Great Attraction in Ancient Rabat with Virikson Morocco Holidays

The Kasbah des Oudayas is a city in the city, a little apart in Rabat, today even more than yesterday. But if there was only one thing to see in Rabat (what a foolish idea!), Then we should go to the Oudaïas!  It was Built in the twelfth century by the Almohad, it was formerly called Mehdiya. It is the Kasbah which gave its name to the city. The rabat is indeed a fortified convent and it is here that monks-soldiers who settled in holy war in Spain against the Christians settled in cheap holidays to morocco marrakech.

The Rabat became "Rabat El Fath", Rabat of victory ... Rabat. The hen Hornacheros and the Moriscos, Andalous Muslims expelled from Spain, landed there in the early seventeenth century, it took the name of Kasab Andalusian and even became an independent state of adventurers (with Salt) from 1621 to 1647. C ' Was in 1833, when the Oudaya tribe, focused out of Fez by the Sultan Moulay Abderrahman, settled there and was given the name Kasbah des Oudayas (or Kasbah des Oudaïas).
The "village" of the Oudaïas as we know it today is quite recent and dates from the end of the XIXth beginning of the XXème century. The Kasbah, in fact, apart from the palace, sheltered then only a few cozy houses Soldiers, as well as simple nounal ats, makeshift habitats. It was originally a military work and was essentially built to constitute an impregnable fortress. It is also the paradox of the Oudayas, this fortified building, bombed regularly by the European fleets especially in the time of the corsairs of Salé the new, is now the most peaceful place of Rabat.

however, it is for the "breathtaking" quality of the Kasbah, Rabat had the privilege of becoming an imperial capital by the grace of Sultan Mohammed ben Abdallah (1757-1790), who tired of Fez populations revolts And Marrakech made it its ultimate refuge. It was to preserve its fortified place that the medina and Kasbah of the Oudayas were never reunited and retained their own characteristics.
As soon as one penetrates the enclosure of the Oudaïas by the imposing and magnificent door Bab-Al-Oudaïas or Bab El Kebir, one immediately notices the Andalusian influence. Everything here is reminiscent of Spain, the walls uniformly covered with lime, the ubiquitous blue color, the cobbled alleys, massive doors with colorful moldings, wrought iron...

The summer, the narrow streets are delightfully fresh and clean. The inhabitants of the Oudayas managed to preserve this site. The houses are well maintained and beautifully flowered. The municipality of Rabat understood all the advantages it could derive from the tourism of this exceptional site and ensured that this area is preserved from the disparate constructions which disfigure the site, not without difficulties, evidenced by the recent disputes with some unscrupulous residents with respect for the past.

The Jamaa al-Atiq mosque was erected in 1150 during the reign of Abdelmoumen. It is the oldest in Rabat but has undergone several changes. Unlike the Medina a few hundred meters below, everything is felted.
The inhabitants slip discreetly into the shadows of the alleys. No sooner do we hear the call of the muezzin from the minaret of the Jamaa-Al-Atiq mosque, the oldest religious edifice in Rabat. Les Oudayas have become a haven for more and more artists to invest the places, seduced by the beauty of the site as much as by its quiet soothing. Gate of the mosque Jama - al-Atiq. The Alawite Sultan Sidi Mohamed ben Abdellah had this mosque rebuilt by an English renegade called Mohamed al-Inglizi.


If you are in Rabat, do not forget the Oudayas IN Morocco holidays and passing by the Bazzo street to go to the unmistakable café Maure, from where you will have a superb view on Salé and the Bouregreg, stop for a moment. To taste the silence of the place, and you can then continue your walk and take these little blue streets where nice meetings await you.

Meknes & Its Beautiful Spots To Visit In Cheap Morocco Holidays

Softer and lighter than its majestic neighbor Fez, Meknes touches rather outshined and obtains fewer visitors than it should. It’s more laid-back with less irrigation, yet still, has all the winding narrow medina streets and outstanding buildings that it permits as an imposing city and one-time home of the Moroccan sultanate.
The architect of Meknes’ glory days in cheap morocco holidays, built by Sultan Moulay Ismail, might be a little dissatisfied at the city’s current modesty, but visitors will find much to be charmed by. Remnants of no less than three groups of fortifications, inventively combined into the city's road networks, make it clear how vital this city once was.
 Is Fez pouring you nuts? Nearby Meknes is a lively, modern city bustling with entertainment, restaurants and an imposing royal palace. Since it's comparatively ignored by most travelers, it's also free of the usual hassles (touts, faux guides, etc.) that plague the other traveler centers. While Meknes is a grand city with a lot of historical memorials and natural sites; it is also the adjacent city to the Roman ruins of Volubilis (Oualili). The prices in Meknes are amongst the most sensible in Morocco and the people are much more well-mannered and nicer than in the other cities.

The king's grave is seated at the heart of what remains of the original imposing city, bordered by an almighty imperial granary, the magnificent Bab el-Mansour – the adorers of which even Fez can't compete with – and Pl el-Hedim, a local mini-me of Marrakesh's general Djemaa el-Fna.

Some of the most beautiful places are in meekness which deserves to be visited in Morocco hotels & resorts
Bab Mansour: Bab means "gate" or "door" in Arabic, and Bab Mansour is the major and most outstanding of Meknes' many gates (27 gates). It's straight across from Place Hedim, the medina's main four-sided.

Meknes Majestic Golf Course: This place is unconditionally marvelous. The gardens are gorgeously kept and it is completely enclosed by palace walls. They have unlocked it to the public since September 2007 so now it's conceivable to slip in to have a peek. There is also a community cafe on the grounds. It's probably to eat on the terrace supervising the course but you need to book in progress.

Medersa Bou Inania: An attractive Qur'anic school.
Dar Jamai: Now a museum (Musèe Dar Jamai in French), this old fortress is situated at the back of Place Hedim. It now houses the Museum of Moroccan Arts, which is presently displaying artifacts, jewels, and old duplicates of the Qur'an. Dar Jamai is a beautiful museum with exquisite gardens on the outdoor. Lovely museum! A must visit place for

Place Hedim: Lately redone with a new structure, this square once matched Djemaa el Fna in Marrakech but is now meaningfully less exhilarating (though there are a few nice cafes and snack spots in which to people-watch).
Heri es-Souani: You can clasp a sight of the splendor of Moulay Ismail at these granaries, and sit beside the huge Agdal Basin.
Habs Qara: A huge subversive prison where Moulay Ismail supposedly kept prisoners.
Mausoleum of Moulay Ismail: Though non-Muslims are not allowable to enter, they can vision the tombs, which grip the body of Moulay Ismail and other relatives, from the arrival.

Al masjid AL Adam: Meknes' biggest and oldest standup mosque (note: Non-Muslims are not permitted entry). Moroccan holiday packages season is the best time periods to enjoy these places most visitors miss sometimes and not able to enjoy the beautiful spots.

Many of the customs, laws, and practices within Islam widely inspired the people and the culture of Morocco today.As the country develops and modernizes, many contemporary variations can be noted in the people living in main cities such as Rabat, Casablanca, and Tangier, while Fes and Marrakesh preserve the traditions of the antique world of by selecting  cheap morocco vacation packages.In smaller towns and country areas, a much dissimilar lifestyle exists, and it can be hard to trust that in a country a little greater than the overall size of California, such a variance exists. In the cities, you will find cars, buses, and taxis making the streets piercing and busy while tall buildings infiltrate the skyline. Yet, in the rustic areas, a camel or donkey is the mode of transport among the small houses and farmlands or dessert lands. The suitability of cafes, restaurants and grocery stores are missing in these places and people often rely on trading goods rather than buying them.


PEOPLE AND VALUE:
The people of Morocco are caring, warm, and well-known around the world for their generosity. A Moroccan, after having just met you, will request you to his home for a dinner of all they have to give, even if they are of scanty means. They value building personal relations and want to help others for the sake of it, not always for their own individual gain. The family is important to Moroccans and you will often find prolonged family gathering for meals, tea, and visits.
Moroccans will often ask you about the health and well-being of your own family, even if they have never met them. They have an honest interest in concern for other people. Personal honor and respect are most important to Moroccans so crossing these lines can quickly turn an appreciated relationship sour almost directly.
The innovation of Morocco hotels & resorts continues as technology accompaniments, free-trade agreements open, and the people hold the amenities of the Western world.

However, these things are still reserved for the rich and have a long way to go before anyone will ever be able to take them for decided in Morocco. With renowned beaches and Mountains, unique fashion sense,  this country is best to spend cheap morocco holidays with friends and family.
