Rabat

The capital, between history and calm.

Rabat pairs a blue-and-white kasbah, the unfinished Hassan Tower and the Chellah necropolis in a calm rare for a capital. Its gardens and seafront invite you to wander.

A little history

An Almohad imperial city, Rabat keeps from that ambition the unfinished Hassan Tower and the Oudayas kasbah. Capital of the kingdom since 1912, its medina and the Chellah archaeological site are UNESCO-listed.
