As Morocco celebrates the 50th anniversary of the Green March on November 6th, the Kasbah of the Udayas and the waterfront promenade along the Bouregreg estuary attracted a large influx of visitors. Throughout the day, numerous citizens, as well as tourists from various regions of the Kingdom and abroad, converged on this iconic site in the capital, transported in particular by tourist buses.

Under a radiant sky, a diverse audience came to (re)discover this veritable 12th-century fortress, marked by its monumental Almohad gate. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Kasbah of the Udayas stands out as one of Rabat's historical and scenic gems. With its Andalusian garden, its museum, and its narrow streets lined with white and azure facades, the site offers visitors an experience blending heritage, landscape, and tranquility. Overlooking the mouth of the Bouregreg River, the village commands a waterfront bustling with traditional boats and strollers, enhancing the site's tourist appeal. Having become, over time, a true haven of peace and inspiration for numerous Moroccan and international artists, the Kasbah captivates as much by the beauty of its setting as by the soothing atmosphere it exudes. Famous for its Moorish café, it offers an authentic interlude where you can sip mint tea while enjoying traditional pastries, including gazelle horns.

Met at the site's exit, Bahaeddine, of Tunisian father and Moroccan mother, made no secret of his enthusiasm:"I came with my mother, Souad, and other family members to get to know these places better after their restoration and to enjoy this beautiful holiday," he confided. For his part, Erich, an Australian tourist accompanied by his wife, emphasized how much he enjoyed the mint tea and almond cakes, praising both the warm welcome and the unique charm of the Kasbah of the Udayas.
