MARZOUGA

Merzouga is famous for its sand dunes, the highest in Morocco. The village borders indeed the largest erg Chebbi Morocco. 

Merzouga has become a tourist attraction of primary importance for this region of Morocco, allowing the development of hotel industry, both locally and in nearby locations Errachidia and Erfoud. 
The facilities for tourists are the camel trekking, camping in the desert, quad biking, and summer, arénothérapie (or sand bath). 

The balance of the site of Merzouga is threatened by the uncontrolled construction of hotels, excessive tourism and the development of "motor sports" (quad) 1. 

We forget the environmental impact of this hotel tourism by overuse of water and non-compliance with wastewater regulations resources.


Malabata Cap Tanger

Cape Malabata is a small promontory on the Moroccan side of the Strait of Gibraltar. It closes the bay of Tangier and is 6 miles northeast of Tangier. 

Cape Malabata has a lighthouse and a built in the early twentieth century in a medieval style castle. Cape Malabata offers exceptional views of the city and the Bay of Tangier, the Straits of Gibraltar and the Spanish coast. The cap is connected by road to the ledge from Tangier.

Tangier has a rich history and unique geography. The beauty of its site and its light were actually a source of inspiration for generations of artists among the greatest. 

This site tells the story of the city, provides an overview of the global environment, identifies works and artists that are linked to, displaying photographs and a discussion forum.

Rabat Agdal

Rabat Agdal is the new center. This is where the youth of the affluent and Westernized class can be found later in the day. Cafes and trendy restaurants, pubs, lounges, and international retailers have taken up residence; including on Avenue Fal Ould Oumeir. A famous youth radio, Hit Radio, is installed next to the room Ibn Yassine.

mausolée mohammed v

Could there be a more prestigious place as the esplanade of the Hassan mosque to house the tomb of the most popular kings and sultans of Morocco, Mohammed V, the father of independence, died in Rabat following a procedure surgical February 26, 1961? 

  Ten years were needed to complete the monument designed by an architect of Vietnamese origin VO TOAN, but set in a more pure classicism. 

Slightly elevated, facing the ocean and the colonnades of the Hassan Tower, Mohammed V mausoleum is built of white Italian marble and topped with a pyramidal roof covered with green tiles, a symbol of royalty.

Chella Place



The site of Chellah was probably the oldest human settlement at the mouth of Bouregreg. The Phoenicians and Carthaginians, who founded several outlets in Morocco, probably inhabited the banks of the Bouregreg. 

Chellah retains, however, the remains of a Roman town. Excavations have revealed the presence of an agglomeration of some importance; that of the city cited under the names of Sala by Ptolemy and Sala Colonia in the Antonine Itinerary. The remains of Decumanus Maximus, or main track were released as well as a forum, a monumental fountain, a triumphal arch, a Christian basilica, etc. The main route of Sala was followed by surveys carried towards the ancient harbor on the Bouregreg harbor silted today. Thus, the Roman city exceeded the enclosure Merinid towards the river. 

Chellah was abandoned for centuries when Marinids chose its site to build their necropolis. As shown in Kufic inscription, which overcomes the front door, the work was completed in 1339 during the reign of Abu al-Hasan 'Ali. The occupation of the site has been gradual and successive developments have resulted in achieving a lavish burial. 

Protected by a substantial enclosure which is accessed through three doors (the main gate called Sidi Yahia Gate, the Gate of the Gardens and the Gate of Heaven Source) Merinid necropolis contains such an ablution room, with Zawiya oratory, a pared zellig minaret and several burial chambers, such that Abul Hassan whose stele, finely decorated, sits under a canopy mouqanas. Later, Abu Inan Faris' his son pretended to maintain the income of a Merinid Rabat bath, steam-Ej jdid. 

The gate of the cemetery is a majestic and warlike door. Powerful, it is flanked by two semi-octagonal bastions with corbels overcome sharp embankments. This fortress door opens onto a small oasis, a haven of ten acres where the tranquility is interrupted occasionally by slamming billed storks. Closed and enchanting landscape, garden with a magical atmosphere where the shrine of the founder is a valley where the winds source Ain Mdafa.

KASBA OF THE OUADAYA

Kasbah Oudayas is causing a small fortress built by the Almoravids in the fight against the Berghouata tribes. It becomes important with the Almohad that make it a Ribat overlooking the mouth of the river and called Bouregreg Mehdiya. 

The site was abandoned after the Almohads, it was the arrival of the Moors of Al-Andalus who revived the kasbah was restored and strengthened. Alawite dynasty began to turn the site development work between 1757 and 1789, then between 1790 and 1792. 

This whole site is visible through the monuments that make up the Kasbah Udayas such as Almohad and its famous monumental gate (Bab el-Kebir, a symbol of the Almohad architecture), Jamaa el Atiq Mosque the enclosure Alawite the princely house erected on the west and the military work of borj Sqala.

Abou Rakrak River

Represents an area downstream joint venture between neighboring Alhadhartin, Rabat and Salé. It features a field of biological riches and diversity of the natural manifestations; base as it can be based upon environmental and urban development, and is a natural continuation of the two cities, patrolled by some special activities. 
         However, he still complains currently choices negative approach chives since the beginning of the century, and by allowing the extension neighborhoods marginal on the slopes of the valley in the district of Yusufiyah, while it was to be preserved as protected sites of construction, as it represents the historical heritage (the site of Chellah Phoenician) and environmental. The valley currently receives many of the causes of pollution from sewage water, and urban Ozbal, crushers and building an initial thrown automatically from the neighborhoods. And Ozbal city gathered in Old Quarry equipped so Efficiency Mandate of the valley, and the quarries covered by wetlands Lower land, which was flooded tide time, and that desire to be reclaimed, with disregard what these wet lands biological diversity. 
         Has contributed to the construction of dam Sidi Mohammed Ben Abdullah, 20 km from the coast in a radical transformation of the estuary. So that even that date under the downstream area of ​​health, water purification river flood time, as well as sea water during maximum tide stages. The structure remained microscopic biological variety. However, the construction of the dam and the city is growing these data, and on the impact that Altjabh natural stop between river water and seawater. Became only the downstream arm nautical, never know flood river except in very special cases. And increased salinity, decreased water movement, which resulted in the impoverishment of biological diversity and number, and pollution hit the rest of the neighborhood, especially after the construction of an industrial neighborhood on the banks in Yusufiya. 
         Thus we find the estuary, which was the base for the growth of Alhadhartin, it becomes an area abandoned him, is the feeling that the territorial area of ​​wetlands is invalid and must be eliminated covered with soil and crushing of construction, in order to exploit them. Thus, we find that the unique area down day after day, without a clear stand out choices with regard to the processing and preparation, and despite the fact that this represents the center of the real estate speculators and Contractors fertile ground for profit and investment. 
         The project Bouregrag who hear talk about it since the sixties, not seen to exist until now, except for some commercial projects. Therefore, it became necessary to imagine what programming integrated project will be completed in the short term, but without losing sight of a holistic view of the project over the long term, taking into account the need to involve neighboring Alhadhartin in this perception as unnecessary and make this hub and a base for their union Azdharhma.

Coasts of Rabat

Progressing at a rapid pace of urbanization along the coastline and accommodate with the negative effects of pollution, can succeed without basic tests to prepare the soil of mitigation of these negatives (Bryan Aweyna 0.1993). 
         Originally we can say that the situation is not hospitable to the coast, and the reflux to the large number of cliffs and waves of violence, was the reason for not opening up the city, except at the mouth of Bouregrag. So we find the old city area is separated from the sea of graves littered slope overlooking the ocean. And southwest of the city of old, formed a modest residential neighborhoods in the neighborhood of the ocean inspired Akkari and Jacob Mansour. It also widened in the same field of military land. All this makes it difficult to restructure the coastal area for the establishment of tourist activities and entertainment. 
         So that the investment potential coastal in this area densely remain limited, due to the trends is successful for the preparation in the past, and remains in a lot of neighborhoods complain of poor housing him and density excessive, which results in a deformation in the scene, in addition to the accumulation of non-limiting Ozbal home and Breakers construction, that require high costs in order to be configured. 
         Coastal environment and know many of the manifestations of deterioration: 
         n Valelqa direct wastewater stream contributes to the pollution near the coast, but also the coast south of the capital, on the impact of the movement of sea water subsidiary coastal stream. Thus, the waters of the coast, from the mouth of the Bouregrag even Herhorh, complaining about the high rate of toxicity and biological contamination. And extends southward these effects in the times that activates the coastal current, which threatens civil beaches in summer, like Temara beach and golden sands and gold Steppe. However, the most serious pollution conditions annexed small rocky coves Yacoub Mansour neighborhood, which really represent a serious health hazard, because of the proximity of the exits streams of water, and because of the relative stability of the water in a small Hweidat, used by the children of these neighborhoods natural pools. 
         n and overcrowded housing and improper contributes to the distortion of the scene of many of the unique natural sites. This explains the choices Urban unfortunate that the French approach chives, parting from the coast and the area is considered a useful exploitation, which has resulted in the marginalization difficult now remedied. 
         The authorities are making urban councils and many efforts to fix this situation, and that the enactment of an urban planner and create designs on the one hand, and to propose a program for sanitation and disinfection fluid from the other hand. And prepared a plan for the future to remedy the situation inherited random. 
         However, some choices require correction in order to avoid negative effects.
         n The choice of the expansion of the coastal road, for example, between the ocean and the neighborhood Alqbebat and Jacob Mansour, deliberately to cover the outstanding Bjamalith cliff, because of what the mechanisms of erosion carved chemical forms of exquisite, under Vtatat dirt origin Breakers drilling operations and construction. This Alrkamat, add to the ugliness of their appearance, turn to dust clouds during the summer time the wind, as long as sufficient plant coverage is not guaranteed. The coastal area not only allows consistently solid rocky outcrops, due to the salinity of sea spray, and the difficulty of the growth of vegetation over Alrkamat modern. Finally, during storms and rare marine with enormous energy, you can surf the invasion of this Alrkamat and transported to the sea, resulting in the destruction of hard work and costly. 
         n knows the coast between Rabat and downstream Beach Skhirat, merit in the sandy areas, and an extension in the rocky areas. So that the shores of the estuary and Temara and golden sands and director Wade ECHEM Sukhaybarat represent sandy beaches, unique in the region. So it is our duty to preserve it from sea erosion, and so avoiding all the facilities that change the dynamic coastal and ocean currents, and the failure of new conditions strengthens the kinetics of transport sand beach to the field under the sea. Thus, what resulted in the establishment of the port of Sidi Abed, next to the golden sand beach, represents a choice negatively, because it focused the effects Alabab on the sands of this beach, which resulted in the start of operations of uprooting, followed by the emergence of bedrock in places seemed to be floating where the pioneers of this beach to time nearby. 
         And knows the coast in general and aspects of the bays and coastal bays enclosed by a rocky bar protect it from the refraction of waves Movement construction of buildings, the high specificity of the type characterized by the expansion of the area of ​​each of them, which means its transformation into permanent housing and Head, and not a secondary tourist housing. This results in what might be called the privatization of the coastline to an excessive degree, while expected to enjoy this area continuity and put the public property of all, because it represents a wealth of unique and rare, it is necessary to benefit all city residents, but also residents of other areas of Morocco. 
         It follows, then, that the coast is not the center of attention is not an essential element in the planning and programming choices for the urban city, and since the beginning of planning, any Frenchman since Reconstruction. So we find the rare coastal area is wasted because of the housing bitumen, and the coastal environment is deteriorating as a result of pollution. 

         So the configuration of rationality require quick solutions and built based on the accurate determination of the public domain, which is impossible Jussth, and natural ports that must be preserved;, as well as a good measure of the network cleansing liquid and sewage treatment prior to discharge into the sea. It also requires the integration of the element within the coastal urbanization projects, to avoid permanent housing sites in the tourism and construction heavy and indiscriminate in the areas must maintain its character as a sport and recreation sites for the benefit of everyone.


Streets Of Rabat

There are several urban development processes has programmed long ago, but have not been implemented; It is necessary to sent and processed in a new way in order to achieve them. Including the renovation project of the old city and the preparation of Cornish coastline, and the banks of the Valley Bouregrag, and the creation of Victory Street inspired to altitude and Avenue Hassan II and neighborhoods Gardens Oudaia, and rehabilitation of neighborhood Ouadhias to become as a living museum and restructuring area Central Market (Design directorial reconstruction). 
         It is necessary to revive the projects as well as the processing of a number of basic facilities that suffer from the absence of the capital such as the processing of the closet and national and national institute for music, art and museums multiple industry as a museum of traditional and modern arts, science and technology. 
         The remaining ancient city center of attraction and radiation, through its equipment and its own diverse commercial and multi-functions. However, she lives put overpopulation and social impoverishment and deterioration of the buildings along the lines of what you know many of the antique cities of Morocco (Belfkih and Fadlallah, 1986). This deteriorating situation must be bold intervention in order to reduce the density of housing in order to rehabilitate the buildings in the context of engineering design determines the sites occupied by the main tract (such as street peduncle and consuls, and Mr. Light and Bokaron) as receiver sites for jobs requiring special adaptive equipment. This tract and lead to the gates of the city after being treated with a distinct regulation of traffic and parking. So that the medina contains historical and architectural heritage should be restored and protected with to create the activities that will allow their incomes invested and developed. 
         The housing is regular (eg, the role of tin and marginal neighborhoods), it represents a precedence require fast processing in order to solve this dilemma, cultural and social. So that the situation is bad for this affordable housing is required to conduct operations aimed at specifically the real estate and engineering, and operations is to transform the population and the preparation of neighborhoods and buildings; which requires the provision of base property is not currently exist, which requires action on mitigation of real estate speculation and prevent the detention of land and create conditions to facilitate residential construction operations. This also means a renewal in geometric patterns and diversify its forms; also requires work on the convergence of the excessive increase in housing density, and by preventing additions is programmed for the floors of new buildings and avoid the shift is planned for housing individual "villas or the role of the floor" to the collective housing of the type of buildings. 
         Featuring the city of Rabat by high activity, although they suffer from some kind of delay in the growth and function of economic and tourism. Besides these two functions, play a traditional industry sector and the administrative, political and diplomatic role, which builds upon the basic rules of continued economic growth. And calls to reach this goal need to do friendly and provides a variety of settings at the same time protecting the environment and the well-off standard of living, access to any social development brings with it a sense of responsibility and awareness of the need to maintain the framework of a balanced ecosystem. 
         The city of equipment and means of modern transport and disposal of an integrated health fluids and garbage, and green spaces, it requires a holistic restructuring of raising them to the level of capital of the kingdom. 
         Among the areas that need to be addressed proposals to revive the courage that led to the re-structuring of design center, and by reducing the density of traffic and the creation of private alleys Balragelin and reshape the junctions and the use of new tools such as railway or subway with the solutions needed for parking. 
         And require the development of the capital skip the current situation and destitution in the field of waste collection and treatment, and sanitation, resulting in the deterioration of multiple locations along the valley Bouregrag and coastline. This requires finding solutions to achieve meaningful pass through the recommendations and programs Master Plan for drainage and water treatment, and by establishing a plant to purify fluids in the relatively remote location from buildings in spite of obstacles and difficulties have so far prevented it. 
         It also must review the current situation, which is characterized by parts of buildings finite administrative and academic units, and the reunion of these institutions and organized within neighborhoods customized, including the district administrative inherited from the European phase of reconstruction, as well as neighborhoods equipped with means of transport such as the neighborhood of Riyadh. The proliferation of administrative departments in the Agdal neighborhood of downtown condominium buildings earmarked for housing, it poses many problems in front of transport, because of the narrow alleys, and not preparing enough parking. And require the Mohamed V University, currently fragmented to colleges and centralized facilities attached Souissi district, reorganization within a unified campus, and on the basis of significant investments to raise the Moroccan university level in line with the modern proposals made by the Commission on Education Reform. 
         Complain processing cultural and sports for the city of Rabat merit deep, while became known that you can not imagine to reach equilibrium real social, and psychological stability of the population, without serious work aims to rehabilitate young people through the promotion of sports and cultural activities and entertainment. 

         The city requires the preparation of a range of interventions aimed sent to the aesthetic and functional neighborhoods of the central city of Vintage and modern center and neighborhoods such as neighborhood ocean and Hassan and Agdal. And must take into account the specificity of each of these interventions of these neighborhoods in terms of the heritage represented, and the functionality that is famous for, and the quality of the buildings and equipment where there are. This setup includes a special effort to expand green spaces and improve the quality of the facades of buildings, shops and buildings to maintain geometrical precious. This requires courage to take measures necessary to circulate respected. 
         And includes the city of Rabat scenes and natural sites of high-level, should be preserved and invested. On the coast, there are plenty of prime locations for its beautiful unique, and should be, based on accurate studies, work on some investment, and keep each other in the form of Roashim of natural origin. And next to the city there are important forests and extended, including Temara Forest, and Forest, Mr. Yahya Zair, and Sir Battas Forest, and Forest Krevlh. It specializes in plant diversity and excellence scenes, and suitable for recreation, and some of the sniper. And in any case represent a wonderful outlet for the city. And urban planning demands as this wealth of plant and maintain them. 
         In Rabat plateau, as well as along the valley Bouregrag, were drilled in the quarries of rare natural sites, which caused the loss of the quality of those sites and the resulting contamination of many manifestations of it. It is worth mentioning that some of these quarries did not get the necessary license, after doing the necessary studies to prove the extent of the losses resulting from environmental exploitation. 
         Therefore, it became necessary to present tribal studies, open to any former quarries, as well as the dissemination of a ruler to re-create the time of the completion of the sites exploited and beyond. 
         It is clear from the analysis of the environmental conditions of the city that there are two areas the coast and the valley Bouregrag who are distinguished by placing them unique: they Adman precious natural qualifications. However, they are being subjected to pressure threatens the prospects of exploitation, which became calls to accelerate the development of precise rules for special treatment.

Rabat The Great Moroccan Capital

Representing the city of Rabat, a living example of the capitals that abound unique historical heritage, and natural scenes Nafisa, and real economic activity and diverse. And are in addition to the relatively balanced urban-friendly. So it was natural that officials are working on the planning, development and determine the prospects for the development of urbanization and the environment by, in proportion to the weight of the political and economic role. 
         In this direction comes this contribution, a desire to assess the situation of urban and environmental point of the city, and in the perception of the preparation of a comprehensive perspective, beyond the negatives and the current obstacles, and propose to the capital of the Kingdom of Morocco by means of a balanced and sustainable development. 
         Urban setting multiple choices, which is reflected in the frequency of plans and projects and proposals. However, these processes are often faced with the pressure out of legal and real estate and political and economic obstacles prevented achieved, as long as they have not been administering expressed at a high level and did not pass through arbitration allows a choice between several contradictions and different interests. And the expressed will, currently aimed at developing the capital of the Kingdom in order to submit them to the level of the capitals of the world represents a truly integrated base for the start of operations sector. Also, this will allow to overcome the obstacles and contradictions through impartial arbitration avoids the experiment entrusted to the now, and planning processes in a holistic manner with all the essentials create the necessary in order to achieve the program on the basis of accurate in time and space.

History of Marrakech








Determine the historical sources to build the first nucleus of Marrakech in 1070 by marabouts, who are set Amazigh tribes of nomads came from the desert. This has evolved into the city under the rule of Sultan Ibn Yasin (1061 - 1107) to a large extent from the results of the expansion Almurbati in African and Andalusia to become a political and cultural center of the Islamic west. 
After the restoration of the united it after entering the city in 1147, they have taken the capital of their rule. And performed by several historical landmarks still constitute the pride of their time Ksoumah Koutoubia Bmsadjadaha,
