Rabat

A magnificent fortress city, Rabat is situated on the Atlantic Ocean. The capital city of Morocco enjoys pleasant climes and splendid views of the river Bou Regreg. Essentially stippled with traditional architecture, the city has come to embrace the contemporary changes in its structure. An exemplar of urban planning, the city's Mohammed V Avenue displays a perfect balance of tranquility and a pleasant metropolitan bustle. Medina of Rabat, which was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is another famous area in the city. It is known for its quaint souq teeming with shops selling a range of products. Other cultural and historically significant sites include the Chellah, a complex housing minarets and old mosques, and Kasbah Les Oudaias (Kasbah of the Udayas). Backdropped by the waters of the Atlantic and surrounded by an air of opulence, Rabat is one of the most beautiful cities in Morocco.
