Here is some more from my Morocco series, pictures from a trip that I took almost 25 years ago (here are my previous posts about Meknes and Tangier). I clearly remember thinking how nice it would be to be able to live in Rabat, the capital city of the country. A lot will have changed in the meantime, but it´s still on my list of potentialy interesting postings from a foreign service point of view. Rabat has a nice location not too far from the other royal cities, it´s right by the sea and just a short flight from home. From Berlin it´s within reach of a holiday trip, a one or two week re-discovery tour maybe. 

Bab el Oudaïa, one of the entrances to the Casbah.

The cemetery As-Shouhada next to the Casbah.

The Andalusian Garden, a wonderful oasis.

Hassan Tower, the unfinished Minaret of a gigantic 11th

century Mosque project which was abandoned after it´s

         initiator Sultan Yacoub al-Mansour died.

Taxi boats offering rides over the Bou Regreg, the river separating

Rabat from the neighbouring city of Salé.
