Morocco Rabat

Morocco's capital, Rabat is a modern city with wide boulevards, gardens and light, white buildings, steeped in history with its origins going back to the 7th century. The King of Morocco lives here in his palace amid trees and flowers. Local colour is to be found in the old part of the city, the Medina, and the Kasbah. There are great recreational opportunities, with a world-renowned golf club (the Dar Es Salaam offering 45 holes) and a few lovely beaches at hand. Rabat sits on the Atlantic coastal plain at the mouth of the river Bou Regreg, opposite to its twin city of Sale.

Direct and indirect flights arrive at Casablanca (70 kms south of Rabat)
