Grand Theatre of Rabat
The theatre is part of the Bouregreg Valley Development Project initiated by King Mohammed VI in January 2006 as an ambitious national cultural development programme for artistic and cultural reinvention. Close to the Mausoleum of Mohammed V and the Hassan Tower, it aims to transform the urban landscape on both sides of the Bouregreg River. With 47,000 square metres, it will be the largest theatre in the Arab world and in Africa.
Designed by the famous Iraqi architect Zaha Hadid, one of the main figures of contemporary urbanism, and continued after her death by the great Moroccan architect Omar Alaoui, this futuristic design building is equipped with quality infrastructures that will accommodate a large number of people, cultural and artistic events. It is designed to encourage all forms of creative expression, both those that are in harmony with the secular heritage of the city of Rabat and those that are in line with modern taste, in its many and varied styles and genres.
