Morocco





Morocco facts & history in brief

Rabat
Excerpted from Wikipedia, the free encyclopaedia.


Rabat, population 787,745 (1994), is the capital of the Kingdom of Morocco.
The city is located on the Atlantic Ocean at the mouth of the Bou Regreg estuary.
Unfortunately, silting problems have diminished the city's role as a port, but it maintains an important textile industry.
There have been settlements on the site since ancient times.
It became a Muslim fortress circa 700.
Prior to Moroccan independence in 1956, Rabat was capital of the French protectorate of Morocco.
Muhammad V University is located in the city.


This information was current & correct December 2004.





Rabat is the beautiful capital city of Morocco.
It was about 6.30 pm, when we arrived in Rabat and managed to find a hotel just across the road from the station, it looked OK and was reasonably priced.
After a quick shower and change, we went out to look around the town, and walked right into the night market at the end off the very wide and beautiful boulevard running front of our hotel.
We did buy a few things at the market, that was noisy and very colourful.
After a early rise and breakfast we went to explore Rabat, from head to toe.
Most of the town is fairly new, clean and tidy.
