  • Morocco (November, 2013) Part I - Rabat
    Morocco (November, 2013) Part I - Rabat Storks & Minarets If your minaret does not have storks on it, it isn't a real minaret. This one is in Chellah, or Sala Colonia, a necropolis and complex of ancient Roman Mauretania Tingitana and medieval ruins at the outskirts of Rabat. The Djellaba Even the locals were cold. This man is wearing a djellaba; a Berber traditional long, loose-fitting outer robe with full sleeves. Later on during this trip it got even colder and my layered technique to keep warm was not doing so well. I purchased one of these in heavy wool as an additional outer layer and it worked great. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Page 1 Flying Pig Adventures: Volume 14 - Morocco, Part I - Rabat Copyright 2013, Wally Hampton, All Rights Reserved ~ [email protected] ~ www.WallyHampton.com Rabat cemetary Cimetière As-Shouhada' looking west out into the Atlantic towards North Carolina.

  • WHV - Let Us Work for Udayas Rabat, Modern Capital and Historic City: a Shared Heritage, Morocco
    WHV - Let us work for Udayas Rabat, Modern Capital and Historic City: a Shared Heritage, Morocco Cultural property inscribed on the List of World 09/07/2017 – 25/07/2017 Heritage since 2012 Rabat, Modern Capital and Historic City is located on the Atlantic coast in the north-west of Morocco. The site is the product of a fertile exchange between the Arabo-Muslim past and Western modernism. The inscribed city encompasses the new town conceived and built under the French Protectorate from 1912 to the 1930s, including royal and administrative areas, residential and commercial developments and the Jardins d’Essais botanical and pleasure gardens. It also encompasses older parts of the city dating back to the 12thcentury. The new town is one of the largest and most ambitious modern urban projects built in Africa in the 20th century and probably the most complete. The older parts include Hassan Mosque (begun in 1184) and the Almohad ramparts and gates, the only surviving parts of the project for a great capital city of the Almohad caliphate as well as remains from the Moorish, or Andalusian, principality of the 17thcentury. Project objectives: The project aims at raising awareness about the site and the value of cultural heritage among residents of the Kasbah of the Udayas, which composes a part of the world heritage site of Rabat, local authorities and visitors. It also aims at contributing to its preservation through cleaning, gardening and maintenance activities. Project activities: The volunteers will participate in restoration, maintenance, gardening and cleaning activities at the site and its surroundings.

  • The Imperial Cities

Visit the imperial cities of Morocco, covering the four historical capitals: Fez, Marrakech, Meknes, and Rabat, the current capital of Morocco. These cities represents capitals at different time and by different monarchs from the Moroccan dynasties Day - 2 Fes Rabat – Meknes / Volubilis - Fes (B, D) After breakfast, departure to Rabat, recently granted UNESCO Heritage Site status. Rabat, the administrative capital of Morocco, was founded in 1146 by the Almohads, as a fortress (the name Rabat comes from the Arabic ribaat, meaning ‘fortified place’) from where to launch attacks on Spain A few years after the capital of the Empire was moved there by Yaqub al Mansour, under whose reign the Koutoubia in Marrakech had been built. He started to build in Rabat what would be the world’s largest mosque at the time, but works stopped when he died; the unfinished minaret known as Hassan Tower – less than half its intended height – bear witness of this attempt. Yaqub al Mansour also erected the city walls and expanded and restored the Kasbah of the Udayas, former stronghold of the Almoravids in the area. In Rabat is located also the Mausoleum of Mohamed V, grandfather of the current King of Morocco. A masterpiece of modern Moroccan architecture. Continue to the Imperial city of Meknes known as the “Moroccan Versailles” and founded in the 17th century by King Moulay Ismail. Meknes is famous for its 25-milelong walls. There are numerous historic sites to see and here we name but a few; the massive gate of Bab Mansour, The Bassin de L’Agdal a massive 400m x 100m pool dating back some 300 years.

  • Maroko by Igor Maroko
    Maroko by Igor Maroko Přes Španělsko Do Tangeru a dále na jih Maroko, arabsky: ?????? (al-Maghrib, doslova „Západ“), je stát na nejzazším severozápadě Afriky. Jeho sousedy jsou na východě Alžírsko, na jihu Západní Sahara (uznáme-li ji za součást Maroka, pak Maroko sousedí na jihu s Mauritánií) a na severu dvě malé španělské exklávy Ceuta a Melilla. Historie osídlení Maroka sahají až do starověku. V jeskyních Vysokého Atlasu byly objeveny skalní kresby z mladší doby kamenné. V letech kolem roku 1000 př. n. l. bylo Maroko úrodnou a zalesněnou zemí a tudíž se tamní lid zabýval zejména zemědělstvím. Ve 2. století př. n. l. zakládali na území dnešního Maroka své osady Féničané podél obchodních cest. Po jejich pádu přišli do Maroka Římané, kteří do roku 40 př. n. l. tuto oblast spojili se západní částí dnešního Alžírska a dali tak základ provincii Mauretania Tingitana. Díky tomu, že Berbeři žili kočovným životem a nezakládali města, a tudíž nebylo co dobývat, se ubránili římské nadvládě a stáhli se do vnitrozemí, odkud podnikali výpady na římské osady a tábory. Toto období je specifické rychlým šířením pouštních oblastí, neboť Římané bezohledně káceli místní lesy a nestarali se o jejich obnovu. V zemi tak klesala hladina pozemní vody a celá oblast pustla (v současnosti je zemědělsky využitelná přibližně jen třetina marockého území). Římská nadvláda skončila v 5. století, kdy Římany vypudili Vandalové a založili královskou říši. V ní však tvořili pouze málo početnou horní vrstvu a záhy splynuly s původním berberským obyvatelstvem. V 6. století bylo území Maroka obsazeno Byzantskou (Východořímskou) říší. Od roku 640 si začali západní Afriku podrobovat islámští Arabové původem z dnešní Saúdské Arábie.
