Capital of Morocco Rabat

Capital of Morocco Rabat is the fourth imperial city. It is the symbol of

 splendor and greatness of a popular monarchy. A city with a special structure linking elegantly ancient traditions with modern culture. Settled in the 7thC B.C, explored by Phoenicians, occupied by Carthaginians and Romans, converted by Muslim Arabs in the 12th C and witnessed its golden time under the rule of Almohad, declared as the administrative capital of the French protectorate in 1912 and remains the political capital of Morocco after the independence.
Hence one can easily understand the secret behind the infinite variety of the city. The capital narrates its rich eventful history through the surviving traces enclosed within the old prodigious walls, within the bustling ancient Medina, within the 17th C Kasbah of Oudaia, within the ruins of that large unfinished mosque with its magnificent tower standing proudly in the heart of the city and finally within the countless aging building bracing a profound meaning of Morocco majestic history.

The city is also a modern city which has beautiful Atlantic beaches, conservative avenues, modern markets, sumptuous lush gardens and several important museums containing a treasure of fine artwork.
