In the shelter of the walls.
Ocean, medina and Kasbah Oudayas are the beating heart of the Moroccan capital.
An amazing Medina!
The wall of the Andalusians, built of adobe in the seventeenth century, protects the south of Medina. The old town is surprisingly straight course very different from the usual maze of streets. It can enter through the Bab El Had Sunday where the market is held. Here begins the Souika Street, the biggest and probably most animated in the medina. It leads to the Great Mosque and ends at Souk Es Sebat, the shoe market covered with reed mats and slippers full of hundreds, of leather goods and crafts, as well as gold and silver jewelry. Then it is the Rue des Consuls, partially covered by canopies, where craftsmen work under your eyes and make deep pile carpets, fabrics and brass. Going up north, you approach the gate of the Oudayas.
The Oudayas Kasbah!
This district fortress has retained its old cannons placed on a bastion. His door, beautiful and massive, entirely carved and one of the towers houses three art galleries. The white and blue facades create a very Mediterranean atmosphere. Its cobbled streets lead to the mosque El Atiqa, the oldest of the city, then to the platform of the ancient semaphore. From here, as the cafe just off Moor, the view of Rabat, its neighbor Salé, and the meeting of Bouregreg river with the ocean is simply splendid. At the top, the Oudayas Palace, which now houses the National Museum, has preserved its original ornamentation, sobriety footprints and balance. The Andalusian garden at its feet is a haven of peace planted with fruit trees, oleanders and bougainvillea cascades.
