Between Casablanca and Rabat runs a long ribbon of white, soft sand. There are a number of affluent seaside resorts en route. Imagine a white city rising up majestically at the estuary of a river, a city whose history goes back to Antiquity, whose beauties have been enhanced over the centuries, a city chosen to be the capital of the Almohad Empire in the 12th Century.
Then of present-day Morocco; that city is Rabat, the Royal City. Rabat is the setting for the Royal Palace of his Majesty Mohamed VI. It is the seat of the government, and of the ministries. Rabat boasts the biggest university in the country and the city abounds in shops, bookstores, cinemas and theatres. Rabat is endowed with long beaches of golden sand, the noble Mamora cork oak forest and the Royal Golf Dar-Es-Salam, one of the most beautiful courses in the world.
We will see the Hassan Tower, the Mohamed V Mausoleum and the Casbah of Oudayas.
