Tourism in Morocco : Rabat

In the shelter of the walls 

Ocean medina and Kasbah Udayas make the heart beat of the Moroccan capital.

The wall of the Andalusians, built of adobe in the seventeenth century, protects the south of the medina. The old town is surprisingly straight course, very different from the usual maze of streets. It can be entered through the Bab El Had where the market is held on Sundays. Here begins the Souika street, the largest and probably the most animated of the medina. It leads to the Grand Mosque and leads to Souk Es Sebat, the shoe market, covered with reed mats and slippers full of hundreds, leather goods and crafts and jewelry in gold and silver. Then came the Rue des Consuls, partially covered by glass, where craftsmen work under your eyes and make thick woolen carpet, cloth and brass. Going up north, we approached the door of the Udayas. 

Kasbah Oudayas 

This neighborhood has retained its old fortress guns placed on a bastion. His door, beautiful and massive, fully carved and one of the towers houses three art galleries. The white and blue facades create a very Mediterranean feel. Cobblestone streets lead you to the mosque El Atiqa, the oldest of the city, then to the platform of the old semaphore. From here, as the terrace of the Moorish cafe nearby, the view of Rabat, Salé and its neighbor meet Bouregreg river with the ocean is simply splendid. At the top of the palace Udayas, which now houses the National Museum, has retained its original ornamentation, footprints sobriety and balance. The Andalusian garden at his feet is a haven of peace planted with fruit trees, oleanders and bougainvillea cascades.

And here are some Pictures from the capital of Morocco :
