AKTI by Al Morshedy Is the North Coast’s New Family Playground

Every Sahel family knows the summer struggle. One person wants to spend the day horizontal, somewhere between a sunbed and a nap. Someone else wakes up ready to conquer the world.

The little ones immediately declare the beach boring, while the teenagers are on the hunt for places to pose. Before long, everyone has a different definition of the perfect summer day, and somehow a vacation that started together ends with everyone scattered across the coast. But at AKTI - the North Coast’s largest entertainment hub by Al Morshedy Group - you’ll find enough experiences to keep every personality occupied.

Located within Al Morshedy Group’s coastal compound Zahra, AKTI is built as a full-day entertainment and lifestyle destination where everyone gets their version of the perfect summer day. The adrenaline seekers can head straight to Curve Karting, where a friendly race has a suspicious habit of becoming a highly competitive family tournament within five minutes. For the little ones, there’s Dolphina, where they can watch dolphins leap, spin and play up close, creating the kind of wide-eyed summer memory they’ll bring up every year after.

As for the sleep deprived adults, AKTI offers something equally valuable: a little uninterrupted peace. While everyone else is busy racing, exploring and taking over the coast, the spa acts as a much-needed escape from questions like “Where are my goggles?” or “Can we order fries?” And, of course, no rejuvenation journey is complete without some retail therapy. At Posh Sheds and CosmoGate, the post-spa stroll can turn into a little treasure hunt, whether that means discovering a new summer piece, picking up something for the beach bag, or browsing for five minutes before leaving with ten shopping bags in hand.

Then, when the sun starts dipping, AKTI brings everyone back to the same table. Its lineup of dining concepts means nobody has to negotiate over what’s for dinner, and the kids can just excitedly replay their dolphin encounters, the teens can argue over who actually won the karting race, and the adults can finally enjoy a meal that’s not spaghetti.

Once the kids have gone home with their summer stories, the thrill-seeking adults can sit back and watch as AKTI shifts fully into night mode, swapping splashes and speeding karts for basslines, lights and some of the biggest names in electronic music. Adriatique will kick things off on July 24th, Francis Mercier will follow on the 31st, and Solomun will take over the summer soundtrack on August 7th for a grand finale that will have parents temporarily forgetting about the encroaching back to school season.

So, for the family that wants to spend summer together but can’t seem to agree on what “fun” actually means, AKTI offers the rare Sahel miracle: a place where everyone can do their own thing but nobody misses out on being together.
