Rabat
Rabat city in Morocco
Rabat, imperial city, administrative capital, city of lights taking their sources from the past
Behind its status as the administrative capital of the kingdom, royal residence, and political and diplomatic ballet hides Rabat the sweet bathed in the lights of knowledge and culture. Its body refreshed in the waters of the river Bouregrag, and feet soaked in the waves of the Atlantic, Rabat seems young and modern, however it draws its identity from the background of history where its roots are nourished in the depths of the 12th century. In Rabat, as in many places in Morocco, we are simultaneously in history and modernity. We never tire of strolling through its large green spaces, parks, zoo, on the esplanade of the Hassan tower to rediscover the glorious history of Yacoub El Mansour, meditate on the graves of kings Mohamed V and Hassan II in the nearby mausoleum, cross the road and enter through the great gate the kasbah of Oudayas on the edge of the Bouregreg and rejoice eyes at the view of the fresh waters of the river mix with those salty of the nearby Atlantic Ocean.
