Rabat, Morocco

Rabat Morocco

Rabat, despite being Morocco’s political and administrative capital, is not a typical tourist destination. However, to truly experience the essence of Morocco, visiting this imperial city is essential. Situated on the Atlantic Ocean at the mouth of the Bou Regreg River, Rabat is a place where tradition and modernity coexist harmoniously. Often considered dull compared to its larger coastal neighbor, Rabat has embraced modernity and is developing its own cosmopolitan atmosphere. The truth is, the capital is more relaxed, pleasant, and provincial than Casablanca, yet far less chaotic and hectic. Rabat boasts a long and rich history, influenced by Phoenicians, Romans, Carthaginians, French, and Arabic cultures, with numerous monuments to showcase this heritage. Its Old Town, the serene medina, was declared a World Heritage Site in 2012. Behind its red ochre walls, the Old City keeps the country’s traditions alive, featuring many Moroccan craft shops and traditional tea houses. The fortified gates, colorful magical white and blue walls, and spectacular ocean views provide ample reason to explore every inch of its streets. The beautiful enclosed Chellah, a peaceful complex of tombs and Roman ruins, is located in Rabat’s urban twin, Salé, just 2 km from the city center. Along Mohamed V Avenue, lined with palm trees, visitors will find the Parliament, the Al Sunna Mosque, the Essais Garden, and the majestic Royal Palace. An independent art scene is flourishing in the capital, with a growing number of galleries and spaces for visual arts. After a long day enjoying the city’s rich cultural offerings, visitors should head to Agdal, Rabat’s trendiest district. Artists, hipsters, and students alike fill its cafes and restaurants. This modern coastal city, blessed with a Mediterranean climate, is lively, cheerful, and safe. Rabat means "refuge" in Arabic, and it may not be a coincidence, as this city offers visitors culture, stunning architecture, tradition, and modernity, all away from the all-inclusive crowds that fill other parts of the country.
