Swimming

If your riad or hotel lacks a pool, you may find that a nearby hotel will let you use their facilities for a small fee.

Beldi Country Club. For a tranquil and elegant afternoon by the pool and away from the throngs in town, consider the vast, manicured gardens of Beldi Country Club, 6 km (4 miles) outside the city. A day pass, including lunch on the shaded terrace, use of sunbeds, and use of the pool is 370 DH; use of the pool alone is 200 DH. Charter a taxi to take you there.
