Love to draw, read and go on senselessly long walks where I admire my city. It would be my pleasure to share a walk with people who would be interested in learning more about it!

Tour description
This tour isn't just a walk, it’s a chronological immersion of Rabat's history as told through its most steadfast and honest mediums - its architecture.
Starting off in Agdal which has now become the center of Rabat's "New Medina" with its modern and sleek 2000's neo futuristic style stadiums and shopping centers showcasing Morocco's blusterous expansion and growth surrounded by post-colonial Modernist and Brutalist buildings of the 70s and 80s, to the Art Deco and Neo-Moorish style French colonial buildings of the "Medina" from the 1920s etched with untold memories and foreign ideals and lastly ending near the "Old Medina" the 12th century heart/core of rabat- a story spanning almost a millennium, a Matryoshka of Medinas'.
Things of note:
*This is a 3km walk, there will be plenty of breaks, but please take this into consideration when booking.
*This tour is completely pet friendly as we will not be entering any buildings and or areas that disallow pets, however if you do bring a pet please make sure your pet is well trained and leashed/secure.
*This tour is only in English
* No additional expenses are covered by the tour ie; food, water, museum fees etc.
*I am not an architect nor have I studied architecture in any formal capacity, but just as what we eat changes us, I believe where we tread does too and as such have a deep interest in the history of the buildings that surround me that I would love to share with people.
