You will be met on arrival at Tangier’s International Port to set out for a quick tour of this cosmopolitan city before continuing on your 4 hours’ drive south alongside the Atlantic Ocean, passing through the towns of Asilah, Larache and Kenitra to the administrative Imperial capital since 1912 of the Kingdom of Morocco, Rabat (R’bat al Fat’h) - one of the four Imperial Cities, founded in the 12th century (R’bat meaning fortified convent). Subject always to your time of arrival in Tangier, this evening in Rabat is at leisure, perhaps to relax around in your hotel or riad or venture out into the souqs with your guide before dinner. D. DAY 2: RABAT - MEKNES - VOLUBILIS - FES. Sightseeing of Rabat starts with a drive through this graceful city of parks and gardens along Victory Avenue to the Méchouar Precinct of the King’s Palace. Regrettably, the Palace is not open to the public, but we can savour and photograph its impressive arches, redolent of the finest Islamic architecture. Next we arrive at the Chellah, once a prosperous Roman enclave called Sala Colonia in their Mauretania Tingitane Province, to be abandoned late in the 5th century, thence to fall into ruins to be transformed, late in the 14th century during the reign of the Merinides Sultanate, into a vast cemetery, their Necropolis, where we find also some Roman excavations. This Necropolis was destroyed by the earthquake of 1755 and is today a beautiful garden of date and banana palm trees, hibiscus, bougainvilla, olive and fig trees. -

Introduction Which strategic water policy options are semi arid, developing, Muslim, countries going to take in order to face the dilemmas that typically characterize the dual – and potentially conflicting – aspiration to modernize the economy whilst respecting traditional socio- political practices and ways of life? This chapter focuses on the case of Morocco, described as one of the most liberal countries of the Muslim Arab world - and yet as a country that is keen to balance traditions and modernity -, in view of articulating a reflection on the conflicting interests that can clash when critical environmental and economic choices have to be made to position a developing country into the 21st century’s globalised world. -
Ethnography of the Fez Medina (Morocco) September 2013
Living in a World Heritage Site: ethnography of the Fez medina (Morocco) A dissertation by Manon Istasse submitted to the Department of Political and Social Sciences of the Free University of Brussels for the degree of Doctor in Anthropology Members of the jury: David Berliner (University of Brussels) Mathieu Hilgers (University of Brussels) Jean-Louis Genard (University of Brussels) Christoph Brumann (Max Planck Institute in Halle) Lynn Meskell (University of Stanford) September 2013 i Acknowledgments Carrying a fieldwork investigation and writing a dissertation is only made possible with the help and support of such a number of people that I can scarcely do justice to all in what follows. Furthermore, words alone are hardly adequate to fully express my gratitude for the kindness and guidance each and every one awarded me during these four years of joy, satisfaction, and difficulties between Fez and Rabat in Morocco, Brussels in Belgium, Halle in Germany, as well as the many cities which hosted conferences and other academic events I took part in. I must begin this list of acknowledgments by thanking the financial support I received from the Fonds National de la Recherche Scientifique (FNRS) in Belgium, without which any research would have been impossible in the first place. Deep and sincere thanks go to those who, in one way or another, made my research possible: Jawad Yousfi and his family for their warm welcome in their house and for the many discussions and debates we had, Abdelhay Mezzour for his support and help with the Ziyarates -
