In detail, the total amount of this contract is estimated, according to the document, at over 2.5 million dirhams.

It offers a breathtaking view of the Oudayas kasbah and the Bouregreg valley. It covers a total area of 7 hectares. Indeed, the building is located in a landscaped park that includes planted spaces, a large forecourt, pedestrian walkways, lawns, as well as a drop-off area and green spaces covering the periphery of the site, composed of palm trees, various trees, and grassed areas. “On the Southeast to Southwest side, the Grand Theatre of Rabat will be bordered by green spaces, interspersed with pedestrian walkways, and a circular asphalt road around a massif (garden and drop-off area) that serves a small parking area.
