The Almohad ramparts and gates date back to the 12th century. Located on the stunning North Africa’s Atlantic coastline at the mouth of the mythical Bou Regreg river, where the magnificent Bouregreg marina has excellent facilities for yachts and boats.

The picturesque Kasbah of the Oudaias fortifications, the unique minaret Hassan Tower and impressive necropolis at Chellah are witness to the many Mediterranean civilisations of this ancient place.
