Explore the capital's oldest quarter, Medina of Rabat--the walled city center and part of a wider World Heritage Site protecting a wealth of monuments in the metropolitan area. Taking shape with the building of the ramparts in the 12th century CE, the medina contains a lively collection of narrow streets, old homes, traditional cafes, and souks. Take a walking tour around the quarter, and make sure to head to the leather bazaar, where a large selection of stalls and shops sell high-quality leather goods, including poufs, shoes, bags, and wallets.

    The busy, walled old town of Rabat Medina centers on the Old Market, a souk with alleys of shops selling ceramics, spices, clothes, and jewelry. Not as nice as the Medinas in Fez and Marrakesh.

    I really enjoyed the Medina, a very different world compared to the rest of the city once you step inside. Most of it is residential, with very quiet and pretty streets, and plenty of cats roaming...

    The Medina is great but really long, as a tourist, it can be very overwhelming at times. I recommend you know where to go within the Medina.
