Rabat city view

🇲🇦 Morocco city guide

Rabat

A calm, compact capital where Atlantic views, historic quarters and modern tram lines meet.

Rabat rewards a slower pace: the Kasbah of the Udayas, Hassan Tower and Bouregreg waterfront are easy to combine. The modern tram network also reaches neighbouring Salé. Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium is part of Morocco’s proposed 2030 venue programme; final match allocation remains subject to confirmation.

Stadiums

Rabat–Salé Airport is closest; Casablanca Mohammed V offers more international options and an onward train. Rabat Agdal is the main high-speed and intercity station. Two tram lines cover central Rabat and Salé, with petit taxis useful beyond them.
