flooding in Rabat
I am wondering how extensive the damage is from the flooding in Rabat yesterday? I just saw this on the news. Were there any injuries or fatalities?
We are due to arrive in Rabat on Sept 24, but we could come back through on our way back to Marrakech if it's not a good idea to arrive then, or even not at all.
Here most places with a natural disaster do not want tourists in the way.
Re: flooding in Rabat
The centre was totally blocked yesterday, station and roads flooded, see http://www.meteo-world.com/news/index-2725.php (in French but you can see photos). However, it appears there were no injuries or fatalities, and according to bloggers today, traffic situation is back to normal - although as one main road was apparently destroyed by the flood, presumably not entirely.
No state of emergency has been declared.
Travel Tips for Rabat
Carved doorway
From time to time, you will find imbedded in the Andalous's wall delicately decorated doorways like this one. This can be the entrance of a Mosque, or any official building. The entrances into the medina (not shown) are always open.
Tour Hassan
This tower which is dark pink on three sides and gray on one side - due to seawinds - is incomplete.
At present it stands at 44 metres, but had it been completed would have been over 80 metres, quite an accomplishment for the period (IXs century).
The 312 columns and 42 pillars would have supported the roof of a structure designed to accommodate over 20,000 people. It was destroyed by an earthquake in 1755 and only ruins remain of the Hassan Mosque, that may have been the largest mosque in the Muslim world had it been completed.
Chellah Necropolis
The city was developed in the 13th century by the Merinids who made it the site of the Chellah necropolis which was built upon the remains of the ancient Roman town of Sala.
It is located 3,2 KM from the center. The entrance fee is 10 DHS and it's open from 8H30am to 6pm.
These ruins aren't that spectaculares except the entrance gate but it is still very touching.
Few old tombs can be found here and there and a stone basin with sacred fishes and tortoises. According to an ancient legend, there is a secret miraculous source at the bottom where a fish covered with gold is living...
Inside the covered market
In this market, you will find beef, lamb, poultry, eggs, etc... Fishes are in a separate market, on the other side of the street. If you are in a hotel, you will not be able to buy anything, which is a pity, but, nevertheless, I advise you to stroll along the market; It is worth the visit and you will scarcely not get across any other tourist.
