Staying here in the enchanting city of Rabat reminded me of seating in my high school history class. I even remember how fascinated I was to learn that people from diverse origins all moved to Morocco and made a big impact on the rich culture of this African country. Back then, I only allowed myself to indulge in reveries just to grasp the whole concept of Moroccan history. But now, I can’t believe that abstract things, which used to be another vague impression, are now laid before my very eyes. Through concrete walls and sturdy towers, I am able to appreciate more the meaningful past that all Morrocan people can be proud of.

All I can say is–if you love Moroccan history, then you will certainly cherish every minute of your stay here in Rabat. The bulwark of Chellah is one of the most fascinating places I have seen in this city. The moment I saw the age-old ruins, I was mesmerized by the reality that fragments of the past could possibly turn into a beautiful and inspiring piece. I also found out that this Roman port from 200 B.C. also used to be a royal cemetery and is now one of the captivating tourist attractions here in Rabat.

Needless to say, the citadel of Chellah is a perfect destination for every tourist. Aside from being a remarkable part of Moroccan history, it also serves as an enchanting spot where tourists would definitely love to pose for some good photographs. The ruins of Chellah is now more accessible to tourists. So if you are staying somewhere in Ville Nouvelle where large hotels in Morocco are located, going to this site for a taste of Moroccan history won’t be a problem at all.
