Rabat is Morocco's administrative capital and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, home to some of the country's most significant Islamic and colonial monuments. The Kasbah of the Udayas, built by the Almohads in the 12th century on a clifftop above the Bou Regreg estuary, is one of Morocco's finest examples of Almohad military architecture, with whitewashed lanes, the Bab Oudaia gate, and a terraced Andalusian Garden inside. The Hassan Tower, begun in 1195 under Caliph Yaqub al-Mansur, would have been the world's tallest minaret at 86 metres had it been completed; today it stands at 44 metres surrounded by an esplanade of columns, beside the Mausoleum of Mohammed V. Chellah, on the city's southern edge, layers a Roman city (Sala Colonia) beneath a Marinid necropolis, with storks nesting on the minarets each spring. This page lists the attractions in Rabat that we have personally visited, with verified opening hours and practical tips.
