The imposing Kasbah of the Udayas has been standing guard over the city of Rabat for hundreds of years and beckons visitors to step inside and learn about centuries of Moroccan culture and history. The kasbah is surrounded by intimidating walls that are over 8 meters in height and between 2 and 3 meters thick and boasts a massive gateway that incorporates two richly decorated towers. If the walls could speak, they would tell fascinating tales of war and piracy spanning several centuries. Today you can step through the imposing doorway to explore narrow winding streets lined with shops, courtyards, and gardens, see Rabat’s oldest mosque and the Museum of Traditional Arts, or admire the wonderful views as you enjoy a cup of sweet mint tea.
