Rabat

Rabat

Capital of Morocco since 1956, this city was an important settlement in Phoenician, Roman, Almohad and Merinid times and the city is littered with interesting architectural remains. There is the old medina, many monuments, museums, Kasbah Oudayas and the famous Challah. The coast is often breezy in summer and therefore feels several degrees cooler than inland.
