Activities and tours from Rabat

Rabat is the political capital and the main administrative center of Morocco, as well as the fourth imperial city. It is a curious mixture of the historical tradition of the past and present modernity. The establishment of Rabat dates back to 12th century by the Sultan Abd Al-Momin, Al Muhads dynasty. Rabat has just over a million people. Modern and even reserved by Moroccan standards, the city also has many fascinating historic sites, including the picturesque Kasbah of the Udayas, built in the mid-12th century. It is a majestic and splendid architecture embellished by the surrounding gardens. The kasbah (fortress) was used as a military base to fight against Spanish troops. The unique Hassan Tower, begun at the end of the 12th century, was meant to have the world’s largest minaret, but was never completed. Just opposite the tower lies the 20th-century Mausoleum of Mohammed V, another of the city’s main attractions. Not far from the walls, stand the imposing walls of the Challah; a necropolis from the time of the Merinids. The city became the secured refuge for Muslims who were expelled from Spain in the early 17th century.
