The city offers the majestic kasbahs, the sea views, the royal palaces and a very lively cultural scene as the major attractions.
Rabat, a city that was and still is the capital of Morocco, presents a fascinating mixture of historical and modern-day attractiveness. It is situated on the Atlantic coast and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, which is characterized by its clean and quiet environment as well as its monuments that have preserved and reflected Morocco's opulent past.
A visit to the Kasbah of the Udayas, a stunning fortress with a view of the ocean, is among the things to do in Rabat and one can also stroll among the blue-and-white streets that remind him/her of Chefchaouen. The Hassan Tower and the Mausoleum of Mohammed V are great works of Moroccan history and artistry, while the Royal Palace in the city symbolizes the continuous rule of the monarchy in the country.
Rabat also has beautiful gardens, modern art galleries, and seaside promenades, which are all great places for a leisurely walk. The city has very well maintained the balance so that all types of people and lifestyles coexist, from traditional souks in the Medina to modern chic cafés and museums.
Regardless of the way you prefer to do that, tracing Morocco’s royal past, exploring coastal beauty, or just taking it easy, Rabat will definitely make you witness the cultural heart of the country.
