Shallah is an archaeological site in today’s city of Rabat in the North African country of Morocco. It dominates the valley of the River Bouregreg where many civilizations chose to settle or frequent.

On the site are the traces of the Moors (the ancient Amazigh/Berbers), Pheonicians, Romans, and the different Medieval dynasties that ruled over Morocco. It is today an attraction for the locals and tourists alike. It is also home to different cultural manifestations of both the cities of Rabat and Salé.

The site has been the subject of the first excavations by the Moroccan Princess Khadija Fouad and the archaeologist Jules Borelli in the year 1928. But the archaeologist who’s most famous for his work in the site is Jean Boube who excavated around the 1950s. The excavations of the turn of the 20th century unearthed the Roman features, thus, destroying the levels above it. This was the case in many excavations in Morocco and perhaps the most famous is that of Volubilis. With the development of excavation techniques, more of the site was preserved and documented.

Today, the site is studied through doctoral research focusing on one archaeological aspect or another of the site. The latest works were about the Roman baths, the Roman oil presses, and the Merinid royal necropolis.
