This square looks tired. There is really nothing of significance to see. I enjoyed watching all of the people scurry about but that was about it. There are lots of government buildings surrounding the square but if you don't have to... don't

It was very nice in the square and quite comfortable to drink coffeee in one of the viewing seats with all the men sitting around. Tram very modern and runs frequently.

The square itself is nothing special, apart from being a nice spot for people watching. However it is surrounded by some interesting administrative building like the law courts, main post office, police headquarters etc and it worth a visit for that. There is also a tourist information booth nearby where you can pick up a map and some info leaflets... More

The square is probably a nice thing to see, but I wouldn't say it's something you must not miss. If you happen to walk past, have a look around, but if not then so be it...

Square of Mohammed V is just a short walk from city center (Blvd Muhammed V), equipped with many benches for people to rest and enjot the park. People are gathered here where some performances take place. There are some water sellers wearing local dress and henna hand painters.

There is not really much to do on this square than to pass by. But the architecture of the buildings on it is stunning - very similar to what you see in Algiers. Be careful about the pickpockets, we saw one running away (and being caught).

For the main square of a large city, there was nothing much to recomend it. If you had the time, it would be fine to sit and watch the world go by.

The sheer size of it. The huge fountain is amazing. Made me want to run and jump in and wade around.
