RABAT

Rabat, Morocco's capital, rests along the shores of the Bouregreg River and the Atlantic Ocean. It's known for landmarks that speak to its Islamic and French-colonial heritage, including the Kasbah of the Udayas. This Berber-era royal fort is surrounded by formal French-designed gardens and overlooks the ocean. The city's iconic Hassan Tower, a 12th-century minaret, soars above the ruins of a mosque.

KASBAH DES OUDAIAS
The Kasbah of the Udayas is located at the mouth of the Bou Regreg river opposite Sale. The edifice was built in the 12th century during the reign of the Almohad Caliphate.

CHELLAH
The Chellah is a medieval fortified Muslim necropolis located in the metro area of Rabat, on the south side of the Bou Regreg estuary. The Phoenicians established a trading emporium at the site. This was later the site of an ancient Roman colony in the province of Mauretania Tingitana. It was abandoned in 1154 AD.
HASSAN TOWER
Hassan Tower or Tour Hassan is the minaret of an incomplete mosque in Rabat, Morocco. Commissioned by Abu Yusuf Yaqub al-Mansur, the third Caliph of the Almohad Caliphate in 1195, the tower was intended to be the largest minaret in the world along with the mosque, also intended to be the world's largest.
