Visiting Rabat

Rabat, the capital and largest city in Morocco with over one million inhabitants, is a must-visit destination for any traveler in the northeast of the country.

Located on the Atlantic coast, its mix of UNESCO World Heritage-listed historical monuments and vibrant contemporary culture is worth taking time to discover: admire the Hassan Tower, get lost in the medina, visit the Mausoleum of Mohammed V, stroll through the Souk Rue des Consuls, visit the Chellah Necropolis, walk in the botanical experimental garden with its 250 different fruit trees and plants, and visit the Kasbah of the Oudayas… there is something for everyone!

Not to mention its numerous restaurants serving Moroccan and internationally recognized cuisine. But that’s not all – thanks to its location on the Atlantic Ocean, the capital is an ideal place for water activities or to spend a relaxing beach holiday in good company!
