Pomenade at Mellah of Rabat: The visit of every Medina in Morocco would not be complete without a tour in the Mellah. 1807 the Sultan Moulay Slimane consolidated the Jews in a separated district and built the Mellah in the far east of Rabat. He endowed the District of all modern infrastructures: shops, ovens, Hammam, synagogues and even sewers. Today, there is practically no Jews in this courter. At the entrance of the “Mallah” is located the Synagogue Rabbi Chaloum Zaoui. Outside, there is Talmud Torah Synagogue which was before the Institute of high rabbinical studies.
Explore Jewish Heritage in Sala: Sala is located on the right bank of Bouregreg river. The Mellah of Sala was built at the same time as the one of Rabat. The General Plan is exactly the same. The Jews abandoned this district in the mid-twentieth century. In the heart of the old city there is still the jewish cemetery, the tomb of Rabbi Raphael Encoua and the Snagogue
