What to see in Rabat in 1 día
Rabat is one of those cities in the Arab countries that blend modernity and tradition almost unintentionally, without leaving any traces, simply by bringing together different neighbourhoods.
You can still visit the vibrant Medina, with its maze-like narrow streets, full of shops and markets interspersed with restaurants and cafés. The most famous market is the Gold Souk, which is enclosed with reeds and is not to be missed.
Furthermore, the Moroccan capital is one of the four imperial cities in Morocco thanks to some of its most important remains, such as the Oudayas Kasbah, the origins of Rabat, and the Hassan Tower, which was designed by the same architect as the Giralda in Seville.
One of the things that most defines Rabat is the crossing of the waters between the Bou Regreg river, which forms an important part of the city and almost looks like a closed sea at certain points, and the Atlantic Ocean, where the waters are open and lively.
Far from what you might think because of the hot months, Morocco’s capital is known as the city of gardens because it has large green areas all around. The most visited ones are the so-called Andalusian Gardens which were built in the old Almohad palace in front of the river in the Andalusian style.
Rabat Medina, authenticity, tradition and lots of shopping
By strolling leisurely and aimlessly through the Rabat Medina, you will get to know some of the essence of Morocco, from its popular and historical architecture to its customs and how it understands commercial relations.
