The Kasbah of the Udayas in Rabat, Morocco, is a historic fortress that dates back to the 12th century. Overlooking the Atlantic Ocean and the mouth of the Bou Regreg River, this ancient citadel offers a glimpse into the rich history and architectural splendor of the Almohad and Andalusian periods. Its narrow, winding streets are lined with white and blue painted houses, creating a picturesque setting. Key attractions within the kasbah include the Andalusian Gardens, a peaceful green space with exotic plants, and the Kasbah Mosque, one of the oldest mosques in Rabat.
