Capital city
Gardens, ramparts and royal monuments on the Atlantic, calmer and greener than Morocco’s other great cities.
About Rabat
Rabat is Morocco’s capital and its most relaxed imperial city. The historic centre and modern quarters together are inscribed by UNESCO as “Rabat, Modern Capital and Historic City: a Shared Heritage”.
It rewards a slow day: palace gates, a whitewashed kasbah above the river mouth and a Roman-era necropolis softened by storks and wildflowers.
Don’t miss
An unfinished 12th-century minaret facing a field of columns, beside the royal mausoleum.
Blue-and-white lanes, an Andalusian garden and views over the Bou Regreg estuary.
Roman ruins and a Marinid necropolis in a quiet walled garden.
A smaller, easygoing souk that feels refreshingly local.
