Where to stay in Oudaya
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
The Oudaya Garden and the Oudaya museum are what put a traveller on this side of Rabat, and a room booked within reach of them buys a walk to both rather than a ride across the city each morning. Oudaya itself keeps few beds. Dar Lamrini and Dar Mouline are heritage houses on the register, not a hotel strip, so the wider Rabat listing carries most of the beds. Agdal is the fallback.

About Oudaya
What are the main landmarks in Oudaya?
Five names sit on the list. The Oudaya museum and the Oudaya Garden give the district its two public draws, while Dar Lamrini and Dar Mouline are recorded as houses rather than galleries, the kind of address a visitor walks past rather than queues for. Salé church joins them on the same register.
That is the whole inventory Rabat hands this quarter.
What is the history of Oudaya?
No charter year is on file. Oudaya carries the name of the district and of the garden alike, and the record ties Dar Lamrini, Dar Mouline and the Oudaya museum to it without giving any of them a founding date that would fix the quarter in time. Rabat holds the dates.
Salé church, listed on the same sheet, is the one entry pointing past the city boundary.
Where is Oudaya?
Oudaya is Rabat ground, the part of the city district roll that carries the Oudaya Garden, Dar Lamrini and Dar Mouline.
