Beautiful place, a bit far from city center, which makes it hard to get to, compared to the Other museums in Rabat. But it deserve a visit. The fort is magnificent, the location on the coast adds some magic to the scenary. As for the museum, it is not the best I've visited so far. The Exhibitions are not enough for the national museum of photography. It has a lot of room for improvements, adding more photographs and maybe openning up more places in the Forteress would make it among the best. I had the chance to visit during Kourtna Exposition, which was about Moroccan football and the passion of Moroccan people for it. To be honnest it was awesome, and added a lot life and charm to the museum. Finally, Of course I am giving it a 5/5 because it is not only an incredible fort fron 19th century, but also it is home to the national museum of photography.

The museum is situated on Avenue Mokhtar gazoulite by the sea and next to the sports park. the entrance of the museum is clean and has green spaces around it. Inside, there are plenty of photography work, surrounding the museum there is an outdoor exhibition area which looks up to the sea. the view is fantastic and you can hear the waves whilst you are walking around there is literally sea water few meters away and plenty of space to sit down and enjoy the seabreeze. I recommend taking lunch with you and chill out and enjoy the sea front. The building itself has a history and it looks like it was some sort of ww1 mega gun defense line, I would assume it was built by the Germans or French ? maybe if you have an idea about that please drop on comments.

This museum is located within a seaside gun emplacement built by German engineers in the late 19th century, as part of the rivalry among the Great Powers in Morocco. A nice place to watch the waves. As of May 2023, there is just one exhibit, about soccer in Morocco -- inspired of course by the national team's success in the World Cup. Various perspectives, including street soccer, fan excitement, even the strange ritual of tossing shoes onto wires.... But we were very disappointed that there is no permanent collection on display, very different from the photography museum in Marrakech. That said, the exhibit space is small and surely inadequate for that unless other spaces in the building could be used.

Located halfway between the Rabat lighthouse and the old military hospital, Fort Rottembourg, Fort Hervé or Borj El Kebir, is a fortification erected at the end of the 19th century on the Rabat corniche to house two cannons of 30 tons from Hamburg and offered by the Germans.

Amazing view of the ocean from the museum. The entrance fee is 20 MAD (10 MAD for students). The museum itself is not too big so you can enjoy the exhibition for a while then enjoy the view outside it and it is just walking distance from the lighthouse.

شيد هذا البرج في عهد السلطان مولاي الحسن الأول، وقد بدأت به الأشغال في سنة 1889، ليتم تدشينه عام 1902، وكان يحمل برج ” روتانبورغ” نسبة إلى مصممه المهندس الألماني ” والتر روتانبورغ” ، وكان معدا لإيواء و حمل مدفعين من الحجم الكبير، بوزن 30 طن للواحد منهما، وهما من إهداء الشركة الألمانية “كروب” المتخصصة في صناعة الأسلحة الحربية الثقيلة إلى السلطان الذي أمر بتشييده في موقع استراتيجي، رغبة منه في تقوية الدفاع عن شواطئ البلاد، إلا أن هذا البرج و كذا المدفعين المذكورين لم يستعملوا لأغراض حربية وإنما استعمل البرج كمستودع للذخيرة. هذا وقد أطلق على برج روتنبورغ”، سنة 1912، برج “هيرفي” نسبة إلى القبطان الفرنسي، “هيرفي” الذي قضى هناك على إثر تحطم طائرته، ويعرف اليوم هذا البرج باسم ” البرج الكبير”. ليتحول في الاخير الى متحف الصور الفوتوغرافية .
