the flagship project of the Bouregreg Valley development. You can admire the building from the outdoor square and the riverside walkway. Check the official website for performance listings. It is about a 10-minute walk from the Hassan Tower.
