🇲🇦 Nobody Told Me Rabat Was This Beautiful❗️❗️❗️
🚆 Casablanca → Rabat Transport🌊 📍 From Casa Port Station: Ticket: 45 MAD (cash at counter/card at self-service machines). No passport/security checks—just hop on! Trains every 40-50 mins—get off at Rabat Ville (not the first stop!). ☕ Station has Starbucks/McDonald’s (normal prices). 🌊 How to Explore Rabat (One Day Is Enough!) I arrived at 3 PM and saw it all: 1️⃣ Kasbah des Oudayas (Mission: Impossible filming spot): 📍Whitewashed buildings (a bit touristy now), but the real magic is the Atlantic view from the fortress walls. 📍Watched fishermen on the rocks + napping cats on the steps. 📍Golden hour here? Pure cinema. 2️⃣ Atlantic Coast: 📍Left side: A vast cemetery with tombs facing the sea. 📍Right side: Crashing waves + mist rolling in—mystical Arab vibes. 📍Stood in the middle, split between awe and melancholy. (Great surf spot too! 🏄 Nearby surf shops rent gear.) 3️⃣ Rabat Old Market: 📍5-min walk from the above spots. 📍Local, hassle-free (no aggressive sellers!). 📍Scored two handmade leather bags (bargain hard!). 📍By dusk, vendors sell vintage jewelry—perfect for souvenirs. 🏡 Where I Stayed 📍Chambre Andalousie (Airbnb):🧸 📍A local family’s home—their kid gifted me her toys 🧸. 📍Hostess served hot mint tea, and we laughed in the courtyard. In that moment, happiness became tangible. #Rabat #KasbahDesOudayas #AfricaTravel #HiddenGems
