Rabat

Morocco's capital — the Kasbah of Oudayas and Hassan Tower.

Rabat — Morocco’s capital and a UNESCO World Heritage city — pairs imperial history with Atlantic calm: the Hassan Tower and Mausoleum of Mohammed V, the cliff-top Kasbah of the Udayas with its blue lanes and Andalusian garden, and the modern Mohammed VI Tower skyline. The medina is relaxed, the corniche walkable, and the high-speed train puts Casablanca 50 minutes away. Rabat suits travellers who want imperial-city culture without Marrakech intensity.
