Rabat Travel Guide Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see exautique bouknadel GRIMM exautique bouknadel GRIMM toufik kouzmani About a million people live in the capital Rabat and its sister city Sale, but wandering around the Medina, the Kasbah or the Modern Town this is not the impression you get. Life is easy. Not many people harrass you. Shopowners are very nice. For this reason Rabat is a good first base to start exploring Morocco. You can get in touch with life the morrocan way at your own pace. Watch the changing of the Royal Guard at the Royal Palace (Friday mornings) walk the narrow streets of the Casbah des Oudaya and visit the 12th-century Tour Hassan. Several other interesting sights should be visited if time permits. Chief among these are Bouknadel and its Jardins Exotiques (fascinating gardens) and Chellah which has interesting museums a 17th-century fortress and Roman ruins. And don’t neglect Rabat’s sister city Sale with its Grand Mosque, city gates, markets, small back streets and harbor filled with fishing boats. You might also consider going to the beach in Rabat, although the beaches south of the city are somewhat better than those in town itself. Part or or all of this text stems from the original article at: T79863798637 _______Sights Edit This Within the big walls surrounding both Rabat and Sale there are quite a few sights. Most of the fun in Rabat is, however, just wandering through the narrow streets and shopping in the souqs. Rabat does have a few places you can really go in, but they're not many, and you will spend most of your time outside. [Add Sight] Jamacia Mon castle Edit This The Bab Rouah is one of the most beautiful alean mocity wall gates in Morocco. It is located at the south east end of the walled city, near the Royal Palace. You can enter the gate free of charge. There are frequent expositions, mostly focussing on modern Moroccan art and generally speaking they are not too bad. type: Palaces World66 rating: [rate it] Museum of Antiquities / Musée Archéologique Edit This Rue Brihi, closed tuesdays. It's the best in its kind in Morocco. Especially the collection of bronzes is nice. type: Hotspots World66 rating: [rate it] tel: Tel: 00212-37- 70-22-24 or 00212- 37- 70-19-19 openingHours: 9-11 a.m. and 14.30-17.30p.m. (except tuesdays) address: 23, Rue Brihi Chellah Edit This Just outside of town. Very nice ruins. This was the town until it was abandoned in the 12-th century. Now there are ruins of a Mosque and graves of Merinide Sultans. This is one of the view mosques you'll see from the inside. The surrounding garden is great, especially when there are storks. type: general World66 rating: [rate it] Old City of Sale Edit This The old city of Sale is definately worth a visit. There is a good Medersa, there are small winding streets lined with shops as well as very impressive city gates. type: general World66 rating: [rate it] Tour Hassan & Mausoleum Edit This The Tour Hassan, built in Almohadic times, still stands tall. Although it was never finished it is still am very remarkable monument. The tower was built at the same time as the Giralda in Sevilla. Facing the tower is the Mausoleum of King Mohammed V. On fridays you can see the change of the guards. reda: good type: general World66 rating: [rate it] Kasbah des Oudaya Edit This With a small museum, a terrific garden, small streets and the best cafe in town, the Casbah should be on top of your list. Entrance is free, except for the museum (10 DH). type: general World66 rating: [rate it] Bab Mrisa Edit This The Bab Mrisa is the most interesting Gate of the Walled city of Sale. The gate is higher than you will normally see, this is due to the fact that there used to be a canal going through it, so in the pirate days of the city, the ships could go into the city directly. type: general World66 rating: [rate it] ___________-History Edit This The earliest settlement at the mouth of the Bou Regreg river date back to preroman times. During the Roman Empire there was a fortress, Sala, at the location of the Chellah. It was the southernmost colony in Morocco of the Romans. It was the Almohads who founded Ras we know it, abat in the twelfth century. Rabat and Sale had their finest hour in the seventeen century, when the Republic of the Bou Regreg was a major basis of Piracy in the world. Moroccan pirates went as far as Ireland. Rabat has been the capital city of the Moroccan kingdom since 1912. It was built on Challah ruins whose history may be traced back to the VIIIth century. By the end of the Xth century, the Zenetes, a Berber tribe, made of it a place for their military barracks. Casbah of Oudayas is now what remains of that military site. In the XIIth century, the city bacame the capital city of Almohades and Yacoub EL MANSOUR gave it the name of "Ribat El Fath" (Victory Fortress). Rabat owes its beautiful architecture and wonderful old buildings to Yacoub EL MANSOUR. A six kilometre-long-wall with five big gates, Hassan Mosque, which had it been completed, it could have been one of the biggest mosques in the Arab world at that time, and the great old gate of Oudayas Casbah are some intersting historical sites which are really worth visiting. Andalousians, Arabs who were chased off Spain, came and settled in Rabat. In 1666 and under the reign of Moulay Rachid, the city got prosperous. He built more walls to protect it and finished building the Casbah and the port. In 1912, Rabat has become the capital city of the Kingdom; offices, universities and embassies with their modern architecture draw a contrast with old walls and towers. Mohammed V mausoleum, a typical sample of Moroccan architecture, stands mejestically near Hassan mosque overlooking the Atlantic ocean and its neigbouring river, Bou Rereg. ________Practical Information Edit This National Tourism Office · 2, avenue d'Alger - Tel: 73.05.62 Central Post Office · Av.

To get to the museum of Antiquities, the Chellah or an other part of town, take one of the blue cabs, fix a price, or ask them to use the meter. To get to Sale or the Jardin Exotique you can get a seat in a grand taxi. Make sure your not renting the whole thing. Taxi's leave when they're full. To Sale there's also the option of taking the boat. It's nice, but you always end up walking a lot on the Sale side of the river. __________Getting There Edit This Rabat is easily reached from other cities in Morocco. All travel from the south goes via Casa, which is the travel hub. Tanger in the North and Fez and Meknes in the east are also easliy accessible from Rabat. The trainstation is right in the center of town. The busstation is somewhat out of town, so if you have the choice, the train is easier.
