Rabat, Morocco’s capital, combines historic traditions and sites with carefully planned modern urban life, making it an appealing destination for travelers seeking a less tourist-heavy experience. The city, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, has wide, leafy avenues, modern transportation, coastal attractions, and an accessible medina. For the best experience, visit in spring, early summer, or fall, as these seasons offer the most comfortable conditions. Key attractions include the Mausoleum of Mohammed V, the Royal Palace, and the Chellah necropolis, where Roman and Islamic remains coexist. There is also the Kasbah des Oudaias, with its rose-pink walls, blue-and-white houses, and its citrus-scented Andalusian Garden. Rabat is also relatively good value, with inexpensive food and transportation, though luxury hotels serve travelers who want to splurge
