Mohammed V Mausoleum, Rabat, World Heritage Site, Morocco.

Rabat is the capital of Morocco, the national political, cultural, and transportation center, known as one of the four imperial cities of Morocco, the other three being Fez, Marrakesh, and Meknes. The modern city of Rabat and the historic old city are listed as world cultural heritage. The tomb of Mohammed V is located in the center of Rabat. Mohammed V was the father of former king Hassan II and passed away in 1961. The construction of Mohammed V's tomb began in 1962 and was completed in 1971. The building complex is huge, decorated in Arab style, and filled with exquisite carvings. On both sides of the tomb chamber in the grand palace are the tombs of Hassan II and his brother Prince Abdullah. There are guards on duty. Near the tomb of Mohammed V, there is the ancient site of the Hassan Mosque, built in the 12th century, with over 300 large stone columns, the Hassan Tower, and ancient walls, which evoke the glory and splendor of the largest mosque in North Africa at the time. Rabat is the capital, with trams and taxis for convenience. A simple way is to show the driver photos of the attractions on your phone and agree on a price. Even if boiled, tap water in Morocco is not suitable for drinking, so bottled water is needed, with larger bottles being cheaper. Local infants also use bottled water. Visiting the Mausoleum of Mohammed V requires purchasing a ticket. Generally, one hour is enough for sightseeing and taking photos.
