There are no tickets here, it is indeed a business card for Rabat scenery, and the perspective of Hollywood blockbuster selection is still worthy of recognition. This is definitely the first choice in Rabat's play guide.
Since the movie "Mission Impossible 5" made it famous, the Udaya Castle has become a popular tourist destination. In the movie, Tom Cruise's car racing scene in the castle, where he drove directly from the steps of the castle into the sea, was filmed here.
Kasbah of the Udayas is an ancient castle complex on the Atlantic Ocean. It was built in the 12th century during the Berber Dynasty. It is small, elegant, and lush with flowers and trees, and has the typical style of Andalusian garden architecture. The castle retains Berber houses and streets with a unique style. This is a paradise for cats, and you can see cats taking a nap everywhere.
To the east of the old city of Rabat, Udaya Castle is an independent old castle. There are street shops and gardens in it. The whole is blue and white. It is similar to the blue and white towns of Santorini in Greece and Tunisia, but the blue here is more blue, gray and secluded. The steps on the edge of the castle are the scene of the famous spy 5 female agents flying down. There are stamps in the shops near the garden where postcards are sold (Morocco usually goes to the post office to buy them).
Because the houses of the residents inside are painted blue and white, also known as blue and white town. There are several blue and white towns in the world. I came to Udayaburg, which means a little Shevshavan. Blue and white, the purest color. You can't see clearly by the sunshine, so choose two.
Udaya Castle is an ancient castle complex located east of the old city of Rabat, near the Atlantic Ocean at the entrance of the Bregregreg River. Standing on the platform, you can have a panoramic view of the mouth of the Bregregreg River, the port of Rabatgu and the city of Salle. Udayaburg retains Berber houses and streets with unique style. A group of bungalows adjacent to the fort, formerly a Portuguese military prison, was converted into restaurants after the French occupation and has been open to the public ever since. Unexpectedly, Africa has such a beautiful seascape, from the first day we often ask each other. Is this Africa?
In the east of the old city of Rabat, just at the mouth of the Braggreg River, the castle was built along the Atlantic Ocean. The magnificent gates of the castle instantly conquered the eyes. This 12th century Berber castle, later used by the Arab dynasty, was occupied by Portuguese and French, but its interior was well preserved. The blue and white Mediterranean style made people once more bright after entering the city.
Kasbah des Oudayas, Udaya Fort, Shevshavan by the sea, half of the Blue City, the castle is located on a hill by the sea. This is not only an ancient fortification, but also a residential area. Up the stairs, the blue and white houses are scattered in disorder, less the noise of Shevshavan and more tranquility.
