About Rabat
Rabat
Rabat offers one of Morocco’s most balanced city experiences: imperial history, archaeological remains, oceanfront spaces and a calm modern center. Hassan Tower and the Mausoleum of Mohammed V form a major monumental ensemble, while the Kasbah of the Udayas and the medina provide intimate streets and traditional architecture. Chellah adds a powerful archaeological dimension. The city works well for cultural sightseeing, short urban stays and combined trips with Casablanca.
