🇲🇦 Rabat｜North Africa’s Forgotten Gem 💎

Many travelers see Rabat as a fallen jewel of North Africa—deeply beautiful, yet often overlooked. Ask 10 people about Morocco’s capital, and 8 will likely say Casablanca. But Rabat is the true capital, a coastal haven with eternal spring. 🌊🌿 While tourists treat it as a transit stop, Rabat hides ancient wonders: royal mausoleums, mosques, palaces, and the iconic Kasbah of the Udayas. Unlike Marrakech or Fez, it’s quietly majestic—where cars yield to pedestrians, and shopkeepers greet you with warmth. ✨ Highlights 🏰 Kasbah of the Udayas Once a yellow town, now painted blue (thanks to Chefchaouen’s trend!). Bonus: A cliffside ex-Portuguese prison-turned-restaurant with epic ocean views. ⚱️ Ancient Ruins & Royal Splendor Mausoleum of Mohammed V (glittering interiors ✨). Hassan Tower (a lone, poetic minaret). Chellah Necropolis (Roman + Islamic ruins under stork nests 🦢). #Rabat #Morocco #HiddenGems #SlowTravel #CulturalWonders
