Russian Orthodox Church

Holy Resurrection Church in Rabat is a functioning Russian Orthodox Church in Morocco. The church was built in 1932 and painted completely by icon-painters from Moscow in 2011. You can visit the church any day when priest is in town, which is most of the time.

Reviewed By irina60 - Bucharest, Romania

For a Romanian traveler, the Russian church was a very pleasant discovery on a Sunday afternoon in the area of Anass residences in Rabat. From outside it looks more like a Greek church. The inside is small, but with beautiful interior decorations and beautiful orthodox icons. The Sunday religious service was over by the time I went there, but the priest was still in the church and he seemed very kind and friendly.

I was really impressed with the wide array of crafts available at this complex. You can see artisans at work and quality is quite good. It wasn't crowded when I visited and I wasn't hassled at all. If you'd in Rabat and want to buy souvenirs, this is well worth the visit.

Hassan Tower

The unfinished minaret surrounded by two hundred columns is Rabat's most famous monument.

Reviewed By dennism259 - Salado, United States

The Hassan Tower and Mohamed V Mausoleum in Rabat, Morocco are the last two building projects of Sultan Yacoub al Mansour. He died during construction of the mosque and it was never finished. You can look at the mosques he built in Andalusia, Spain to get a feel for what it would have looked like. The minaret is only half as tall as planned and many of the columns have decayed, but it’s still impressive. Several pieces of the original 12th century wall remain. The roof was never installed which caused the decay. He is buried in the mausoleum across from the mosque.

Rabat Old Town

Morocco's capital city was founded in the 12th century. Its modern downtown area has many historic sights, shops and nightlife attractions.

Reviewed By willskeates - Belgrave, Australia

The capital of Morocco Rabat it in total contrast of Casablanca , wide tree lined streets a cosmopolitan feel side walk cafes and a little of a calmer pace. The casbar in the old town with its original fortress walls are a picture of time gone by. Meandering though the narrow cobblestone streets past many a wall painted in whitr and blue and sone very ornate doors our guide told us the history of the casbar. Pirates, Mores , Slaves , early European traders whoe purchsaed the pillaged itemes from the pirates to sell back in Europe. The casbar sits above the very blue Atlantic ocean. Further meandering fondus in a unexpected garden left frome the Mores days. Rabat is a must on any tour you do in Morocco.
