Kasbah of the Udayas and medina

Perched above the mouth of the Bouregreg, the Kasbah of the Udayas is Rabat's gem: white-and-blue lanes, a monumental Almohad gate, a fragrant Andalusian garden and a Moorish café overlooking the ocean. The quarter is free to enter, but an official guide adds historical context and the best viewpoints. The visit continues into the neighbouring medina, calmer and more authentic than those of Marrakech or Fes, perfect for browsing carpets and crafts without pressure. Allow 2 hours for it all.

Hassan Tower, Mohammed V mausoleum and Chellah

The Hassan Tower site brings together a 12th-century unfinished minaret and an esplanade of columns, facing the Mohammed V mausoleum, a masterpiece of Moroccan craftsmanship guarded by ceremonial horsemen. Steps away, the Chellah necropolis layers the Roman ruins of Sala Colonia with Marinid remains overgrown by storks and gardens, one of the capital's most peaceful spots. A guided half-day links these UNESCO-listed sites and explains their 2,000 years of history.

Rabat, a stop between Casablanca and the north

An elegant, relaxed capital, Rabat is ideal for a one-day stop on a northern route. Linked to Casablanca (1h) and Tangier by the Al Boraq high-speed train, it's easy to visit without a car. Many travellers pair it with Casablanca on a trip or stop here en route to Meknes, Fes or Chefchaouen. Its corniche, museums (including the Mohammed VI Museum of Modern Art) and riverside cafés make it a pleasant cultural break, away from the tourist bustle.
