I was in total ignorance about the government of Morocco until I read some notes last night about today's tour to the Moroccan capital,
Rabat. I wasn't sorry to leave Casablanca as it seemed to be a hectic, dusty city.
Our guide spoke of the Moroccan monarch,
Mohammed VI, in glowing terms today as we travelled the 90 km from Casablanca to visit
Rabat. Apparently The King is getting rid of shanty towns, introducing freeways and modern tram systems in cities as well as recognising the rights of women. According to our guide the monarch is a hard worker and an enlightened man. In Rabat we visited the Royal Palace as well as the tomb of the former king, Hassan 11.
