Rabat: Morocco’s Political And Administrative Capital

Morocco’s capital is situated on the coast and has some of the most tranquil beaches. An extra perk is that the city has great weather all year round, making it a favourite among tourists. It is divided into two parts; the Old Town and the New Town. The New Town embodies modernity and is packed with wide boulevards and outdoor cafes while the Old Town or medina has a wistful charm to it with its traditional souk’s (bazaars) and an overall historical vibe.

Rabat has some of the best art galleries and museums in the country like the National Archaeological Museum and the Modern Art Museum. Winding alleyways with tiny blue and white homes and sparkling beaches with soothing waters are awaiting you in this city.

How to reach: Rabat is well served by train and you can get frequent connections to most places. There are two stations in Gare Rabat Ville-Medina/Downtown and Agdal. The Rabat International Airport is in the nearby town of Salé. The airport is served by a dedicated Stareo Bus that offers a direct connection to the city centre, just outside of Rabat Ville Train Station / Mohammed V Tramway Station.

Most Popular Attraction: Kasbah of the Udayas.
