The 10 Best Points of Interest & Landmarks in Rabat, Rabat-Sale-Zemmour-Zaer Region
Morocco's coastal capital since 1912, Rabat has just over a million people. Modern and even reserved by Moroccan standards, the city also has many fascinating historic sites, including the picturesque Kasbah of the Udayas, built in the mid-12th century. The unique Hassan Tower, begun at the end of the 12th century, was meant to have the world's largest minaret, but was never completed. Just opposite the tower lies the 20th-century Mausoleum of Mohammed V, another of the city's main attractions.

Located on a large hilltop alongside the Hassan Tower complete with ceremonial guards on horseback and foot, the Mausoleum of Mohammad V is an impressive site. Plan on walking the square and observing the exquisite exterior prior to entering to pay your respects.

The capital of Morocco Rabat it in total contrast of Casablanca , wide tree lined streets a cosmopolitan feel side walk cafes and a little of a calmer pace. The casbar in the old town with its original fortress walls are a picture of time gone by. Meandering though the narrow cobblestone streets past many a wall painted in whitr and blue and sone very ornate doors our guide told us the history of the casbar. Pirates, Mores , Slaves , early European traders whoe purchsaed the pillaged itemes from the pirates to sell back in Europe. The casbar sits above the very blue Atlantic ocean. Further meandering fondus in a unexpected garden left frome the Mores days. Rabat is a must on any tour you do in Morocco.

The Rabat Médina isn’t built for tourists, it is a real local place with street food, clothing shops, and all the bustle of a crowded downtown. There are street performers trying to make a dime. I love this Medina because it is local and gives me the real view of how Rabat lives, not the glossy tourist area of Fez. Very worthwhile!
