It is considered that the origin meaning of Ouroboros symbol lies in the rotation of the planet Earth around its own axis and as a result, the rotation of the Sun and stars in sky. You may have encountered many times thу symbol depicting a serpent eating its own tail.The ouroboros often symbolizes self-reflexivity or cyclicality, especially in the sense of something constantly re-creating itself, the eternal return. It can also represent the idea of primordial unity related to something existing in or persisting from the beginning with such force or qualities it cannot be extinguished. Also its counterpart is the swastika - both of these ancient symbols represent the movement of the cosmos.

From my collection
Country of Origin;- North west America. Habitat:- Hot dry open areas including mountains. Diet:- Large rodents such as rabbits, as well as snakes and lizards.
Nest:- Occasionally on the ground, but will also build and use existing large nests up to 1 metre deep. The underside is almost pure white which helps it when hunting. Above 2 or 3 hundred feet it is invisible to prey on the ground.
Remarks:- This relatively large species tends to spend a great deal of time on the ground, which calls for immense strength when taking off after prey. Over recent years Ferruginous hawks have dramatically declined as a result of pesticides and persecution.
Da Wikipedia:
L'origine di Verucchio risale a tempi molto antichi. Nelle campagne di scavi effettuate fra il 1893 e il 1894, poi negli anni '70 del Novecento, e infine riprese nel 2005, hanno restituito oltre 600 sepolture databili tra il X e il VII secolo a.C. I ricchi corredi funerari, (costituiti da monili, fibule, vestiario, vasellame, armi, finimenti per cavalli) e le complesse attività rituali consentono di riconoscere nelle tombe una manifestazione della Civiltà Villanoviana, (da alcuni studiosi attribuita agli Etruschi, da altri considerata una realtà talvoltà distinta e legata a situazioni locali diverse e specifiche). Tramite i corredi funebri è stato possibile riconoscere alcuni tratti che caratterizzavano la vita dei gruppi aristocratici. Verucchio rappresentava durante l'età del ferro e fino all'orientalizzante un punto centrale nel controllo delle rotte adriatiche che collegavano la Grecia, l'Oriente e l'Europa Centrale). Inoltre il letto ampio del Marecchia offriva un attracco sicuro e adatto alle navi che risalivano il fiume, tanto che questo tratto venne chiamato il "piccolo mare".
Verucchio conobbe il tramonto della società Etrusca e fu presto influenzato da quella romana godendo della vicinanza con Rimini (Arimmna per gli Etruschi) che proprio sotto i romani (che la ribattezzarono Ariminum) godette di un notevole sviluppo.
Il nome del sito deriva dal latino "vero occhio" che ne indica, non a caso, la capacità di godere di una vista privilegiata sulla campagna circostante, su Rimini, data la posizione rialzata (330 s.l.m.).
Nel periodo delle Invasioni barbariche, quando tutta la Pianura Padana venne occupata dai Longobardi, Verucchio rimase a lungo sotto il controllo dell'Impero Romano, assieme alle altre città che costituirono il primo nucleo della Romania (o terra di Roma) divenuta poi Romagna.
Col tramonto dell'Impero Romano vi fu l'inizio di un periodo di decadenza che durò fino al 1200 circa. Il buio venne rischiarato dall'avvento della Signoria dei Malatesta, che seppe dare nuovo impulso, vigore e ricchezza alle terre di Romagna e quindi anche a Verucchio.

Some snowflakes have strange origin stories, and this is one of them. Using a few simple physics rules, let’s try to unravel the mystery here!
The original center of this snowflake is the blobby flower-like shape in the middle. The crystal started as a solid hexagonal prism, but at a certain point, cavities started forming in the prism facets (the rectangular sides) by the same physics rule that causes branches to form: whatever sticks out the farthest, grows the fastest. Conversely, whatever is furthest away from the water vapour will grow the slowest. The center of the prism facets can grow more slowly than the rest of snowflake, causing cavities to form in the right conditions.
Anywhere you see a brighter area in the center of this snowflake, you have multiple layers of ice. It appears brighter because you have more reflective surfaces sending light back to the camera. This clue is important to figure out what is happening: a molecular dance between one and two layers of ice. This is where things get interesting.
See the top-left part of the blob flower? It grows to a full cavity that encompasses three sides of the crystal. The other sides, however, seal back off and become solid again. This means one side of the snowflake was growing with a stable position in the wind and not tumbling about as much, so more water vapour was available to one side than the other, changing the way it grew. Which side was facing the wind? The answer is the same to the question “which sides grew the longest and therefore the fastest?”. Higher humidity closed the cavities faster.
The way the branches formed here is also very cool, utilizing the “knife-edge instability”. Imagine that a cavity cuts the outgrowing sides of a snowflake into two parallel plates. What would cause one to grow faster than the other? Wind and direction could play a role, but thickness is also a critical component. Imagine two bricklayers building walls. One is required to build their wall three bricks thick, while the other is required to build their wall only one brick thick. Working at the same rate, who completes the wall the fastest? The thinner the layer, the faster it can grow outward given the same amount of “bricks” (water molecules). This is why all six branches are brighter around their starting point – they began from cavities that split the crystal into two parts.
No two snowflakes are ever the same. Even the same snowflake is in a constant state of flux – either growing or sublimating. Their uniqueness is bound by a few simple rules and endless variations; they are as beautiful to look at as they are to “figure out”. If you’d like to photograph snowflakes on your own and dive into the puzzles of how they grow, there is a comprehensive tutorial in my new book: skycrystals.ca/product/pre-order-macro-photography-the-un... - as well as other topics including composition, water droplet refractions, ultraviolet, focus stacking, editing, stereoscopic 3D and the list goes on.
SN: Cycas Revoluta, Cycadaceae Family
This Palm has its origin in the Ryukyu Islands in Southern Japan. Although called Palm it doesn't belong to the Palmaceae family. Nowadays is disseminated all over. Produces a center of future leaves looking like a cabbage. It is quite attractive.
The Sago Palm is one of the most widely grown houseplants in the world because of its attractive, easy-care habit. It's a cycad, not an actual palm. The thick, shiny-green fronds have a slightly cascading appearance and they arise from a stout, brown, textured truck. When it’s container-grown, it performs well in any bright, sun-filled indoor space. This slow-growing evergreen plant is moderately cold hardy (to zone 8) and it’s native to southern Japan. Easy to care for, it prefers a well-drained potting mix or sandy soil when planted outside in southern zones. Sago Palm makes it easy to add a touch of greenery to your indoor living space.

Nightcliff is a northern suburb of the city of Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia, and is set on the shores of Darwin Harbour (named after Charles Darwin).
Although the origin of the name Nightcliff has always been surrounded by conjecture and controversy, the naming can be tracked back to 8 September 1839 (the time of discovery of Port Darwin/Darwin Harbour by European explorers). Early that day, HMS Beagle, which was engaged on an excursion of the Australian coast, sailed into the area and anchored in Shoal Bay near Hope Inlet. John Lort Stokes, William Forsyth and several other crew members left Beagle on a longboat for an excursion and passed around Lee Point, in the vicinity of which, there appeared to be a major opening. Stokes was later to record.
"The sea breeze setting in early, we did not reach it till after dark, when we landed for observations at a cliffy projection near the eastern entrance point: this we found to be composed of a kind of clay, mixed with calcareous matter. We had some difficulty in landing, and then in scrambling up the cliffs by the light of a lantern. If any of the watchful natives happened at the time to be on the look out, they must have stood in astonishment at beholding such strange persons, who at such a time of night, with no ostensible object were visiting their shores".
The term 'Night Cliff' was thus applied to the locality, and it subsequently appeared in this form on Surveyor-General George W. Goyder's original plan of 1869. Goyder also mentioned the locality a couple of times in the diary he kept as leader of the Northern Territory Survey Expedition.
The Nightcliff foreshore was the site of Royal Australian Air Force camps with spotlights and large guns used to defend Darwin from Japanese aircraft bombing during the Second World War. During 1941, a naval outpost including a large concrete artillery outpost bunker was established on the headland. Various other defence facilities were constructed inland as large numbers of military personnel moved into the area. The 2/14 Field Regiment A.I.F. (Australian Infantry Force) was given the task of planning and constructing a hutted camp which became known as "Night Cliff's Camp". After the war, increasing pressure for suburban development caused the Nomenclature Committee of the N.T. to officially name the area on 29 October 1948. The conjoint version of the name, "Nightcliff" was adopted.
Today, a long footpath along the foreshore of Nightcliff is used for walking and cycling, particularly in the evenings after work. Along the footpath there is Nightcliff Jetty, Nightcliff Beach and Nightcliff Swimming Pool.

Muy buenas, hoy vuelvo para mi tierra, pegadito a la costa, y os dejo esta toma que realicé en el Parque Natural de Calblanque. En esta ocasión la idea la tenía clara, unir el efecto que produce la lana de acero con el entorno y aprovechar la vía láctea para realizar un encuadre completo.
Como siempre, en una sola toma, sin utilizar Photoshop, y realizando un procesado ligero en Lightroom. En esta ocasión, pude realizar la toma gracias a tener un objetivo completamente manual. Para los que estéis familiarizados con la fotografía nocturna, sabréis que la configuración de la cámara para sacar la vía láctea, es totalmente distinta a la configuración para lograr una correcta exposición de la lana de acero. Para lograrlo, tuve que jugar con la apertura, y solo pude hacerlo gracias a que el objetivo que utilicé es totalmente manual, y me permite cambiar la apertura una vez iniciada la toma.
Estos son los datos de la toma:

Good Friday is an anniversary which in Sicily acquires a cathartic meaning for those who are searching, not only photographically, for popular traditions (we find them widespread throughout Sicily), which are nothing other than a social, cultural event, which merge into a single past and present; from the web "popular traditions are a historical memory linked to customs and rituals that have given shape to the values and beliefs of that culture". Easter in Sicily can be a source of research, it can appear not without contradictions, citing the thoughts of that great Sicilian thinker Leonardo Sciascia, for him Sicily cannot be called Christian referring to the Sicilian festivals, at most it is only in appearance, in those properly pagan explosions tolerated by the Church; Sciascia addresses the topic as an introductory essay in the book "Religious celebrations in Sicily", illustrated with photographs of a young and still unknown Ferdinando Scianna, a book that did not fail to raise some controversy due to the Sicilian thinker's introductory note, thus being in open controversy with the sacredness of that popular Sicilian devotion (the book was criticized by the Holy See newspaper, the Osservatore Romano), Sciascia writes: “what is a religious festival in Sicily? It would be easy to answer that it is anything but a religious holiday. It is, first of all, an existential explosion; the explosion of the collective id, where the collectivity exists only at the level of the id. Since it is only during the celebration that the Sicilian emerges from his condition of a single man, which is the condition of his vigilant and painful superego, to find himself part of a class, of a class, of a city". Another Sicilian thinker, writer and poet, Gesualdo Bufalino, provides interesting indications on the meaning that Sicilians give to these traditional popular events, he says "during Easter every Sicilian feels not only a spectator, but an actor, first sorrowful and then exultant , for a Mystery that is its very existence. The time of the event is that of Spring, the season of metamorphosis, just as the very nature of the rite is metamorphic in which, as in a story from the Puppet Opera, the battle of Good against Evil is fought. Deception, Pain and Triumph, Passion, Death and Resurrection of Christ are present."
In short, Easter in Sicily is a deeply felt anniversary throughout the island since ancient times, it has always had as its fulcrum the emotional participation of the people, with representations and processions which have become rites and traditions which unequivocally characterize numerous Sicilian centres, which they recall the most salient moments narrated in the Gospels and which recall the Passion, Death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ, with processions formed by the various brotherhoods (sometimes with theatrical re-enactments) which have within them contents and symbols often coming from the Spanish domination, which took place in Sicily between the 16th and 17th centuries. This year, on the occasion of Good Friday I went to the pretty town of Licodia Eubea (in the province of Catania), I'll start by saying that in this procession a unique character comes to life in statue form that cannot be found anywhere else place in Sicily, it is called "Ciurciddu" (translated "Circello"), he pulls Christ with a rope tied around his neck while he carries the Cross, this bad character has a profound symbolic-allegorical meaning, he represents "the Evil that exists in the world, the refusal towards the Truth announced by Christ", causing him suffering by pulling him with the rope tied around his neck. The boys and men "carriers of the floats" gather together, preparing for the moment when, once the procession has begun, the "'a Giunta" will take place around 10:00 a.m., or rather the very painful "encounter" between Christ ( who carries the Cross, linked to Ciurciddu) and His Mother of Sorrows (with her heart pierced by a sword, an iconic image of Spanish origin), during the meeting "the bow or greeting takes place" between the two floats, it is the Greeting that Mother and Son do in one of the most characteristic moments of this procession. While the two vares are brought to an ancient church, another event takes place which strongly characterizes this tradition, the "auction of the Cross" takes place, the ability to carry the Cross, weighing 70 kg, on one's shoulder, up to Churc of Calvary (a long uphill journey to reach the upper part of the town), is put up for auction, the highest bidder wins this possibility, after which an extraordinary event occurs: the devotee who wins the auction is embraced by numerous villagers, with great transport and affection, this is because those who participate in the auction certainly do so out of devotion but also possibly because they have had someone in their family with more or less serious health problems, and this is why people hug them and encourage them by showing their closeness . In the afternoon the procession resumes, now the Christ is dead, he is in the vara with the Urn, and is called "'u Signuri' a cascia" (by which term means "the Lord in the coffin"), the two vare (the dead Christ and His Mother of Sorrows) are carried in procession up to the Church of Calvary, where the heavy and ancient Cross carried on the shoulder by the devotee was hoisted; here, even if Christ is dead, the Crucifixion takes place , the mystical moment is accompanied by ancient songs-lamentations by the singers of the SS association. Crucifix; subsequently Christ is placed from the Cross in the urn, and descends back into the center of the town, where in the church of the Capuchin Fathers the devout people "make peace with the Lord", an act of reconciliation and request for forgiveness before the figure of Christ Died. Subsequently, late in the evening, Christ and his Mother are led into the Mother Church.

Il Venerdì Santo è una ricorrenza che in Sicilia acquista un significato catartico per chi è alla ricerca, non solo fotografica, delle tradizioni popolari (le troviamo diffuse in tutta la Sicilia), che altro non sono che un evento sociale, culturale, che fondono in un tutt’uno passato e presente; dal web “le tradizioni popolari sono una memoria storica legata ad usanze e ritualità che hanno dato forma ai valori e alle credenze di quella cultura”. La Pasqua in Sicilia può essere fonte di ricerca, essa può apparire non priva di contraddizioni, citando il pensiero di quel grande pensatore Siciliano che fu Leonardo Sciascia, per lui la Sicilia non può dirsi cristiana riferendosi alle feste Siciliane, al massimo lo è solo in apparenza, in quelle esplosioni propriamente pagane, tollerate dalla Chiesa; Sciascia affronta l’argomento come saggio introduttivo nel libro “Feste religiose in Sicilia”, illustrato con fotografie di un giovane ed ancora sconosciuto Ferdinando Scianna, libro che non mancò di sollevare qualche polemica per la nota introduttiva del pensatore Siciliano, essendo così in aperta polemica con la sacralità di quella devozione popolare Siciliana (il libro fu oggetto di una stroncatura da parte del quotidiano della Santa Sede, l’Osservatore Romano), Sciascia scrive: “che cos’ è una festa religiosa in Sicilia? Sarebbe facile rispondere che è tutto, tranne che una festa religiosa. E’, innanzi tutto, un’esplosione esistenziale; l’esplosione dell’es collettivo, dove la collettività esiste soltanto a livello dell’es. Poiché è soltanto nella festa che il siciliano esce dalla sua condizione di uomo solo, che è poi la condizione del suo vigile e doloroso super io, per ritrovarsi parte di un ceto, di una classe, di una città ”. Altro pensatore, scrittore e poeta Siciliano, Gesualdo Bufalino, fornisce indicazioni interessanti sul senso che i Siciliani danno a questi eventi popolari tradizionali, egli dice “durante la Pasqua ogni siciliano si sente non solo uno spettatore, ma un attore, prima dolente e poi esultante, per un Mistero che è la sua stessa esistenza. Il tempo dell’evento è quello della Primavera, la stagione della metamorfosi, così come metamorfica è la natura stessa del rito nel quale, come in un racconto dell’Opera dei Pupi, si combatte la lotta del Bene contro il Male. Sono presenti l’Inganno, il Dolore e il Trionfo, la Passione, la Morte e la Resurrezione di Cristo”.
In breve, la Pasqua in Sicilia è una ricorrenza profondamente sentita in tutta l’isola fin dall’antichità, essa ha sempre avuto come fulcro la commossa partecipazione del popolo, con rappresentazioni e processioni divenuti riti e tradizioni che caratterizzano inequivocabilmente numerosissimi centri Siciliani, che rievocano i momenti più salienti narrati nei Vangeli e che ricordano la Passione, la Morte e la Resurrezione di Gesù Cristo, con cortei formati dalle varie confraternite (a volte con rievocazioni teatrali) che hanno in se contenuti e simbologie spesso provenienti dalla dominazione Spagnola, avvenuta in Sicilia tra il XVI ed il XVII secolo.
Quest’anno, in occasione del Venerdì Santo mi sono recato nel grazioso paese di Licodia Eubea (in provincia di Catania), inizio col dire che in questa processione prende vita, in forma statuaria, un personaggio unico che non si trova in nessun’altro luogo della Sicilia, si chiama “Ciurciddu” (tradotto “Circello”), egli tira con una corda legata al collo il Cristo mentre porta la Croce, questo tristo personaggio ha un profondo significato simbolico-allegorico, egli rappresenta “il Male che c’è nel mondo, il rifuto verso la Verità annunciata dal Cristo”, creandogli sofferenza tirandolo con la corda legata al collo. I ragazzi e gli uomini “portatori delle vare” si riuniscono tra loro, preparandosi al momento in cui, iniziata la processione, si realizzerà attorno alle ore 10:00 “ ‘a Giunta”, ovvero “l’incontro” dolorosissimo tra il Cristo (che porta la Croce, legato a Ciurciddu) e Sua Madre l’Addolorata (col cuore trafitto da una spada, immagine iconica di origine spagnola), durante l’incontro “avviene l’inchino o saluto” tra le due vare, è il Saluto che Madre e Figlio si fanno in uno dei momenti più caratteristici di questa processione. Mentre le due vare vengono portate in una antica chiesa, avviene un altro evento che caratterizza fortemente questa tradizione, ha luogo “l’asta della Croce”, il poter portare in spalla la Croce, del peso di 70 kg, fino alla Chiesa del Calvario (un lungo percorso in salita a raggiungere la parte alta del paese), viene messo all’asta, il maggiore offerente si aggiudica questa possibilità, dopodiché avviene un fatto straordinario: il devoto che si è aggiudicato l’asta viene abbracciato da numerosissimi paesani, con grande trasporto ed affetto, questo perché chi partecipa all’asta lo fa certamente per devozione ma anche possibilmente perché in famiglia ha avuto qualcuno con problemi più o meno gravi di salute, ed è per questo che le persone lo abbracciano e lo incoraggiano mostrandogli la loro vicinanza. Nel pomeriggio riprende la processione, adesso il Cristo è morto, si trova nella vara con l’Urna, ed è chiamato “ ‘ u Signuri ‘ a cascia” (col quale termine si intende “il Signore nella cassa da morto”), le due vare (il Cristo morto e Sua Madre l’Addolorata) vengono portate in processione fin sopra la Chiesa del Calvario, dove la pesante ed antica Croce portata in spalla dal devoto è stata issata, qui, anche se il Cristo è morto, avviene la Crocifissione, il mistico momento è accompagnato da antichi canti-lamentazioni ad opera dei cantori dell’associazione SS. Crocifisso; successivamente il Cristo viene deposto dalla Croce nell’urna, e ridiscende nel centro del paese, ove nella chiesa dei Padri Cappuccini il popolo dei devoti “ fa ‘ a Paci co’ Signuri”, atto di riconciliazione e richiesta di perdono innanzi la figura del Cristo Morto. Successivamente, in tarda serata, il Cristo e Sua Madre vengono condotti nella Chiesa Madre.

Antananarivo (Tananarive, en francés) es la capital de Madagascar, así como de la provincia homónima. Cuenta con una población de 1.275.207 habitantes (2018), lo que la convierte en la ciudad más poblada del país. La ciudad se encuentra ubicada en el centro de la isla, a unos 145 km de la costa oriental, que es la más cercana. En la actualidad la ciudad es una capital moderna, además del principal centro administrativo, económico, demográfico y judicial de Madagascar.
El nombre, de manera literal, significa "En la Ciudad de los Mil" en malgache, compuesto formado por el prefijo locativo A-, tanana que significa "ciudad" o "aldea" y arivo, "mil", (aunque la forma correcta sería Atnànan'ny Arivolahy) a causa de la cantidad de soldados que formaron su primer guarnición.
En efecto, según la tradición oral, el rey de Imerina, Andrianjaka (siglo XVII), pidió a mil guerreros que tomaran y protegieran el dominio real de la colina de Analamanga. El cerro y la ciudad conservaron el nombre de Analamanga hasta el reinado de Andriamasinavalona, quien les dio el nombre actual en honor a esos mil guerreros.
Sin embargo, no todos los investigadores aceptan esta leyenda; es posible que el nombre original fuese Antaninarivo, "en la tierra del pueblo", y Andriamasinavalona la denominase Atnànan'ny Arivolahy, de donde vino la forma híbrida Antananarivo por etimología popular.
Por aféresis propia del malgache, en francés se la llamó Tananarive con omisión del locativo, y en ocasiones simplemente Tana.
La ciudad dispone de comunicaciones por carretera con otras ciudades del país, vías ferroviarias y cuenta con el Aeropuerto Internacional Ivato que, con más de 1 500 000 de pasajeros anuales, es el aeropuerto más importante del país y proporciona a la ciudad vuelos nacionales con distintas regiones de Madagascar, además de trayectos internacionales hacia París, Johannesburgo, Nairobi y otras importantes ciudades africanas.
El clima es templado por su altitud. Enero es el mes más cálido en la ciudad, con un promedio de 22 grados Celsius; el mes más frío es julio, con un promedio de 15 grados Celsius. La media anual de temperatura es de 19 grados Celsius. Las heladas son raras en la ciudad; son más comunes en elevaciones más altas. Los meses con menos precipitaciones son julio y agosto con menos de 10 milímetros, mientras que en los meses de diciembre y enero llueve más con 290 milímetros. El promedio anual de precipitaciones es de 1358 milímetros.

Antananarivo (French: Tananarive), also known by its colonial shorthand form Tana, is the capital and largest city of Madagascar. The administrative area of the city, known as Antananarivo-Renivohitra ("Antananarivo-Mother Hill" or "Antananarivo-Capital"), is the capital of Analamanga region. The city sits at 1,280 m (4,199 ft) above sea level in the center of the island, the highest national capital by elevation among the island countries. It has been the country's largest population center since at least the 18th century. The presidency, National Assembly, Senate and Supreme Court are located there, as are 21 diplomatic missions and the headquarters of many national and international businesses and NGOs.

Antananarivo was historically the capital of the Merina people, who continue to form the majority of the city's 1,275,207 (2018 Census) inhabitants. The surrounding urban areas have a total metropolitan population approaching three million. All eighteen Malagasy ethnic groups, as well as residents of Chinese, Indian, European and other origins, are represented in the city. It was founded circa 1610, when the Merina King Andrianjaka (1612–1630) expelled the Vazimba inhabitants of the village of Analamanga. Declaring it the site of his capital, Andrianjaka built a rova (fortified royal dwelling) that expanded to become the royal palaces of the Kingdom of Imerina. The city retained the name Analamanga until the reign of King Andriamasinavalona (1675–1710), who renamed it Antananarivo ("City of the Thousand") in honor of Andrianjaka's soldiers.

J'avais pris mon zoom 70-200 pour essayer de le prendre en vol quand il arrive. Vraiment trop difficile car je suis à 6 m de l'auge en grès et il arrive caché par la végétation autour. Du coup j'ai posté cette photo pour montrer un peu les coulisses de mes récentes photos de geais au bord de la rivière (à droite du mur et 2 m plus bas)

Le mot arabe « kasbah » désignait à l’origine une citadelle ou fortification militaire d'architecture berbère originaire des pays d'Afrique du Nord. Par extension, le terme désigne également le cœur historique – fortifié ou non – d'une ville d'Afrique du Nord.
Les remparts de la kasbah furent édifiés en 1195 par le sultan Yacoub el-Mansour après sa victoire sur Alphonse III. Ces murailles consolidées au 17e s et 18e s par les Alaouites, dont leur fondateur Moulay Rachid (frère aîné de Moulay Ismaïl) qui édifia les remparts ceignant le jardin andalou, forment une construction militaire si solide qu'elle servit pendant des siècles de repaire aux pirates salaouis.
La tribu Oudaya est une tribu arabe belliqueuse qui fut installée dans la kasbah par Moulay Ismaïl pour protéger la ville des tribus rebelles. Le site leur doit le nom définitif de kasbah des Oudayas. C'est la kasbah qui a d’ailleurs donné son nom à la ville. Le Ribat est en effet un couvent fortifié et c'est ici que s'installèrent des moines-soldats qui partaient en guerre sainte en Espagne contre les chrétiens.
Rabat, capitale du Maroc, est située au bord de l'Atlantique au nord-ouest du Maroc. Elle est séparée de la ville de Salé au niveau de l'embouchure du Abou Regreg, d'où leur surnom de "villes jumelles". Aujourd’hui Rabat est à la fois une capitale moderne et une ville historique, le résultat d’un dialogue fructueux entre le passé arabo-musulman et le modernisme occidental. Cela lui a valu d’être classé au patrimoine de l'humanité de l'UNESCO (WHL- 1401) en 2012.
