Rabat

Rabat, the capital of Morocco, is built on the banks of the Bouregreg River and the Atlantic Ocean. It is known for its landmarks, which showcase both Islamic and French colonial heritage, including the Kasbah of the Udayas. This Berber-era royal fort is surrounded by formal French-style gardens and overlooks the ocean. The city’s iconic Hassan Tower, a 12th-century minaret, towers over the remains of a mosque.
