Ceramics in the mosque are breathtaking. The grounds are open and airy. The men on horseback seem to be trying to imitate the guards at Buckingham Palace.

I always like visiting the Mausoleum for the architecture, the space, the views... A pilgrimmage spot more than a developed tourist attraction...

It is a great place, the weather was nice, easy transportation, people were very friendly. The food was great, especially "kouskos"

Very interesting site, the place take about 20 minutes to visit including the Hassan tower. We visited the place early (9AM) so there were not many tourists walking around.

Our third point of call during our whistle stop tour of Rabat. A complex of beautifully designed buildings displaying the best of Moroccan architecture.

The standard of geometric and calligraphic decoration is very high and the tomb building is sited in an area of significant historical/archaeological interest.
