Impressive city walls and gates | URSZULA (matcrazy0) BY SALE CITY GATE |
Sale is a twin city to Rabat, the capital of Morocco. The two cities are seperated by the Atlantic mouth of quite large river (Ouled Bou Regreg). I spent a few hours walking around the medina of Sale just before arriving to Rabat. I was welcomed by huge and well maintained city walls and gates. Well, it was nothing unique in Morocco.

| SALE, ENTRANCE TO THE MEDINA |
No visitors :-) Although this old town (Sala Colonia) doesn't offer any unique or impressive architecture it's my recommendation to visit it. The first reason is that there are very few visitors to Sale. At least I didn't meet any. |
Time stopped in Sale :-) I've found the medina of Sale completely different than busy, crowded, noicy, fast growing and changing Rabat, just across a river. Instead I've found the white lazy city with some muslim conservative touch: local guys dressed in traditional jellabia, no women except mothers walking with a group of small kids to/from a school, almost no cars - just lazy, hot peace and quite. |

| Pros: | "Peace and quiet, local conservative lifestyle, medersa and Muslim cemetery" | | Cons: | "Few interesting architecture, Grand Mosque closed for non-muslims, hot for me :-)" | | In A Nutshell: | "Go back in time in Sale :-)" |

Amazing: I especially took interest in your local customs tips; they're what truly defines a journey. I thank you very much for bringing Sale -- as well as your generous opinions and insight -- to the forefront of intrigue. | tiabunna Wed Apr 18, 2007 12:34 UTC
Sale looks a very interesting place, Matt - and all the better, I suspect, for being slightly 'off the beaten tourist path'. | barryg23 Fri Mar 9, 2007 20:59 UTC
I wish we had gone to Sale. It sounds really great, I think we spent too long exploring Rabat. | traveldave Mon Mar 5, 2007 17:45 UTC
When I visited Morocco, I went o Rabat, but not Sale. I remember seeing the city across the river from Rabat. |
