1. 1

   Medina of Rabat

   30 min

   Old Medina, with its various street markets (souqs), is a fascinating place to explore. The side street leading to the Kasbah (Rue des Consuls) is full of history and traditional shops. The main market streets are Rue Souika and Avenue Mohammed V.

2. 2

   Kasbah des Oudaias

   30 min

   The Kasbah of the Oudaias, is a picturesque medieval Almohadan fortress citadel, still a residential area, with commanding ocean views from the acropolis and refreshing Andalusian gardens on it's base. The entrance to the Andalusian gardens is through the smaller door, down the steps from the main gate. In this entrance you are less likely to be harassed by informal “guides”. Outside the gardens you will find a cozy outdoor café with a nice ocean view.

3. 3

   Hassan Tower

   30 min

   The Hassan Tower and the Royal Mausoleum are two of the most famous attractions of Rabat. The Hassan Tower is an octagonal tower that features an observation deck. The Royal Mausoleum is also an octagonal building that was built in the early 18th century and is now home to the tomb of Mohammed V, the current king of Morocco. The Royal Guards are always on duty around the building and are available to provide guidance and information about the sites. Both attractions are free to visit.

4. 4

   Bab Chellah

   20 min

   Chellah is an old city founded by the Carthaginians, conquered by the Romans, and later passed under Arab rule. However, it was abandoned and settled again by unbelievable numbers of birds, namely storks. This breeding ground bubbled with bird life in spring, including stork nests on the top of the old minaret. The historical layers were also visible, with outstanding Roman and Moroccan parts. These perfect conditions have made Chellah a favourite destination for tourists, who can explore its fascinating history and beautiful surroundings.

5. 5

   Royal Palace of Rabat

   30 min

   The Royal Palace is a pretty huge place, but you can't really visit it (but it's a nice walk!). The armed guards might allow you walk from one entrance to another especially if you look like a tourist.
