"Beautiful" Moroccan capital praised
The capital city of Morocco was singled out for praise at the WaterfrontExpo conference in Liverpool last week.
Peter Sheard, senior associate at architecture and design consultancy Gensler, described Rabat as a "very beautiful" city and spoke admiringly of its waterfront area.
He suggested that the city has plenty to offer visitors and property investors, with a strong sense of history and commerce combined with many opportunities for relaxing activities such as walking and fishing.
"The city has quite a strong network of parks and open spaces and the landscape has a certain beauty about it," Mr Sheard said of Rabat.
According to figures from Morocco's Ministry of Tourism, the north African country received 7.41 million visitors in 2007 – an increase of 13 per cent on the previous year.
WaterfrontExpo, an international conference on the regeneration and development of waterfront areas, took place in Liverpool from November 3rd to 5th.
