Rabat, the capital of the kingdom of Morocco, is located on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean on the left bank of the Bou Regreg Estuary. A city of trees and flowers, Rabat combines peace, beauty and Serenity, and is steeped in history. It is the residence of the King and the seat of government and embassies. Hassan II Avenue follows the Undulations' Wall, built in the seventeenth century, and separating the modern city from the medina.
Souika Street is the main artery in the medina. The many foundouks (traditional cafes) and shops always give this axis a very lively atmosphere. The babuche and Moroccans leather ware sellers occupy "Sebbat Souk" (the footwear market), which is easily distinguished by the mat roofing. Going along Consules Street, where foreign diplomats lived until 1912, you will find curiosities, souvenirs and traditional Moroccan items: worked copper, worked leather, silk embroidery, Sale mats and the famous Rabat carpets.
