Kasbah des Oudaïas
An airy 'village within the city', the Kasbah is a pleasant
place to take a stroll to admire some interesting architecture and
see some sights. The Kasbah was the Alhomad citadel of medieval
Rabat, and is guarded by an impressive arched gate built around
1195. Inside the Kasbah is the palace and Andalucian gardens, as
well as a broad terrace, which gives beautiful views of the river
and sea close to the city's oldest mosque, the Kasbah Mosque,
founded in 1050. Below the terrace are several fortifications with
gun emplacements guarding the estuary, and even further below is a
beach, usually crowded with local people.
Information & Facts

Language
Arabic is the official language, but eight other
languages are also spoken including Berber, French and Spanish.
English is generally understood in the tourist areas, but French is
the most widely spoken.
Money
The unit of currency is the Moroccan Dirham (MAD), which is
divided into 100 centimes. ATMs are available in the larger towns,
but can be unreliable; currency can be exchanged at banks or
official bureaux de changes, which are also widespread in major
towns. Dirhams cannot be obtained or exchanged outside Morocco and
receipts must be retained as proof of legal currency exchange, as
well as in order to re-exchange money when departing. Major credit
cards are accepted in the larger shops, hotels and restaurants.
Travellers cheques can be used in tourist areas, but are not
prevalent; they are best taken in Euros or Pounds Stirling.
