Rue Des Consuls

Consuls Street is a place full of history. It is a long pedestrian street leading from the fortified castle of Oudayas to the center of the medina. There are fountains and decorations all along the street, but you do not usually find much in the medina as the houses only open inward, around a central courtyard. The street was the place of residence of international diplomats, which is why the houses are different to typical Moroccan houses. Most of these houses have been converted into shops and now the street is part of the covered souk in Rabat.

Touristique

Indubitablement le touriste, à Rabat, est attiré par la Rue des consuls s'il veut mettre les pieds dans la médina : en effet, cette rue mène directement à la célèbre Kasbah des Oudayas. Du coup, ce sont les boutiques pour touristes qui ont pignon sur cette rue piétonne, tapis, céramiques et autres produits artisanaux prisés en Occident. L'authenticité de la médina est ailleurs, dans les rues adjacentes. Néanmoins la promenade est fort agréable Rue des consuls ; on croise notamment une fontaine ornée de zelliges et puis l'ambiance devient plus authentique, plus autochtone, au fur et à mesure qu'on s'éloigne de la Kasbah des Oudayas, au niveau de l'ancien mellah.
Undoubtedly the tourist, Rabat, is attracted by the consuls Street if he wants to set foot in the medina: in fact, this street directly mne the famous Kasbah Oudayas. So, what are the tourist shops that have set up this street pedestrianized, carpets, ceramics and other handicrafts priss West. The authenticity of the medina is also in the adjacent streets. Nevertheless the walk is very pleasant Rue des Consuls; including one crosses a fountain decorated with tiles and then the atmosphere becomes more authentic, more native, as and that moves away from the Kasbah Oudayas, at the former Jewish.
