Rabat Walking Tour
Rabat, Morocco
Why Walk Rabat
Rabat has been Morocco's capital since 1912 and holds a UNESCO World Heritage designation for its blend of historic and modern heritage. The Kasbah of the Udayas, a 12th-century Almohad fortress above the mouth of the Bou Regreg River, contains a tranquil Andalusian garden and blue-and-white painted lanes. The Hassan Tower, an unfinished 12th-century minaret intended to be the tallest in the world, stands beside the Mausoleum of Mohammed V.
