Rabat
Morocco's calm, elegant capital where the river meets the Atlantic.
Morocco's calm, elegant capital where the river meets the Atlantic.
Rabat is the quiet counterpoint to Marrakech, an orderly, green, seaside capital with a UNESCO-listed old town. It rewards a slower pace: the unfinished Hassan Tower, the Kasbah of the Udayas above the river, the Chellah ruins where storks nest among Roman columns, and the andalusian gardens. A civilized, uncrowded day between the imperial cities.
Rabat is Morocco's capital and a UNESCO World Heritage site. It is calmer and greener than Marrakech, with monuments close together: the Hassan Tower and Mausoleum of Mohammed V, the Kasbah of the Udayas above the river mouth, and the Chellah. It fits naturally into itineraries between Casablanca, Fes and Tangier.
One full day covers the main monuments at a relaxed pace. Stay overnight if you want time for the medina and the seafront.
Yes. It sits on the way and breaks the journey with a calm, uncrowded visit.
