Feels too Western to be a real Moroccan city, expensive
In a nutshell
Morocco's French city
solopes Says: All visitors of Rabat go to this place, and some of them limit themselves to it. A large terrace, with the remains of a never finished mosque is dominated by Hassan Tower from the 12th century. But when you enter, you'll be captivated by the harmony of the modern and very...
solopes Says: In the 12th century sultan Yacoub al-Mansour decided to build the biggest mosque in the world, with the biggest tower. He died a few years later and the works were stopped, with the tower reaching 44 of its planned 86 meters high. Lisbon's earthquake damaged the started...
solopes Says: At a short distance from town, in a facing hill, this necropolis is one of the oldest constructions in Morocco. Abandoned for centuries, and heavily damaged by an earthquake in the 18th century, it has been recuperated and gardened, acting today as one of the main touristy...
al2401 Says: While visiting the Oudaia Kasbah you must visit the lookout. From this part of the fortress there are spectacular views over the Atlantic Ocean, Bouregreg River, the city of Rabat and its twin city of Sale.Please refer to the page for the Oudaia Kasbah for the history and...
al2401 Says: The Oudaia Kasbah is built on the cliff on the south side of the estuary of the Bouregreg River and has views over Rabat and out over the Atlantic Ocean. It could be called a 'city within a city'.It was built during the 12th century by the Almohades as part of a...
al2401 Says: Chellah is an area of ancient and medieval ruins that at one stage was used as a necropolis. It is on the outskirts of Rabat, on the south side of the Bouregreg River. This site is the most ancient human settlement in the area. It was most likely settled by the Phoenicians...
Mikebb Says: In 1195 construction commenced on the Minaret with the intention of being the largest in the Muslim world at 286 feet. Two hundred columns were built to markout where the mosque was to be built. However when the Sultan died 5 years later construction ceased with the tower...
berenices Says: The inside of the dome of the Mohammed V Mausoleum is very impressive. It is twelve-sided, and filled with painted mahogany muqarnas (stalactites), and is the most intricate part of the mausoleum. The mausoleum was designed by a Vietnamese architect (Vo Tuan), and built by...

hongkong88 Says: I ate there twice during a recent business trip to Rabat. My friend had the sole and said it was great. I am not a seafood fan and it looked good to me. I had the kefta and they were also very good but a bit underdone for my taste. The bread and sauces that came with the...
Le Baron former Le Prive or La Bo M: Not Impressed!!!
gf7291 Says: This long awaited Grand Opening of a premier private restaurant and lounge was very disappointing. My expectation of this high end establishment was to see something new hit the Rabat nightlife scene, this was not delivered. The club is clean, dim lit and the sound system is...

From Rabat to Casablanca airport
lotharscheer Says: There are frequent trains from Rabat to Casablanca airport, 75 Dirham, you might have to change train in Casablanca Voyageurs station, every 30 minutes a train to Casablanca Voyageurs, from there every hour a train to the airport.There is also every second hour a train to...
Venelin Says: A very exciting way to get to Sale (Rabat's sister town) is by rowboat. The rowboats depart from near the Mausoleum of King Hassan as seen from the picture. The crossing takes a couple of minutes as the guy skilfully guides the boat across the river that divides the two...
Robin020 Says: During my stay in Morroco,I met some locals and one of them had a wicked sense of humour and invited me to have some Moroccan whisky.at a cafe.So we went after he ordered it was nothing but mint tea.and he started to laugh I was wondering whats going know he told the...

jayjayc Says: It is very common for a tourist to approach a local stranger in case he needs to ask for some directions, etc. This is a tourist approaching a local stranger. But when a local stranger approaches you first in Morocco, especially in Rabat, be vary cautious.One local guy,...
berenices Says: We were in the Café Maure in Oudaia Kasbah (that area with houses lime-washed in white and striking blue) and were enjoying the views of the river when a young woman who had just finished with a customer, came over and said that she would like to paint my hand. I said no...
solopes Says: A few kilometers out of Rabat, and close to Kenitra, someone decided to build a tropical garden. Surprisingly luxurious in such an arid country, the gardens are a good solution for a brake in your trip and to rest from urban agitation
JessieLang Says: There were farm stands along the road outside town, selling all sorts of things. The one we stopped at is run by a nice woman who brings her child with her. She had juju nuts, eggs, honey, snails, and live chickens, turkeys and guinea hens. The birds were all staked out with...
