When planning a stay in Aïn Harrouda, two main themes stand out: regional culture and the landscape of Zenata. A significant pottery complex and traditional Tbourida are among the municipality’s cultural features; the park, coast and dunes define its landscape.

Pottery and Tbourida

The regional cultural features of the municipality of Aïn Harrouda include a significant pottery complex and traditional Moroccan Tbourida, including the Paloma Festival. Pottery and Tbourida thus stand alongside each other as distinct cultural points of interest.

A report dated July 31, 2017 describes the third edition of the Paloma Tbourida Festival, held at Paloma Beach in the municipality of Aïn Harrouda to celebrate the Throne Festival. The six-day edition included daily performances at the Al-Mahrek event grounds, a few meters from the beach. The report names the Zenata Federation for Equestrian Games and Horse Breeding in Mohammedia Prefecture as the organizer. If you would like to plan a trip around the festival, check current event dates. According to the 2017 report, the Zenata Federation organized the festival annually.

Zenata: Park, Coast and Dunes

The eco-city of Zenata is also located in the municipality. There, a 40-hectare linear park stretching more than three kilometers connects the city entrance to the coastal park, with buildings lining the grounds. Zenata is also said to have more than five kilometers of coastline and sand dunes over eight meters high. These measurements describe two distinct aspects of the landscape: the extent of the park and the coastal landscape with its dunes. If you would like to focus on green spaces, you can consider the park as a separate highlight alongside the coast and dunes.

Paths, Sports and Beach

The central park in the Quartier de la ferme neighborhood is intended for walking, sports, leisure and relaxation. The sports trail is located by the sea and the first residential neighborhood, Quartier de la ferme; it is designed as a sporty and entertaining walk for residents and visitors, and intended for a broad audience. The eco-city also describes a 44-kilometer network of secure paths exclusively for pedestrians and cyclists, separate from routes intended for cars. The park, which is more than three kilometers long, and the 44-kilometer path network are different features: the first describes a linear green space, while the second is a network for pedestrian and bicycle traffic. Check current access to the facilities before planning walks.

At Paloma Beach, the tourism description lists showers, toilets, changing rooms, a children’s play area and shaded picnic spots among its facilities. Check the current condition of the facilities before visiting.
