About the destination

Even though Rabat is the political and administrative capital of Morocco, it's not a typical tourist destination, but to truly understand the essence of Morocco, a visit to this imperial city is essential. Situated on the Atlantic Ocean at the mouth of the Bou Regreg river, Rabat is a city where tradition and modernity coexist. Often seen as dull compared to its larger sibling down the coast, Rabat has embraced modernity and is cultivating a cosmopolitan atmosphere of its own. The reality is that the capital is more relaxed, pleasant and more provincial than Casablanca, but far less chaotic and hectic. Rabat has a long and rich history, with influences from the Phoenicians, Romans and Carthaginians to the French and Arabs, and the city has a wealth of monuments to prove it. Its Old Town, the tranquil medina, was declared a World Heritage Site in 2012. Behind its red ochre walls, the Old City keeps all the country's traditions alive, with an abundance of Moroccan craft shops and traditional tea houses. The fortified gates, its enchanting white and blue walls and spectacular ocean views are reason enough to explore every corner of its streets. The beautiful enclosed Chellah, a serene complex of tombs and Roman ruins, is located in Rabat’s urban twin, Salé, 2km away from the capital’s city centre. 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 and there is a growing number of galleries and spaces for visual arts. After a long day enjoying the town’s extensive cultural offerings, visitors should head to Agdal, the trendiest district of Rabat. Artists, hipsters and students alike flock to its cafes and restaurants. This modern coastal city, blessed with a Mediterranean climate, is vibrant, joyful and safe. Rabat means refuge in Arabic, and it may not be a coincidence that this city offers visitors culture, stunning architecture, tradition and modernity, all away from the all-inclusive crowds that flock to other parts of the country.
