Hotels, riads, kasbahs, and hostels in Rabat

Rabat is the administrative capital of Morocco and one of the country's four imperial cities. Located on the Atlantic coast, at the mouth of the Bouregreg river, it blends an ancient medina, modern districts, and several major monuments of Moroccan history.

Among the must-see sites are the Hassan Tower , the Mausoleum of Mohammed V, and the Kasbah of the Udayas , which overlooks the ocean and the estuary. Rabat also boasts numerous gardens and wide avenues, giving it a more tranquil atmosphere than the large tourist medinas. The city has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2012 .

Rabat also provides a convenient starting point for exploring the north and its imperial cities. To the south, Casablanca offers a more contemporary perspective of Morocco, while inland, Meknes allows you to continue your journey through the ancient imperial capitals.
