10 Budget-friendly Things to do in Rabat That You Shouldn't Miss

July 1, 2021 Tonie Szymanski

Morocco's coastal capital since 1912, Rabat has just over a million people. Modern and even reserved by Moroccan standards, the city also has many fascinating historic sites, including the picturesque Kasbah of the Udayas, built in the mid-12th century. The unique Hassan Tower, begun at the end of the 12th century, was meant to have the world's largest minaret, but was never completed. Just opposite the tower lies the 20th-century Mausoleum of Mohammed V, another of the city's main attractions.

Mausoleum of Mohammad V

Reviewed By ogerkan - New York City, United States

Located on a large hilltop alongside the Hassan Tower complete with ceremonial guards on horseback and foot, the Mausoleum of Mohammad V is an impressive site. Plan on walking the square and observing the exquisite exterior prior to entering to pay your respects.

Chellah

Reviewed By J0anned568 - Canberra, Australia

This site in Rabat is well worth a visit and is of considerable historic interest. Getting there by private bus (or car) was tricky towards the middle of the day because local traffic was in log-jam in a nearby intersection so allow time for this or walk. Leaving was even more difficult as we needed to turn left out of the ruins and we had to go the long way around the block and that took 20 mins to get back to essentially the same spot but on opposite side of the road. The site is Arabic/Islamic ruins set among older Roman ruins. They are beautifully presented having been integrated into a botanic garden. The ruins are at the bottom of a hill reached by a 'steepish' sloping path with some steps. The ground within the ruins is uneven, so less mobile people need to be careful. We had our own guide, and I suggest making sure that you can get information about the site online or out of guide books otherwise you will wander around and not realise what you are looking at. I don't recall any signs to point out different elements. Good winter rains meant that the area was covered by wildflowers and wonderful yellow-coloured lichens. Storks were perched on large stick nests and were often engaged in mating activities with lots of noise and fanfare. Take time to wander as you can catch site of mosaics and other features. It as worth visiting the pond with eels (good apparently for fertility) and we gave the local woman some money to feed the cats. It was very peaceful and a great place to spend a quite time. It was not very busy during our visit in late March.

Museum Mohamed VI of Modern and Contemporary Art

Reviewed By waway1

Got a chance to visit this wonderful museum in Rabat from Casablanca. The staff was very helpful and the exhibits were intriguing for myself and my two young kids. We had such a great time and spent an hour and a half there. Also visited the coffee shop that is just around the corner and did an art project with them on the lawn across the street.
