A visit to the Kasbah (translation: a walled area). 

Sultan Yacoub al Mansour, who built the famous Koutoubia Mosque in Marrakesh, hired an Arab tribe (the Oudayas) to defend the city and refortified the area. Set in Morocco’s capital on the mouth of the Bou Regreg river, the Udayas Kasbah (or as it’s also known, Oudayas Kasbah) is one of the country’s most unique sites. Originally built in the 12th century and renovated many times since throughout the centuries, it has been home to Arab tribes, Andalusian immigrants, and some of Morocco’s most powerful sultans. Walk up the steps leading to the imposing gate of Bab Oudaya and discover the winding streets of the Kasbah that will take you to Rabat’s oldest mosque, beautiful gardens, and an exquisite museum. 
Entry and my guide
Inside the gate.
Crazy alleyways all over, you do need a guide!
Cats everywhere, no dogs.
Looking back at the entry.
People live here!
