Rabat: Morocco's So Clean It Doesn't Feel Like Africa!
🌊 Must-Visit Spots 1️⃣ Kasbah des Oudaias A blue-and-white seaside fortress that looks like a slice of Santorini. Climb to the top for Atlantic views, then explore mint tea cafés and artisan shops. Mission: Impossible 5 filming location (Tom Cruise shot car chase scenes here!). 2️⃣ Mausoleum of Mohammed V + Hassan Tower Royal tomb: White marble and golden domes showcase Islamic architectural perfection. Hassan Tower: A 12th-century 44m unfinished minaret surrounded by haunting columns. 3️⃣ Royal Palace The king’s workplace—emerald-green roofs and golden gates radiate grandeur. Can only visit the exterior, but the Friday guard-changing ceremony is impressive! 4️⃣ Bank of Africa Tower Africa’s tallest skyscraper (250m), where glass modernity meets old-world charm. ✨ Hidden Gems Medina strolls: More peaceful than Fes/Marrakech—zero pushy vendors. Oceanfront sunset: Corniche Boulevard offers postcard-perfect views. Local flavors: Try Rabat’s seafood pastilla (crispy fish-filled pastry). 📌 Travel Tips Safety: Very walkable, even at night (well-lit streets). Transport: Use metered taxis or trams; the medina is best explored on foot. #Rabat #MoroccoHiddenGems #AfricaOffTheBeatenPath
