Rabat, though in possession of a strong tourist economy, is not as popular a destination relative to its other Moroccan siblings— Marrakech, Fez , and Casablanca . The resulting comparative lack of traveler congestion, however, makes this city of 1.5 million inhabitants all the more alluring.
The capital of the country, Rabat’s heritage , art, and identity are all evident in its numerous and spectacular shops, museums, and beaches, its international flair and importance signified by the presence of foreign embassies and dignitaries.
The Palace in the Kasbah , founded in the 1600’s, hosts a repository of Berber jewelry and carpets, and its Andalucian Gardens represent some of the most beautiful flowers and shrubbery to be found the world over.
Another popular area of the capital city, Rabat’s Medina is a small, “old city” section of town, full of cafes and shops intermingling with bazaars specializing in curious apparel and souvenirs.
The Kasbah des Oudaias makes for beautiful river views and historical tours of ancient fortifications, mosques, and gates. Other tourist points of interest include the citadel of Chellah and Volubilis. source : www.tripadvisor.com
