16 Oct 2026Absolutely gorgeous, don't skip it We loved the Kasbah of the Udayas. The little lanes are all blue and white, with bright doors and flowers everywhere, and every corner looks like a photo waiting to happen. It's calm and charming, a nice break from the busier parts of Rabat. The best part for us was the terrace at the top. The view is stunning: the ocean on one side, the river flowing into the sea, and Salé just across the water. We watched the waves hit the rocks and saw surfers out on the beach below. It's the kind of spot where you just want to stand there for a while and take it all in. If you can, go near sunset. It's also fun knowing the history while you walk around. The kasbah started as a fortress back in the 1100s, and later pirates actually used it as a base. The big old gate at the entrance is impressive in its own right. Before you leave, wander through the Andalusian Gardens and grab a mint tea at the café overlooking the river. Highly recommend!

6 Aug 2026The Kasbah of the Udayas is a historic 12th-century fortress in Rabat, Morocco, famous for its monumental Almohad gate, striking blue-and-white alleyways, and peaceful Andalusian Gardens. It is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site overlooking the Atlantic Ocean and the Bou Regreg River

6 Jul 2026The Kasbah Oudayah (also known as the Kasbah of the Udayas/Oudaias) is the most photogenic place in Rabat, a peaceful blend of Moroccan history, Andalusian heritage, and stunning coastal scenery. It is also one of the most beautiful and historic landmarks in Rabat. Perched on a hill overlooking the mouth of the Bou Regreg River and the Atlantic Ocean, it is a fortified citadel dating largely from the 12th century during the Almohad dynasty. Today it forms part of Rabat’s UNESCO World Heritage Site. Happy to have arrived here to witness this beautiful place.

6 Jun 2026Kasbah of the Udayas is an absolutely beautiful and peaceful place to visit in Rabat. The blue and white streets are very charming, and the views over the river and the Atlantic Ocean are stunning. It feels like walking through a quiet historical village full of character and history. The Andalusian gardens are well kept and perfect for a relaxing break away from the city noise. A great spot for photography, especially around sunset. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Rabat.

Il faut entrer dans les ruelles pour dénicher ces fameuse maison bleu. On a l'impression d'être à chefchaouen. Il y a des beignets à 3 dirhams jus d'orange pressé sur place à 15 ou 20 dirhams des boutiques souvenirs ....tout au bout il y a une magnifique vue sur la plage et la rivière. Belle balade on peut ensuite descendre rejoindre la plage par les escaliers.

Endroit magique où vous plongez le temps de la visite dans un lieu hors du temps où vous croiserez des chats de temps en temps … des cafés comme Le café des Oudayas où vous pourrez prendre le thé à la menthe avec des pâtisseries traditionnelles. Vous pourrez manger aussi au restaurant « Les artistes » plats traditionnels, thé et ambiance zen, certains tableaux sont d’ailleurs en vente …

مكان تاريخي و جزء من القديمة القديمة ، جميل جدا زيارته ولكن يفضل اخذ مرشد لكي يتحدث لك عنها ويكون دليلك داخل المدينة
