Mausoleum of Mohammed V
Mausoleum of Mohammed V
Mausoleum of Mohammed V (Boulevard Mohamed Lyazidi, Rabat) – this is one of the country’s most important shrines. Here you’ll see members of the Royal Guard standing proudly at the final resting place of Morocco’s great king. Interestingly, the mausoleum was designed by a Vietnamese architect and inaugurated 6 years after the king’s death. The building’s austere exterior gives way to an interior of exquisite Moroccan craftsmanship. Stunning mosaics adorn the walls and gold leaf ceilings showcase intricate carvings. Enter the mausoleum from the white marble terrace where the tomb of Mohammed V rests between those of his two sons.
