Rabat Medina Walking

The Kasbah of the Oudaias is a picturesque medieval Almohadan fortress citadel, serving as a residential area with commanding ocean views from the acropolis and refreshing Andalusian gardens at its base. Access the Andalusian gardens through the smaller door near the main gate to avoid informal guides. Outside the gardens, a cozy outdoor café awaits with a pleasant ocean view.

The Hassan Tower and the Royal Mausoleum stand as iconic attractions in Rabat. The Hassan Tower, an octagonal structure with an observation deck, accompanies the Royal Mausoleum, home to the tomb of Mohammed V, the current king of Morocco. The Royal Guards provide guidance and information about the sites, and both attractions are open to the public.

Chellah, an ancient city founded by the Carthaginians, conquered by the Romans, and later under Arab rule, is now a captivating site. Abandoned and reclaimed by numerous birds, especially storks, Chellah boasts a breeding ground with nests atop the old minaret. Explore its rich history and beautiful surroundings, witnessing outstanding Roman and Moroccan elements.

The Royal Palace is an expansive compound, though visiting isn't permitted. However, it offers a pleasant walk, and tourists may stroll from one entrance to another, especially if they appear to be visitors. The presence of armed guards enhances the atmosphere of this grand structure.
