Summary

Upscale entertainment district with luxury hotels, fine dining, and famous nightclubs. Safe during the day and early evening. Late-night club scene gets intense - fights break out after midnight.

Details

Upscale hotel and entertainment district - 5-star resorts, Royal Theatre, Louis Vuitton, and the city's famous nightclubs packed into a few modern blocks. Quiet and safe during the day with well-dressed locals and hotel guests. At night the clubs open - Theatro, Secret Room, and 555 Famous Club with international DJs and VIP sections. Daytime feels completely safe: good lighting, wide streets, security guards outside every hotel and restaurant. The late-night scene is the problem. After midnight it gets rowdy with drunk crowds, aggressive promoters, occasional fights. The clientele is wealthy - expensive cars, designer clothes, cocktail prices matching upscale Western cities. Comptoir Darna does dinner and belly dancing shows starting around 10:30pm. Solo dining works at hotel restaurants where staff speak English. It's 15 minutes walk to the medina, 10 to Gueliz - close to everything but removed from chaos. Works if you want luxury and don't mind premium prices. Plan to take taxis back after midnight when the club scene gets intense.

Modern European-style district with trendy restaurants, bars, and boutiques. Much safer and more relaxed than the medina, though less authentically Moroccan. You'll need taxis to reach the old city.
