🇲🇦 Rabat: The Hidden Gem That Stole My Heart! 💙
No one told me Rabat would be this breathtaking—a capital so serene, so poetic, it feels like a secret waiting to be discovered. 🚂 Casablanca → Rabat (Easy & Cheap!) From Casa Port station: Buy tickets at the counter (cash) or self-service machine (card) – 45 MAD (~$4.50) No passport/security checks – just hop on! Get off at Rabat Ville (not the first stop!) Trains run every 40-50 mins – super convenient! 🌊 Rabat in Half a Day? Yes! 1️⃣ Kasbah of the Oudayas Mission Impossible filming location 🎥 Blue-white alleys + epic Atlantic views Cats napping on steps 🐱 + local fishermen casting lines 2️⃣ Atlantic Coastline Left side: A sea of tombs facing the ocean – hauntingly beautiful Right side: Wild waves + surfers riding the swell 🏄 Stand in the middle – feel the raw, mystical energy 3️⃣ Rabat Old Market No pushy vendors! Just authentic crafts & leather bags (great for bargaining!) Evening vintage jewelry stalls ✨ 🏡 Stay Like a Local Airbnb: Chambre Andalousie Host family treated me to mint tea 🍵 Their kid gifted me toys – pure warmth! 💡 Why Rabat Wins: ✔️ Few tourists (blissfully quiet!) ✔️ Cheaper & cleaner than Casablanca ✔️ Coastal magic – where history meets the sea #RabatLove 💙 #HiddenGems ✨ #MoroccoUnseen 🇲🇦
