Morocco’s capital is far less visited than either Marrakech or Casablanca, but is nonetheless fascinating and ideal for a long weekend or as an addition to a tailor-made holiday including Fes and the north. Visitors can explore the picturesque Kasbah of the Udayas, wander through its blue-and-white streets, and enjoy views of the Atlantic Ocean.
Rabat is also home to impressive landmarks, including the Hassan Tower, the Mausoleum of Mohammed V, and the ancient Chellah necropolis, with its Roman and medieval ruins. Visitors should also make time for the beautiful Andalusian Gardens, and the impressive Royal Palace. The city’s medina is compact and easy to navigate, offering traditional markets where you can shop for local crafts, textiles, and souvenirs without the crowds often found in other Moroccan cities.
