7 days in Rabat Itinerary

On a vacation in Rabat, a World Heritage Site and Morocco's capital, you can discover the city's long and rich history while enjoying a laidback atmosphere, less touristy than in the booming Casablanca and Marrakech.

Get out of town with these interesting Rabat side-trips: Meknes (Bab El-Khemis Gate & Meknes Medina) and Casablanca (Temple Beth-El, Hassan II Mosque, &more). There's much more to do: contemplate the long history of Chellah, admire the masterpieces at La Villa des Arts, admire the landmark architecture of Hassan Tower, and make a trip to Sidi Moussa Doukkali.
