Last week we visited two undergraduates we know, in Morocco for a semester abroad. We rode the train, visited several museums we did not see when we were there in September, and then met the students at the Bab Mansour.
We have now been to each of the four imperial cities of Morocco, its historical capital cities of Fes, Marrakesh, Meknes and Rabat. Each has a very different vibe.
Bab Mansour, from the large square across the street, which is full of shops, cafes, and people.
View of the square. We had juice, and then dinner, on the terrace in the upper right of the image.
Tourists congregate at the gate.
View of the square from the cafe. Crowds gather around various forms of entertainment. We have not seen similar congregations in Rabats.
As darkness fell, the creatures of the night appeared to beg around out feet (to be fair, they also appear at lunch, and maybe even breakfast if we were to eat outside that early in the day).
