Great Gate of the Kasbah (Bab Oudaya), Rabat, Morocco 🇲🇦 2022

And a selfie.

"The monumental gate of the kasbah, located uphill and overlooking Rabat below, is considered one of the most beautiful gates of Almohad and Moroccan architecture. It goes by the name Bab Oudaia ("Udaya Gate") or Bab al-Kbir ("Great Gate"). It was built by the Almohad caliph Ya'qub al-Mansur between 1195 and 1199, inserted into the previous walls of the kasbah built by Abd al-Mu'min around 1150." --- Wikipedia

A long day of filming (and waiting), beginning just before midday yesterday at Café à l'Anglaise, on Tangier's Rue de la Kasbah, with a preliminary interview by Vittorio Bongiorno, while my son, Finn, assisted with 2nd unit videography.

"So we have narrowed down, a little, what you are: poet (sort of), wanderer, and... [pause] ghost."

In a country where water is scarce and precious, building a public fountain is an act of great generosity. In many places, where two narrow alleys meet, there are public fountains, adorned with tiles in arabesque and columns with elaborate carvings, offering the most precious gift: water.
