Sale, the City of Pirates - Express Walking Tour in Morocco

If you are staying for at least a day in Rabat, you should spare 2 hours to visit its twin city, Sale. These two cities are only divided by a river, the Oued Bou Regreg. Sale is one of the oldest city in the entire country of Morocco, having being established as far back as in the 7th century. The city is famous for the corsairs and the white slaves trade during the 17 century. Sale has a very special place in my heart because my family and I used to come here every year for the procession of Candles, which is a yearly festival to commemorate the birth of the prophet, a unique celebration that only happens in Sale city. Being both a local and an experienced, Licensed tour guide, I will be able to give you true insights into the striking city of Sale and its fascinating history.
