Al Qaria–Hssaine Cultural and Social Centre, Salé

## About the centre and its status The **Al Qaria–Hssaine Cultural and Social Centre** serves the **Kariat Oulad Moussa / Al Qaria** neighbourhood in the **Hssaine district of Salé**. Event announcements also refer to the **Al Qaria–Hssaine Cultural Complex**. Historical municipal documents identify a **cultural institute at Al Qaria–Hssaine**, while the city's current register separately lists the **Bir Anzaranne Socio-Educational, Cultural and Sports Centre in Kariat**. These references demonstrate local civic-cultural facilities, but **the precise administrative equivalence of the names has not been established**. This listing therefore follows the name used by documented programmes, without assigning unsupported technical specifications to the building. ## Spaces, facilities and resources On **25 January 2026**, the venue hosted a **Yennayer / Amazigh New Year celebration** organised by **Al Amal Association for Local Trade, Development and Cooperation**. The event brought **ahwach** performance, poet **El Houssine Amtak**, comedian **Mustapha Sghir** and the **Mohamed Bouazza Aslal Orchestra** to a community gathering. Alongside the artistic performances, the day offered an opportunity for families and neighbourhood associations to share traditions and celebrate Amazigh cultural heritage. ## Documented cultural activities On **29 and 30 July 2026**, the centre was a venue for the **11th Chabka International Festival of Culture and Urban Arts**, hosting the **Chabka Rap Competition** for emerging artists. The announced judging panel included **Caprice** of Casa Crew, **Laarbi** of Zanka Flow and rapper **Fatineez**. These hip-hop sessions are distinct from the **Gnawa concerts held at Salé's Al Malaki Cultural Complex** during the same festival. ## Events and artistic programmes **Visitor information:** the location is grounded at Al Qaria / Kariat Oulad Moussa in Hssaine, but **no verified door number, fixed public hours, auditorium capacity or direct phone** has been established. Refer to the organiser's programme for entry and ticketing.
