Rabat (NOT better known worldwide Casablanca) is the capital of Morocco and with population of over 1 million its the second largest city after Casablanca.
I was surprised to see so large city and the capital with so many calm and relaxing areas to visit. Rabat just didn't look as large and capital city (good!) at many places. Aditionally in contast to other main tourist centres within Morocco I found Rabat free of unfriendly guiding, hustling, street begging etc., ok - almost free :-).

Great tips Matt, brings make nice memories of Rabat and makes me look forward to Saturday when I'm off to Morocco for 2 weeks. I rememebr those guards at the Tour Hassan - they seemed very happy to pose for photos but then expected lots of Dirhams! | Diana75 Thu Feb 8, 2007 10:18 UTC
Another interesting page, other wonderful pictures. I love the one of the turet above the Atlantic Ocean. So interesting the part related to Chellah. | evaanna Sat Feb 3, 2007 19:39 UTC
Interesting because exotic, lots of practical information. Is there no way of only just peeping into a mosque for a non-Muslim? I wonder why Moroccans don't appreciate cats - would they rather have a plague of mice and rats? Chellah sounds really great. | Nemorino Mon Jan 22, 2007 23:18 UTC
Interesting travelogues and tips. Thanks for explaining what a Kasbah is. |
