A top roof

Lucy In the Sky is the latest trendy bar everyone is talking about. Designed and built by architect Yachar Bouhaya, it’s also the newest creation from the Cabestan group. Located in the heart of CFC, the venue offers a 360° view of the economic capital. Whether day or night, the panorama is truly stunning! We also loved the décor. It’s a beautiful blend of various quality materials. Modern zellige walls are paired with wood, cement tiles, and marble for a result that is both elegant and comfortable.

But the highlight of the place is its access. A panoramic elevator takes you up to the rooftop terrace, and for that alone, it’s a new spot in Casa that’s worth trying! A great cocktail list, a tapas menu perfect for a chic & chill afterwork, and a selection of dishes focusing on meat make you want to stay a while.

An open-air mall

One of the key pieces of news in recent weeks is the opening of Mall du Carrousel in Rabat. Spanning 30,000 square meters facing the Atlantic Ocean, it’s unquestionably the largest open-air shopping space in the region. Dedicated to shopping, the venue also offers entertainment spaces, children’s play areas, and dining options, with the major advantage of being surrounded by more than 7,000 square meters of green spaces. A real green haven, where you can stroll, sit under a tree to snack or relax. It further solidifies, if there was any doubt, the eco-friendly reputation of the capital.

The venue features about a hundred brands, covering everything from fashion to home décor. It also includes a multiplex cinema by Cinerji (a new entertainment and leisure concept in Africa) with around 2,000 seats. Several play areas for kids, including a Royal Kids park, are ideal for planning a birthday party or just a fun afternoon for your little ones. And, of course, the mall has numerous restaurants, from fast food to gourmet bistros. Everything for a pleasant family outing!
