Rabat

Morocco's elegant capital city sits at the mouth of the Bou Regreg River, offering a more refined and less chaotic experience than Marrakech or Fes. Rabat's UNESCO-listed medina, the picturesque blue-and-white Kasbah des Oudaias, the unfinished 12th-century Hassan Tower, and the modernist Mohammed V Mausoleum showcase the full breadth of Moroccan history from medieval to contemporary.
