Rabat is a treasure trove of captivating sites. Among its gems is the Hassan Tower, paired with the Mausoleum of Mohammed V. This iconic 44-meter tower, the remains of a 12th-century unfinished mosque, stands proudly surrounded by an esplanade dotted with 200 columns. Opposite it is the arabo-andalusian styled mausoleum of Mohammed V - Hassan II. Venture to the Kasbah des Oudayas, a fortified former military camp from the 12th century, and find yourself spellbound. Through its grand gates, a maze of lanes painted in soothing blue and whitewashed walls unfolds - an oasis of calm juxtaposed against the city's hustle. The Chellah necropolis, built atop the ruins of the ancient Roman city Sala Colonia, dates back to the 13th century. Here, remnants of Roman times intertwine with the Merinid necropolis, the mosque ruins, the zaouia, and a fountain. Nature's reclaim over the site lends it an almost dreamlike ambiance. Close to the ocean, Rabat's Medina offers tranquility. Encircled by 17th-century walls with six gates, visitors meander, seeking unique crafts and delighting in its labyrinthine streets. The renowned Rue des Consuls, sheltered by an artistic canopy, is a highlight. The Saint-Pierre Cathedral, built in 1930 within the Hassan district, radiates pure Art Deco elegance. It symbolizes Morocco's religious diversity. Another chapter of Rabat's tale lies in the "new city", erected during the French Protectorate from 1912 to the 1930s, which boasts numerous iconic structures. And for those with an insatiable thirst for culture, Rabat offers various museums. From the Museum of History and Civilizations to the National Museum of Photography, each tells a unique story. Yet, the crown jewel remains the Mohammed VI Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, which in recent years has played host to grand exhibits. Dive in, and let Rabat's stories envelop you.
