Rabat city doors, fences and History

Cities such as women , each one of them , as they say , perfume and charm in memory. And Rabat, Morocco's capital management is characterized by its original flavor derived from the walls of the tourist and archaeological museums and gates famous and historic landmarks entrenched in the foot. Was founded by Jacob Mansour Almohad year 593 of immigration , corresponding to 1198 AD

If the city form the site crossing for convoys of tourist coming from abroad , they are recorded , however, the proportion of housing are ok, go up especially in the summer, on the occasion of the festival 's annual « balance » which has become an annual appointment , preferring to have a lot of lovers frequency vast gardens Faha , where plays calm , amid greenery , timeless. Administrative city streets devoid of pedestrians in the hours following the evening , to wake up in the morning, ready to catch the offices of government ministries and departments , where time flows such as continuous heavy turtle lazy relaxed and submissive to daydream

This does not mean that the city remains deserted of people , or free movement , but that the key attribute her throughout the daylight hours , is the boom , what that is flooded with morning sun in the first moments of the morning , even turn into a real cell ripple of vitality and enthusiasm , like a young in the twenty -year-old full of love , hope and dream

Is a historic city Vintage , this is true , but it is constantly replenished , and qualify to embrace the future through new projects are in the majority character of tourism and recreational and urban , such as the creation of the two banks of the Bouregreg and directed its coast on the Atlantic Ocean from its isolation , providing structures and tourist promotion of accommodation capacity to receive guests and visitors

Do not neglect never the same , even though some of the wrinkles that invade features returns by age and neglect human

Caring to rectify some of the errors and ensure the preservation of the cultural hereditary , has recently been restored historical sites start processing fences with lights and floodlights

Before that , it was some time ago tiling the floor of Mohamed V Avenue , marble , at a cost of considerable financial , raised a lot of controversy

The purpose behind this process to give a tinge of modernization and beauty on this main artery into which all the streets , which intersect all the steps , and converge when all the faces in the cafes and shops planted on the flanks consistently. And the scene in its entirety , it seems overly luster and harmony , starting from the mosque « Year » famous , and passing through the train station , where derogatory swarms of doves near Fountains flush with water  which gives the place greenery and palm trees , familiarity and , and thus allowing photographers street to take pictures of the anniversary , for some visitors and tourists crossing the garden in front of the Parliament , and in the Mohamed V Avenue Hotel stands « Balima » as an attraction and political at the same time , they touched by a series of historical events to contemporary Morocco

I've been Hotel « Balima » shelter for a long time and a place of pilgrimage for political and media figures from inside and outside the country , too, was disparaging the backpacker for being the center of the country and its proximity to the departments

But as long as it spawned rumors of political like fungus , fell to governments , and other governments stepped misplaced ! All this in sessions on coffee mugs , cups or mint tea , the cafe terrace , opposite the Parliament

Perhaps this is the strategic location of the hotel « Balima » is what won him fame sweeper in the popular imagination of Morocco , and making it enters the contemporary history of the door wide , as a space meets the political elite and the press , cultural , agree and disagree and think aloud in discussions about topical issues and affairs and anxieties

At one stage , there was a « Sultan Balima » promotes and come on, and wanders , ruler real , dressed in his uniform authentic traditional , and , while it is , in fact , just a simple citizen taken from this appearance inspiring take pride in the power , means and source of income and fraud

Many tales to tell about the dumps and the rhythm of many people , young and old , taking advantage of the naivety of some of them and their confidence in its external profile which gives the impression that , for those who do not know him well , prestige and influence. And later disappeared « Sultan Balima » disappeared as other features touched last change , the long months and the largest street in the city , under the pretext of development


In the center of the city spread popular cafes and restaurants , which provide their patrons everything from couscous to lentils , and fish to « » with cups of tea . Among the most famous spaces in this place , space « union » , near the bus station plaza « door Sunday » , which is currently the subject of other touches of innovation , through changing tracks

This space named « union » is not a place for gatherings and trade union struggles and labor , as may come to mind , but a cafe , a popular restaurant , but the oldest , its doors are open day and night  in the face of residents and visitors alike. Long chairs , eating a varied , diverse colors of Moroccan cooking , but « » or bean soup , which is a basic element of beans , is the headline for a list of diets high-demand here . The place looks upon the effects of bygone decades , but recently began to invade the marble walls did not touch dyeing time since the era of its history, no one remembers exactly . Here in this popular restaurant is very famous , intellectuals and artists Moroccans , in time , come to him individually and collectively , after midnight , their sessions and discourses loud , about the various intellectual currents of cash on the text and intertextuality , other terms that prevailed then perished ... ! Most painters , poets and critics have passed through here , ate and drank and , and went out in last night , and they and tearing the guise of night, star-studded , laughter and guffaws , and some of them record those memories in some of the writings , making reference to the stage of live convolutions memory

And yet some still hesitate to place , between the time periods are too far apart , driven by nostalgia , or the so-called « nostalgia » , to revive kinship with the cafe was one day , the meeting place preferred, to crown the evening , they eat « Kaware » or chicken meal hot Casserole in a variety of vegetables as pallets plastic real

Only cats do not depart from the cafe , remain parties to the pots of the night and the day, the spirit and come down tables , at the feet of customers . When drowsiness , to give up his power safe and secure , not only marred by the sound of spoons over dishes , and calls waiters welcoming all the guests

This popular restaurant has the right as he said it with a day of intellectuals , to raise the slogan « eating democracy » . All social groups find it what it wants , according to the budgets of their pockets , beggars , to the staff , painters, travelers and passers-by . And Rabat , as a meeting point ancient civilization and history , is also the city of hospitality with all their properties and forms , and unique restaurants trendy scattered through various neighborhoods , providing all the dishes Eastern and Western European , in addition to eating the Moroccan exemplary in pleasure, because it satisfies all tastes . There are restaurants on the beach lying on the Atlantic Ocean , mainly specialized in cooking fresh fish contained them just from the sea

If « All roads lead to Rome » the entry to the city of Rabat, the old fenced by walls , not only through the gates of historical famous five : « door Sunday » , « door to altitude » « door Challa » , « door  door navigator

Each door leads to piles of spaces intoxicates the distant past , and interact with the present and shifts its innovation

Among those places « peduncle » , which is a world strange and bizarre , flowing movement , people and crowds , where the piling up of goods coming from all zones, and all types , both of which the original or fake , on the shelves of shops narrow accommodate barely owners, amid the rubble of goods

A popular market and trendy , at the same time , selling everything and anything , side by side in the shops nearby , as are assigned to each other : fruit, meat , vegetables and spices , perfumes , traditional clothing and old fashion trendy in the fashion world , and plastic utensils , dishes , concave , and mobile phones , computers and digital devices , and the latest developments in modern technology , and in  many of them in particular

The fans can manufactures and textiles handmade ornaments to find the desired , all that dreaming of souvenirs , the ancient city is famous for its traditional handed down from father to son , fingers of gold in the crucible of magnificence and beauty

The carpet industry ligamentous , for example , hit fame Hobo and quality , has become even serve as an ambassador for the authenticity of the Moroccan abroad

Therefore foreign tourists keen on acquired , and take her with them , Asaha warms homes in cold colors light and simplicity of their fees and decoration and . The ligament is an Arab city par excellence , has opened her arms to embrace and receive members of immigrant families from Andalusia , after the fall of Granada , they found the bulwark , shelter and sanctuary , and merged with the population in the merger complete , and became part of them , and they had a clear impact in the architecture , engineering , heritage, literature, music, singing , still borne visible yet
