- Mausoleum of Mohammad V - After an hour’s drive from Casablanca, you can explore the magnificent Grand Islamic Mausoleum in Rabat, built between 1961 and 1971 to honor King Mohammed V after his death in 1961. Designed by Vietnamese architect Nguyen Viet Thu and constructed by skilled Moroccan artisans, the mausoleum is an architectural wonder showcasing intricate Islamic design. Its exquisite marble work and white onyx tombs, located beneath a striking dome, make this site a significant tribute to Moroccan heritage and a masterpiece of craftsmanship.
- Royal Palace of Rabat - The Royal Palace, formerly known as the Imperial Palace or “Dar el-Makhzen,” is the primary royal palace in Rabat, the capital of Morocco, and serves as the official residence of the Moroccan royal family. Originally built as the palace of the Alaouite sultans, it remains one of several royal residences within Morocco’s “imperial cities,” alongside others like the Skhirat Palace, notable for the attempted coup during the reign of King Hassan II.
Today, the Royal Palace in Rabat functions largely as an administrative center rather than a royal residence, as King Mohammed VI, son of Hassan II, does not reside there. It is also home to the seat of government, underscoring its role as a central hub for Morocco’s political and administrative activities.
- Hassan Tower - The Hassan Tower is an iconic landmark in Rabat, the capital of Morocco. Originally intended to serve as the minaret for a grand mosque commissioned in the 12th century, the structure remains incomplete, adding a unique character to its historic charm. Today, it symbolizes the architectural ambition of its time and is admired for its intricate details and impressive height, making it a must-see for visitors exploring Morocco’s rich cultural heritage.
- Bab Chellah - Explore the Chellah fortress, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2012 and one of Rabat’s top tourist destinations. This ancient site uniquely blends Roman ruins with a medieval Islamic necropolis, creating a rich tapestry of history and culture. Wandering through its impressive remnants, visitors are transported back through centuries, discovering the layered heritage that makes Chellah a truly remarkable landmark.
- Ancient Walls Medina Rabat - Just a five-minute walk away is an impressive historic fortification dating back to the 12th century. Constructed from sturdy sandstone and reinforced with bastions, gates, and towers, these walls once protected the old city of Rabat. Today, visitors can stroll along the fortifications, taking in panoramic views of the Medina and the surrounding area, all while immersing themselves in the rich history and enduring beauty of this ancient city.
- Andalusian Gardens - Nearby, there is a stunning traditional garden crafted in the early 20th century by French architect Jean-Claude Forestier. This Andalusian-style garden captivates with its serene reflecting pool at the center, surrounded by vibrant orange trees, lush flower beds, fountains, and charming pavilions. Pergolas and intricate tilework add to its beauty, with ornate gates that welcome visitors into this peaceful oasis. It’s important to note, however, that the garden is closed on Fridays.
- Kasbah des Oudaias - The Kasbah of the Oudayas, also known as the Oudaïas, is a historic fortified military camp situated in Rabat, Morocco, dating back to the 12th century. Renowned for its architectural and cultural significance, the kasbah was recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2012. Within its walls lies one of the earliest palaces constructed by Morocco’s Alaouite royal dynasty, which continues to reign to this day. This historic site offers a glimpse into Morocco’s royal heritage and remains a treasured landmark for visitors and locals alike.
- Plage de Rabat - The Rabat Beach, or Plage de Rabat, is a popular coastal spot located along the Atlantic coast in Morocco’s capital city, Rabat. Known for its scenic beauty and vibrant atmosphere, the beach attracts both locals and tourists who come to enjoy its sandy shores, ocean views, and mild climate. It’s a great spot for leisurely walks, sunbathing, and surfing, with facilities nearby that make it accessible and family-friendly.
