Street art in Rabat

Map of street art in Rabat (Morocco)

Rabat is the administrative and political capital of Morocco, located on the Atlantic coast at the mouth of the Bouregreg river, facing Salé. Inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage list since 2012, the city combines Almohad remains — the Hassan Tower, the Kasbah of the Udayas — and modernist urbanism inherited from the French Protectorate.

The Rabat street art scene is driven by the Jidar Festival ("wall" in Arabic), launched in 2015, which invites a dozen Moroccan and international artists every year to take over the capital's facades. The event has become one of the major rendezvous of African and Mediterranean muralism, drawing Okuda, Millo, Cranio, Saner, Mohamed Lghacham, and Ghizlane Agzenaï.

The frescoes are concentrated in the Agdal and Hassan districts and along major axes such as Avenue Ibn Rochd, often engaging with local architectural heritage. The festival contributes to embedding muralism in national cultural policy, in partnership with EAC-L'Boulvart and the city authorities.
