Chez Abdou
€
€€€
(
Foret Diplomatique Km17, Route de
Larache Rabat, +212 533 319 186
) On a leafy corner of the
beach road to Asilah, Chez Abdou serves up giant platters
of barbecued seafood amid a jumble of mismatched patio
furniture. Service can be slow, so bring your swimwear
and enjoy a dip in the sea while you wait.
Caid’s Bar
€€€
€
(
85 Rue de la Liberte, +212 539 333
444
) Located on the premises of the exclusive El Minzah
Hotel, the plush surroundings of Caid’s Bar are said
to have inspired the style chosen for Rick’s Café in the
classic movie Casablanca. Live piano plays 12 hours a day.
Scott’s
(
Rue El Moutanab)
Tangiers’ gay scene may not
be what it was in the 1960s, when the city was famed
for its laidback attitudes. However, Scott’s nightclub still
proudly flies the rainbow flag, distinguishing itself with a
well-stocked bar and late opening hours.
Surf
Take the fast ferry from the port to be in Spain’s
surf capital, Tarifa, in 35 minutes. Have some lessons,
or just enjoy a mojito in one of the bars.

La Luna at The View
€
€€€
(
The View, Coast Road, near
Felfela, +20 121 030 0301
) Offering terrace and indoor
seating, La Luna is a good bet for lunch and dinner. The
steak with blue cheese sauce and the homemade pasta
dishes are delicious.
Hard Rock Café
€€€€
(
Nawara
Centre, Village Road, +20 65 346 5170
) Hurghada’s Hard
Rock Café offers the chain’s regular menu as well as some
local specials. Nothing beats the Tupelo chicken tenders,
the fajitas or the pulled lamb sandwich for miles around.
Meshmesha Lounge
(
Esplanada Mall, Village Road
)
In the heart of Village Road, relax on the terrace of
Meshmesha with a cold beer or glass of juice. Should
you get peckish, the kitchen does a mean pepper steak.
Enjoy while indulging in a spot of people-watching.
El Gouna
, just 30km north of Hurghada, offers a
range of activities, bars, restaurants and shops, all with a
Mediterranean-meets-Egypt feel. A great day out for
a change of scene.
