Rabat, a capital city

Rabat, a capital city

There’s similarities to capital cities around the world. Wide open roads, gracious buildings, a feeling of solemnity and administration, well kept gardens and big monuments. Rabat fits the stereotype, albeit with a 12th century casbah and great Atlantic coast to add some variety.


Art gallery, and the King’s palace in Rabat.


An unfinished 12th century mosque, and the previous King’s mausoleum.


The casbah, a fortress from the 12th century and now rather luxury homes and a tourist spot.

Today we drove to Chafchouen, which is spectacular but I’ll leave for another day.
