The Chellah was a settlement built around the nearby freshwater springs. These then evolved into the Phoenician, then the Roman city of Sale, before decaying into ruins, as Rabat moved towards the north.

The sultans of the Merenid dynasty chose to bury their dead here. Moreover, the Chellah is most well-known as a necropolis. Later, an overnight stay will be in Riad or a hotel.
