Rabat, Morocco

Off the Beaten Path in Rabat

The real Rabat lives beyond the tourist trail. In the neighborhoods where locals actually spend their time, you'll find the authentic character, the unmarked restaurants, and the quiet corners that make a city worth knowing.

Morocco's elegant capital on the Atlantic coast, with a UNESCO-listed medina, a 12th-century fortress, and the unfinished Hassan Tower — less hectic than Marrakech or Fez.
