💡 Tips
- The main beach is wide and less crowded than nearby Salé, first-rate for long walks, but beware of strong Atlantic undercurrents.
- Use the frequent grand taxis commuting between Kenitra and Salé for a cheap and authentic way to reach the town.
- While the beach is the main draw, the nearby Maamora Forest has a great shaded retreat during the hottest parts of the day.
- Facilities directly on the sand are limited, so bring your own shade, towels, and drinking water.
🍽 Food
Order a traditional Mqualli (fish tagine with tomatoes and peppers) at a local roadside diner.
Buy these crispy, deep-fried Moroccan doughnuts from street stalls in the morning or late afternoon.
Look for the smoke of charcoal grills in the town center for excellent and affordable spiced meat skewers.

Sidi Taibi is a rapidly developing coastal town situated on the Atlantic shoreline of Morocco, located conveniently between the cities of Kenitra and Salé. Known for its laid-back atmosphere, the town is increasingly attracting visitors seeking a more tranquil seaside experience compared to the larger, bustling urban centers nearby. The vast stretches of golden sand along the ocean provide a first-rate setting for coastal walks and relaxation. A major highlight of the area is Plage Sidi Boughaba, a pretty beach that borders a renowned biological reserve. This pristine beach features refreshing Atlantic waves and striking natural surroundings. Just inland from the beach lies Lake Sidi Boughaba, a vital sanctuary for migratory birds and a fantastic spot for nature lovers. The combination of ocean views and rich biodiversity makes this location truly special. Gastronomy in Sidi Taibi reflects traditional Moroccan flavors, with street food stalls and local cafes offering delicious tagines and freshly grilled sardines. The town is highly accessible via the national highway connecting Rabat to northern Morocco. While lacking a large historic old town, its natural coastal beauty and proximity to the Sidi Boughaba reserve make it a delightful escape.
