Located in the busy Place el-hedim at the heart of the city (the medina), the covered market offers mouth-watering candy and other sweets beautifully arrayed in precise towers. In much of the world, small shops that specialize in specific products cluster in the same part of the market. In other corners of the souk fresh produce and meat, as well as spices and dairy, are sold year-round. The markets are especially busy during the month of Ramadan when families break their daily fast in the evening with a specially cooked feast.

"Hassan Tower or Tour Hassan (Arabic: صومعة حسان‎‎) is the minaret of an incomplete mosque in Rabat, Morocco. Begun in 1195, the tower was intended to be the largest minaret in the world along with the mosque, also intended to be the world's largest. In 1199, Sultan Yacub al-Mansour died and construction on the mosque stopped. The tower reached 44 m (140 ft), about half of its intended 86 m (260 ft) height. The rest of the mosque was also left incomplete, with only the beginnings of several walls and 200 columns being constructed. The tower, made of red sandstone, along with the remains of the mosque and the modern Mausoleum of Mohammed V, forms an important historical and tourist complex in Rabat." (from Wikipedia)

"The Kasbah of the Udayas is a kasbah in Rabat, Morocco. It is located at the mouth of the Bou Regreg river opposite Salé. The edifice was built in the 12th century during the reign of the Almohad Caliphate (AD 1121-1269). When the Almohads had captured Rabat and destroyed the kasbah of the Almoravid dynasty in the town, they began reconstructing it in AH 544 / AD 1150. They added a palace and a mosque and named it al-Mahdiyya, after their ancestor al-Mahdi Ibn Tumart. After the death of Yaqub al-Mansur (AH 595 / AD 1199) the kasbah was deserted." (from Wikipedia)
