RABAT - THE POSTAL MUSEUM

For the delight of philatelists from all over the world, this museum was founded in 1970. It brings together superb collections of Moroccan stamps, envelopes, telephones and telegraph machines, including the Baudot (telegraph with printer), as well as belinographs (machines for reproducing photographs over a long distance) and postal vans.

Among the major items is Morocco's first official stamp, dated 12th May 1912, showing the Aissaoua Mosque in Tangier.
