Rabat Travel Guide

Rabat, Morocco's capital, is known for the Hassan Tower and the Kasbah of the Udayas.

📍 Destination Overview

Rabat, Morocco's Atlantic capital on the Bou Regreg, is one of four imperial cities. Its Almohad Hassan Tower and unfinished mosque attest to dynastic glory, and the Kasbah of the Udayas shows Andalusian blue-and-white charm. The Chellah ruins layer Roman and Marinid history and the medina is UNESCO-listed - a center of royal palace, boulevards and souks.
