In Rabat, near the Hassan Tower, lies the Mausoleum of Mohammed V, the final resting place of the Moroccan king’s grandfather and two of his sons. From the outside, the mausoleum appears modest, with its restrained mosaic tiles and horseshoe arches. However, stepping inside reveals a striking contrast. As you gaze down from the gallery, the white onyx tombs are set against a backdrop of opulent gold leaf and intricate tilework, creating a visually stunning and reverent atmosphere.
