The Royal Palace

by traveldave

Construction on the Royal Palace in Rabat began in 1864 on a site where an earlier palace stood. The grounds of the Royal Palace include the Mechouar (a large parade ground where royal processions and other festivities are held), the Ahl-Fas Mosque where the king leads prayers each Friday, and gardens. The palace complex is surrounded by massive walls with three gateways. Pictured here is the Bab ar-Rouah, or the Gate of the Winds. The present king of Morocco does not live in the Royal Palace, but rather in a private residence in nearby Dar Essalam. However, more than 500 of the king's servants live within the palace complex, which contains their living quarters and schools for their children. A total of about 2,000 servants and other government employees work within the palace complex. The last king to have lived in the Royal Palace was King Mohammed V, the grandfather of the present...

The Dar el-Makhzen

by traveldave

The Dar el-Makhzen was the main residence of the former sultan and his guard and retinue of servants. It is situated on 195 acres (80 hectares) in Fez. The grounds contain palaces, pavilions, a mosque, a medrasa (Koranic school) founded in 1320, parade grounds, and gardens. Nowadays, the Dar el-Makhzen is one of the royal palaces used by the King of Morocco during his visits to Fez. One of the buildings houses a museum that contains a collection of valuable artifacts from throughout Morocco, including carpets from Rabat, silk fabrics, pottery, antique firearms, and ancient manuscripts. Unfortunately, the palace and museum are closed to the public, but the complex is impressive from the outside and offers great photgraphic opportunities. The palace's enormous brass doors and knockers, made by artisans from Fez, are one of its main attractions. However, tight security means that visitors...

Place el Hadim

by traveldave

Place el Hadim in Meknès originally formed the western corner of the medina. However, sultan Moulay Ismail demolished many houses in order to form a grand approach to his palace. Bab Mansour is located on the square's southeast side, and the entrance to the souq is opposite, on its northwest side. Nowadays, Place el Hadim, which means "Square of Destruction", is the main square of Meknès, and the center of the city's social activity. Place el Hadim is reminiscent of the larger Djemmaa el Fna in Marrakech, but is not as large, loud, or busy. There are street musicians, dancers, story tellers, traditional medicine physicians, and snake charmers who cater more to the locals out for a stroll than to foreign visitors.Visitors can check out the shops that surround the square, have a mint tea at one of the outdoor cafes, or get something to eat. There are few true restaurants around the square,...

The Mausoleum of King Mohammed V

by traveldave

The Mausoleum of King Mohammed V is both a tomb and a mosque. It is one of the few mosques in Morocco open to non-Muslims. The mausoleum is the final resting place of King Mohammed V and his sons, King Hassan II and Prince Abdallah. King Mohammed V is considered the father of the modern Moroccan nation. He negotiated the independence of Morocco from France, and became king in 1957. The mausoleum was commissioned by King Hassan II in 1962, a year after the death of his father, King Mohammed V. It was completed in 1971 in the Alaouite style of architecture, although the architect was actually Vietnamese. The white building is topped by a green tiled roof, which is common among buildings used for royal purposes. Its inside walls are of white marble and the floors are granite. The interior decorations include red carpets, gilt fixtures, and ornate crystal chandeliers. The interior of the...

The Andalusian Gardens

by traveldave

The Andalusian Gardens are located within the walls of the Kasbah of the Oudayas, and occupy the old grounds of the royal palace, now a museum. The formal gardens were laid out by the French in the early twentieth century, during the colonial period. They were designed in the Spanish-Andalusian tradition, with walkways shaded by orange, lemon, and banana trees, and bordered by sunken beds of shrubs, herbs, and flowers, including colorful datura, oleander, and bougainvillea. The gardens are fragrant with the smells of flowers and herbs, and offer a cool and shady place to take a break from sightseeing in the kasbah. On Fridays and Sundays, elderly Moroccan woman meet and sit gossiping in the shade of the garden's trees.

The Hassan Tower

by traveldave

The man on a horse is a guard outside the Mausoleum of King Mohammed V in Rabat. The tower in the background is the Hassan Tower, which is the incomplete minaret of the unfinished Hassan Mosque. The minaret was intended to rise to a height of 260 feet (86 meters), and was to be the tallest and largest in the Muslim world. However, it was only built to a height of 144 feet (44 meters).Work on the mosque and minaret was begun by the Almohad sultan, Yacoub el-Mansour, in 1195, but was abandoned on his death four years later. Construction never resumed, and the uncompleted main mosque was destroyed by an earthquake in 1755. Nowadays, the open square contains 200 columns which mark out the area that was to have been the mosque.

The Skala

by traveldave

The Skala is an eighteenth-century fortification opposite Casablanca's fishing port. It was built to resist Portuguese raids, and is one of the few remaining structures from the reign of Sidi Mohammed ben Abdullah. Substantially destroyed during an earthquake in 1755, it has recently been restored, and visitors can inspect the battlement walls and cannons.

Moroccan Bath

by mjleynes

What's not to miss during a Morocco Trip is definitely the obvious! Moroccan Bath! After (6) days of walking, running, camel riding and driving around Morocco, before our flight we walked in at the Atlas Airport Hotel straight to their SPA. Great way to end a Moroccan Adventure!

Food and About

by loneshopper

When you are in Morocco, do explore the charming daily life of the locals. Food is one thing the explore as Morocco offers diverse food selection. From the famous Tangine ( you can even have it non-meat or vegetarian) to seafood.All Moroccan food is halal, so for moslem travelers, trying all sorts of different Moroccan cuisine should not be a hassle.Another thing you should try is the public bath or hammam. This is a very interesting way to clean yourself with groups of people you dont exacly know. Hammam is popular among the female population in Morocco. It is actually the place where they exchange gossips, arrange marriages and updates. As they scrub you with several different local herbs, you will go out of the Hammam place feeling very clean, body and soul. It is the answer to spa for Moroccan.
