📍📍 Rabat 📍📍 👉👉The fertile plains inland from Rabat drew settlers to the area as far back as the 8th century BC. Both the Phoenicians and the Romans set up trading posts in the estuary of the Bou-regrag river in Sala, today’s Chellah. The Roman settlement, Sala Colonia, lasted long after the empire’s fall and eventually became the seat of an independent Berber Kingdom. The Zenata Berber’s built a ribat, a fortress-monastery from which the city takes its name,on the site of Rabat’s present Kasbah. As the new town of Sale(created in the 10th century ) began to prosper on the north bank of the river, the city of Chellah fell into decline. 👉👉Morocco’s political and administrative capital may be short on top-drawer tourist attractions, but it compensates with plenty of charm. The Ville Nouvelles palm-lined boulevards are clean, well kept and relatively free of traffic – a blessed relief for those who have spent time in Casablanca. There's a clean central beach, an intact and evocative kasbah, and an attractive walled medina that is far less touristy than those in other large cities. 👇👇INSTAGRAM 👇👇 @moroccofriendlytravel #rabat#artisan#Imperialcity#explore#travelphotography#travel#photography#travelblogger#marruecos#rabatt#morocco#maroc#moroccan#Марокко #marokko #marruecos #travel #marrakesh #casablanca #travelmorocco #africa #atlasmountains#摩洛哥#モロッコ #hassantower#sunset#architecture#archeologicalsite#moroccofriendlytravel
