Sale City

Sale sits on the opposite side of river Bou Regreg which runs across Rabat. The city is not as glamorous as Rabat, but the relaxed vibes of the town is what attracts many. The sale city is not known for huge governmental building or renovated historical artefacts, but the authentic experience of the Moroccan culture offered by its localities, eateries, and markets. You can enjoy the taste of a cup of steaming locally made coffee in a café or observe the lifestyle of the local population who lives in the tapered streets of the town.

The town also has multiple small ancient religious sanctuaries with elegant zellige craftsmanship, a stunning 14th century madrasa and other not so popular sites, among which the medina of the poor is one that you cannot miss. The medina of Sale is not as sophisticated as the medina in Rabat, but its experience is truly authentic. Not only can you find great grabs at much cheaper prices than Rabat, but also get amazing local handicrafts. Tourists are not allowed inside the 12th century mosque here, but can admire the intricate architectural design from outside.
