Mohammedia, Morocco's port city and oil refining center, plays an important role in the country's economy. Does this imply that there are no tourist attractions for visitors? You will be amazed at what you can do in Mohammedia. Here are 10 examples

1. See the works of art in the Amber Gallery.

This art gallery is owned by a Moroccan family and houses a private collection of art from around the world. The friendly greeting from him will make him want to spend more time at the Amber Art Gallery. Strike up a conversation with each item and listen to their exciting acquisition stories.

2. Walk around the walls of the Kasbah of Mohammedia.

This kasbah is not open to non-Muslims, although you can sit outside and listen to the chants, especially on Fridays. The liveliness inside the fortification is already perceived from the outside. And the fortification walls offer some great photo opportunities, not to mention Instagram opportunities.

3. Have a good time in the VGK.

In addition to its huge swimming pool, the VGK is known for its go-karting and paintball facilities. After taking a few laps in the pool, imagine yourself competing in a go-kart race with your friends. Come and experience the different activities available in the region.

4. Explore the Park of the Jumelées Cities.

Mohammedia's parks are literally gems in the rough. There are not many places where you can enjoy nice foliage, so if you are in Mohammedia and the weather is nice, take a walk here. It's also a great place for jogging, especially in the morning and late afternoon.

5. Vintage restaurant, anyone?

Saint-Exupery, the author of The Little Prince, is known to have frequented this men-only pub in his youth. This place may not be as lively as it used to be; in fact, it may be impossible to locate. Have a drink or two. However, history is not found every day.

6. Browse.

You have the sun, the bright blue sky, the ocean and a port city. What better way to spend a day than browsing it? You can rent a variety of boats or yachts; just take advantage of the time. Go first thing in the morning or late in the afternoon.

7. Be dramatic.

After all your time in the sun, take a break and see a show at the Sidi Belyout Cultural Complex. Traditional musical performances or dance acts will delight you. Most of the shows are in Arabic, so you can immerse yourself in another culture.

8. Bathing in the sun.

We all know that North Africa gets the most sunlight. However, the coastal town of Mohammedia boasts some of the best beaches in the area for sunbathing. Imagine that it practically shares the same sea as Spain, which has beautiful beaches and is a very popular summer resort in Europe. Lather up and relax for a while.

9. Get ready for dinner.

If you like to create your own experience, you're in luck as, being a port city, there are plenty of fishing boats and fishing equipment available for hire. Of course, take plenty of sun cream and snacks, since you may have to wait a bit for dinner.

10. Enjoy the oysters.

Seafood is well known in port cities and those with a seafront. Fortunately, Mohammedia is home to the best oysters in Oualidia, which can be found at the elegant Ostrea Restaurant. If oysters aren't your thing, there's always fresh lobster, shrimp, crab, assorted shellfish and of course fish. To eat!
