What kind of district is Hivernage?
Hivernage is a modern, leafy district between the airport and the medina walls. It was laid out in the twentieth century with wide avenues and gardens, and today it holds many of the city's large hotels, as well as restaurants, bars, clubs and the congress area.
It suits travellers who want a hotel with a pool and full service, business visitors, and anyone planning to enjoy the evenings. The medina and Jemaa el-Fna square are close enough for a short taxi ride, and for some a walk.
How short is the drive from RAK to Hivernage?
This is one of the shortest transfers from the airport. The route follows broad avenues towards the city centre, and most of the time traffic flows well. Evenings and weekends can be slower around the busy hotel and nightlife streets.
Because the hotels are large and well signposted, the drop-off is simple. Give the exact hotel name when booking, as several properties sit close together.
