Since the movie "Mission Impossible 5" made it famous, the Udaya Castle has become a popular tourist destination. In the movie, Tom Cruise's car racing scene in the castle, where he drove directly from the steps of the castle into the sea, was filmed here.
Kasbah of the Udayas is an ancient castle complex on the Atlantic Ocean. It was built in the 12th century during the Berber Dynasty. It is small, elegant, and lush with flowers and trees, and has the typical style of Andalusian garden architecture. The castle retains Berber houses and streets with a unique style. This is a paradise for cats, and you can see cats taking a nap everywhere.

mousoleum of Mohammed V is based in Rabat. Capital of morocco
Very impressive building, built and installed by Moroccan soldiers, all in No. 1 formalwear. The workmanship of the decoration is unbelievable. Well chosen panoramic views. You can enter the mausoleum itself and are allowed to take pictures (which is surprising).

Rabat is the capital of Morocco, so the royal palace of Morocco is in Rabat. When we visit Rabat, we can fully experience the long history and unique culture of Morocco. It is a very beautiful tourist attraction.
A distant view of the Oudaya Kasbah, a stroll along the Mother River in Rabat, encountering local surfing 🏄♀️ guys, taking a photo with the tallest building in Africa, a distant view of the newly completed Grand Theatre inspired by a snake 🐍 head, and lunch at a French restaurant.

The ruins of Chela are the remains of the royal mausoleums of the ancient city of Chela during the Meyninid dynasty of Morocco. It is located near the royal palace and was reduced to ruins during the Lisbon earthquake in 1775. It is now overgrown with grass and has become a habitat for storks.
Starting from Fez, after passing Meknes, you will see this exquisite ancient Roman ruins, which was built in the third century BC and abandoned in the eleventh century BC. It is now listed as a World Cultural Heritage. The human eye is the best wide-angle lens, and this place is as beautiful as the Milky Way in the desert.

It's similar to the old city of Fez, but smaller. Along the wet Flagstone floor, it looks like entering the vegetable farm. Fruits and vegetables, fish and chickens, and even pigeons; olives are made in more than a dozen ways, very grounded.
I really love the Rabat old town. It's small but it has great ocean views, meandering small streets, blue walls, and so much colour everywhere. Steeped in so much history, I could have stayed a bit longer here to take more photos.
