Re-live the glory of these cities, with visits in between to Fes, Casablanca, Marrakech and Rabat on this unforgettable journey from Costa del Sol. The oldest former capital is Fes, which was established in the ninth century under Sultan Idriss II. After the fall of his dynasty, Marrakech became the capital under the Almoravides, but Fes regained status as capital twice since under different rulers. In the 12th century under Almohad control, Rabat was built and became the capital before being replaced by Meknes during the rule of Morocco's notorious sultan Moulay Ismael. Rabat again became capital under the French protectorate, and has since retained the title after Morocco’s independence. **Tours will be multilingual Highlights: Ferry across the Mediterranean Panoramic tour of Fez Mansour Gate in Meknes Fortune tellers, snake charmers, acrobats and dancers Tour of Casablanca's monuments Mohamed V Mausoleum and the Hassan Tower Itinerary Day 1 - Welcome to Morocco Breakfast at the hotel.

Destination Information Casablanca Casablanca is a city in western Morocco, located on the Atlantic Ocean. It is the capital of the Greater Casablanca region. With a population of 3.1 million (3.85 million in "greater Casablanca" according to the September 2005 census), Casablanca is Morocco's largest city as well as its chief port. It's also the biggest city in the Maghreb and the sixth biggest city in the entire continent of Africa. Casablanca is considered the economic capital of Morocco because it is the heart of Moroccan business. Casablanca has a mild Mediterranean climate with warm, dry summers and mild, rainy winters, with little seasonal temperature variation and a lack of extreme heat and extreme cold. Costa del Sol The Costa del Sol ("Sun Coast") is a region in the south of Spain, in the autonomous community of Andalusia, comprising the coastal towns and communities along the Mediterranean coastline of the Málaga province. Formerly made up only of a series of small, quiet fishing settlements, the region has been completely transformed during the latter part of the 20th century into a tourist destination of world renown. Costa del Sol is a popular destination for foreign tourists not only for its beaches but also for its local culture. The area is particularly famous for its towns like Marbella, which provides the Costa del Sol with its reputation for being a playground for the rich and famous. Fes Fes or Fez is the fourth largest city in Morocco, after Casablanca, Rabat and Marrakech with a population of 946,815 (2004 census). It is the capital of the Fès-Boulemane region. Fes is one of the four so-called "imperial cities" (the others are Marrakech, Meknes and Rabat). It is separated into three parts, Fes el Bali (the old, walled city), Fes-Jdid (new Fes, home of the Mellah), and the Ville Nouvelle (the French-created, newest section of Fes). The Medina of Fes el Bali, the larger of the two medinas of Fes, is believed to be the largest contiguous car-free Imperial Morocco Revisited(© www.palacetours.com) 2/9 urban area in the world. Fes el Bali is classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Marrakech Marrakech or Marrakesh, known as the "Red City", is an important and former imperial city in Morocco. It has a population of 1,070,838 (as of 2004), and is the capital of the mid-southwestern economic region of Marrakech-Tensift-Al Haouz, near the foothills of the snow-capped Atlas Mountains. Like many North African and Middle Eastern cities, Marrakech comprises both an old fortified city (the médina) and an adjacent modern city (called Gueliz). Marrakech has the largest traditional market (souk) in Morocco and also has one of the busiest squares in Africa and the world, Djemaa el Fna. Meknes Meknes is a city in northern Morocco, located 130 kilometers from the capital Rabat and 60 kilometers from Fes. Meknes was the capital of Morocco under the reign of Moulay Ismail (1672– 1727), before it was relocated to Rabat. The population is 950,322 (2006 estimate) and it is the capital of the Meknes-Tafilalet region. Meknes is named after a Berber tribe which was known as Miknasa in the medieval Arabic sources Rabat Rabat is the capital of the Kingdom of Morocco and the capital of the Rabat-Salé- Zemmour-Zaer region. The city is located on the Atlantic Ocean at the mouth of the river Bou Regreg. On the facing shore of the river lies Salé, Rabat's bedroom community. Together the two cities with Témara account for a population of 2 million. Unfortunately, silting problems have diminished the city's role as a port; however, Rabat and Salé still maintain relatively important textile, food processing and construction industries. Tourism and the presence of all foreign embassies in Morocco serve to make Rabat the second most important city in the country after the larger and more economically significant Casablanca. Tangier Tangier or Tangiers is a city in northern Morocco with a population of about 700,000. It lies on the North African coast at the western entrance to the Strait of Gibraltar where the Mediterranean meets the Atlantic Ocean off Cape Spartel. It is the capital of the Tangier-Tétouan Region and of the Tangier-Assilah Prefecture within that region.

  • Balanced Adaptive Simulation of Pollutant Transport in Bay of Tangier (Morocco)
    ISSN 1 746-7233, England, UK World Journal of Modelling and Simulation Vol. 10 (2014) No. 1, pp. 3-19 Balanced adaptive simulation of pollutant transport in Bay of Tangier (Morocco) Elmiloud Chaabelasri1∗, Alistair George Liam Borthwick2, Najim Salhi1, Imad Elmahi3 1 LME, Faculte´ des Sciences, BP 717, 60000 Oujda, Maroc 2 Department of Engineering Science, University of Oxford, Parks Road, Oxford OX1 3PJ, UK 3 EMCS, ENSAO, Complexe universitaire, B.P. 669, 60000 Oujda, Maroc (Received February 19 2013, Accepted December 17 2013) Abstract. A balanced adaptive scheme is proposed for the numerical solution of the coupled non-linear shal- low water equations and depth-averaged advection-diffusion pollutant transport equation. The scheme uses the Roe approximate Riemann solver with centred discretization for advection terms and the Vazquez scheme for source terms. It is designed to handle non-uniform bed topography on triangular unstructured meshes, while satisfying the conservation property. Dynamic mesh adaptation criteria are based on the local pollutant concentration gradients. The model is validated for steady flow over irregular bed topography, recirculation due to a sidewall expansion in a frictionless channel, and pollution advection in a flat-bottomed channel. An idealised application to the simulation of pollution dispersion in the Bay of Tangier, Morocco is presented, which demonstrates the capability of the dynamically adaptive grid model to represent water quality scenarios in a bay of non-uniform bed topography and complicated shoreline. Keywords: shallow water equations, pollutant transport, finite volume method, roe solver, dynamic mesh adaptation, unstructured meshes 1 Introduction Pollution of the Strait of Gibraltar has increased significantly in recent decades as a by-product of the growth of maritime transportation activities.

  • 1 the Moroccan Colonial Archive and the Hidden History of Moroccan
    1 The Moroccan Colonial Archive and the Hidden History of Moroccan Resistance Maghreb Review, 40:1 (2014), 108-121. By Edmund Burke III Although the period 1900-1912 was replete with numerous important social upheavals and insurrections, many of which directly threatened the French position in Morocco, none of them generated a contemporaneous French effort to discover what went wrong. Instead, the movements were coded as manifestations of supposedly traditional Moroccan anarchy and xenophobia and as such, devoid of political meaning. On the face of it, this finding is surprising. How could a French policy that billed itself as “scientific imperialism” fail to consider the socio-genesis of Moroccan protest and resistance? Despite its impressive achievements, the Moroccan colonial archive remains haunted by the inability of researchers to pierce the cloud of orientalist stereotypes that occluded their vision of Moroccan society as it actually was. For most historians, the period of Moroccan history between 1900 and 1912 is primarily known as “the Moroccan Question.” A Morocco-centered history of the Moroccan Question was impossible for Europeans to imagine. Moroccan history was of interest only insofar as it shed light on the diplomatic origins of World War I. European diplomats were the main actors in this drama, while Moroccans were pushed to the sidelines or reduced to vulgar stereotypes: the foolish and spendthrift sultan Abd al-Aziz and his fanatic and anarchic people. Such an approach has a degree of plausibility, since the “Moroccan Question” chronology does provide a convenient way of structuring events: the Anglo-French Accord (1904), the landing of the Kaiser at Tangier (1905), the Algeciras conference (1906), the landing of French troops at Casablanca (1907), the Agadir incident (1911) and the signing of the protectorate treaty (1912).

    CONSEIL D’ADMINISTRATION DU 17 Mars 2021 RAPPORT DU CONSEIL D’ADMINISTRATION SUR LES OPERATIONS DE L’EXERCICE 2020 A L’ASSEMBLEE GENERALE ORDINAIRE ANNUELLE Messieurs les Actionnaires, Nous vous avons réuni en Assemblée Générale Ordinaire Annuelle, conformément à la loi et à l’article 22 des statuts, pour entendre le rapport du Conseil d’Administration et celui des Commissaires aux Comptes sur l’exercice clos le 31 décembre 2020. Avant d’analyser l’activité de la Compagnie, nous voudrions vous rappeler brièvement l’environnement économique international et national dans lequel elle a évolué ainsi que le contexte du secteur des assurances. CONTEXTE A l’international Dans un contexte de crise inédit, l’économie mondiale a connu une sévère récession en 2020 (- 3,7% selon la Banque Mondiale), frappée de plein fouet par la pandémie du COVID-19. Confrontée à une grave crise sanitaire (plus de 28,6 millions de cas au 28/02/2021), l’économie américaine a perdu 3,6% en 2020, la pire récession depuis 1946, affectée par les effets de la pandémie. Après une forte remontée du PIB au 3ème trimestre 2020 (+33,1% en glissement annuel), la reprise s’est affaiblie au 4ème trimestre 2020 suite à la résurgence des infections au Coronavirus et la mise en place de nouvelles restrictions locales. Pour sa part, la croissance en Zone Euro accuse un repli historique de 6,8% en 2020 en raison de l’aggravation de la situation sanitaire et la multiplication des mesures de confinement dans la plupart des grandes économies de la Zone. Le recul le plus marqué est en Espagne (-11%) contre -8,8% pour l’Italie, -8,3% pour la France et -5% pour l’Allemagne.
