Every year, the historic Chellah in Rabat hosts a captivating cultural and theatrical program that transports visitors through time.

Unfortunately, I missed out on this year’s event due to sold-out tickets.

Luckily, my friend had an unforgettable experience and was eager to share it here with all of us.

She recently attended the “Nostalgia – Yesterday’s Emotion” show for the second time this year.

Unlike previous years, the show was held at night, adding an extra layer of enchantment to the already magical experience! Credit: Wafae &

As a fellow Muslimah Solo Traveler, she wanted to share her journey and inspire others to explore Morocco’s rich history and culture.

It was the first time my friend had attended such a show. She found it incredibly informative, providing a deep understanding of Moroccan history and the civilizations that shaped the Kingdom of Morocco.

Imagine stepping back in time…

That’s what it feels like to visit Chellah. It’s not just a place; it’s like a doorway to Morocco’s amazing past. Every corner of Chellah has a story. You’ll feel like an explorer, discovering secrets from long ago. The spectacle that unfolds here is a breathtaking blend of history, music, and dance.

It’s like watching a living, breathing history book.

So this nostalgic spectacle is not just a performance.. It’s an immersive experience that will leave you forever changed. It’s a reminder of the enduring power of history, its ability to transport us to different times and places, and to connect us to the shared human experience.

Chellah itself is super special. It’s so cool it got a gold star from UNESCO, kind of like a museum hall of fame!

So ditch the usual tourist spots and head to Chellah for something totally different!

And “Nostalgia: Yesterday’s Emotion” is a blast from the past that will leave you feeling like a history genius!

See you next year at Chellah in Rabat, Morocco’s capital city!

It’s recommended to reserve your ticket online in advance. The price is 30 DH for Moroccans and 70 DH (approximately $7) for tourists.

Safety-wise

Chellah is a safe place, and you’ll likely encounter friendly Moroccan families. Feel free to ask for help if needed.

One thing to note: The show is primarily in Moroccan dialect and classical Arabic, which might be challenging to understand for non-Arabic speakers. However, the overall atmosphere and visuals are still enjoyable.

So if you’re ever in Rabat, make sure to include Chellah’s historical spectacle on your itinerary
