    • By train

      Rabat is well served by train and you can get frequent connections to most places. [wiki=7df2f9bd104c74caafaab1b5767d6f43]Marrakesh[/wiki] is a pleasant 4 hour journey, [wiki=9cd81bc40b0b095de9d29cbaffeb6ee3]Fez[/wiki] 2.5 hours (if you take one of the new express trains, and 3.5 hours on other trains) and [wiki=adf20488d00fb576b16546b1c93611b4]Casablanca[/wiki] 1 hour. There are two stations in (Medina/Downtown) and Agdal. A tram and a taxi station are located just next to the downtown train station. Be warned that trains are sometimes delayed by over an hour. Visit OCNF website ([url=http://www.oncf.ma]ocnf[/url] for the timetable.)

    • By bus

      It's possible to get a bus from almost any town in the country to Rabat. Note, however, that the buses often do not stop at the central bus station, but instead go through the city. It may be a good idea to ask someone which is the correct stop, or use a decent street map to work out where you are. It is easy to miss the main stop and find yourself heading out into the suburbs again, which is not too bad - about a 20-25 MAD ride in to downtown.

    • By plane

      The Rabat International Airport is in the nearby town of Salé. The sole brand new Terminal building was inaugurated by the King of Morocco in 2012, doubling the airport's passenger handling capacity. Services provided include currency exchange and car rental, along with a friendly information desk. Expect a wait in the Passport Control check either way and be prepared to fill out a registration form before.
      Main airline users include Royal Air Maroc (Brussels, Paris-Orly, London-Gatwick, Madrid, Marseille) and budget Ryanair (Beauvais, Charleroi, Girona, London-Stansted, Madrid, Marseille, Rome-Ciampino).
      The airport is served by a dedicated Stareo Bus that offers a direct connection (approx. 40 min / costs 20 dirham one way) to the city center, just outside of Rabat Ville Train Station / Mohammed V Tramway Station. Buses leave the airport 1 hour after each arrival and the city center 2 hours before each flight (a schedule is posted on the bus stop).

  • filter_dramaGet around
    Tram: There are two lines between Rabat and Salé.
    It costs only 6 MAD for one use and it works from 6am to 11 pm from Monday to Sunday. There is a tram every 10 minutes during the week and every 20 minutes during Sunday. One of the stations is located exactly just in front of the downtown train station (Gare de Rabat-Ville). It is a good way of getting around. Maps are available in every station.

    * Petit Taxis: All blue in color, mostly Fiat UNO and Renault DACIAS. This inexpensive way to get around town usually won't exceed 25/30 MAD, the minimum fare is 5/6 MAD. Be sure to check the meter is running to avoid being over charged at the end of the trip, although this is much less of a problem than in other cities. Don't be surprised if the taxi stops to pick someone else up.

    * Grand Taxis: Avoid the white Mercedes Grand Taxis when traveling around Rabat: They are much more expensive and less safe than blue petit taxis.

    * Buses: There are now official bus routes listed and bus stops have signs showing at least the bus ligns that stop there. Costing only 4.00 MAD they are a cheap way to get to know the several layers of Rabat. The buses can be of very variable quality, but it could be worth taking the chance given the cost-saving and experience of what many locals with low income experience. Bus # 4 goes from Ocean, to Bab El Had to Avenue Fal Oueld Omair (one of the major streets in the Agdal neighborhood) all the way to its terminus in the upscale and calm new development of Hay Riad. If the bus is crowded watch out for pickpockets.

    * Car: Driving around yourself is not recommended. Insurance rates are high and most drivers will avoid hitting you at all costs; however, Morocco does have the second highest rate of car accidents in the world, and most drivers do not abide by the traffic laws. Driving doesn't necessarily mean you are going to have an accident but Moroccans recommend great caution when driving in Morocco.

    * Walking: If you aren't in a hurry, walking around the area of Centre Ville, Agdal, The University, the Medina, the Ocean/River and the monuments is easy and pleasant. The new Corniche on the river, leading to the Oudaias, has recently been re-done, and there are expected openings of cafes soon. The route cotiere, or coastal road, past the cemetery and the Oudaias has dramatic ocean-side views, especially charming at sunset.
  • filter_dramaSee
    Kasbah of the Oudaias, the picturesque medieval Almohadan fortress citadel, with commanding ocean views from the acropolis and refreshing Andalusian gardens on it's base.

    *Hassan Tower and the Royal Mausoleum, with the Royal Guards (Tower is currently under renovation. As of December 2015 scaffolding is still covering the tower as they renovate and clean it).

    *Old Medina, with it's various street markets (souqs). The side street leading to the Kasbah (Rue des Consuls) is full of history and traditional shops. The Tourist Police is also stationed there.

    *Chellah - old city founded by Carthaginians, conquered by Romans and later passed under Arab rule, just to be abandoned and settled again by unbelievable numbers of birds, namely storks. This breeding ground bubbles with bird life in spring, including stork nest on the top of old minaret. Also, historical layers are visible, with outstanding Roman and Moroccan parts. You can walk there from centre-ville, but it's a long walk. Admission is 10 MAD and it's open until 5:30 PM.

    *National Archaeological Museum

    *Bank Al Maghrib Museum (Currently under renovation, no admittance)

    *The Beach and the cornice around the Casbah, offering great photo ops to the citadel.

    *Royal Palace : It's pretty huge, you can't really visit it (but it's a nice walk !), the armed guards might allow you walk from one entrance to another especially if you look like a tourist.

    *Modern Art Museum: It is across from the trainstation, and has new exhibitions frequently. Well worth a walk through
  • filter_dramaDo
    There are many things to do here, as with most Moroccan cities it is enough just to wander around and adventure where something takes your fancy

    In the Kasbah (Oudaia) there is an amazing cafe that looks over the sea, where you can drink mint tea and eat sugary treats. The staff are very friendly and you can stay as long as you like soaking up the atmosphere.

    There is also a large and tranquil park next to the Hotel Sofitel, where people run and play football etc. You can also use the pool at the Sofitel for a charge. The park is a 10-15 Dirham taxi ride (10 minutes) from la gare central.

    *Head to Oudayes Surf Club along the beach and try out some surfing. Oudayes beach by the Kasbah has a continuous set of small waves, which is perfect for beginners and children. Board rentals with wetsuit and instruction are 150MAD for 1.5 hours.

    * Theatre in Downtown Rabat, nothing absolutely outstanding but there are performances each month.

    * Mawazine is a festival of world music that takes place annually in Rabat featuring Arab, African and international music icons during May. It is controversial as some of the country's Muslim politicians have criticised the event for "encouraging immoral behaviour". Artists such as Stevie Wonder, Carlos Santana, Elton John or B.B. King have performed at Mawazine. There are various scenes around the city.

    * Amnesia 18, Rue Monastir, Downtown Rabat. If you like clubbing then dress up, this is the hippest club in Rabat.
  • filter_dramaBuy
    Rue des Consuls an interesting place to wander. This street is so named because étangers diplomats were required to reside there until 1912. At that time the main activity of the area was piracy and taking slaves. These were auctioned . Under a treaty with the Sultan, they were to be redeemed by diplomats from their countries who then had a budget for such purchases. For convenience, these diplomats were thus a few tens of meters from the place of "negotiation". This street was already very active one of the few to be paved. Louis Chenier, the father of the poet Andre Chenier was there representing the King of France from 1768 to 1781. Trading in the redemption of captives was his main activity and he excelled so much that even the Sultan, exhausted, sent him back to France by military force. From the Rue des Consuls, opens a number of alleys housing small shops, enabling craftsmen to maintain their expertise and their art, in often difficult circumstances.

    *Although the medina here is not as extensive as that of Fez or Marrakesh there are still some bargains to be had. You will find the normal array of babouche shoes, baggy pants, ornate mirrors and plates etc! Interestingly all the Moroccans can be found in the section of the market that sells imported western style clothing from Asia and all the tourists can be found in the 'traditional' section. The lovely woolen paunchos are well worth a look and the carpet shops near the end of the medina are also very nice.

    *MegaMall : One modern mall with shops and a food court. There is also bowling and an ice rink should you feel like getting active.

    *Agdal has a lovely assortment of shops along the streets including Mango, Strativarius, Aldo and Jules.

    *Oujda is a small government subsidized pottery district across the river by Sale. They supply a lot of the souks and markets in many cities with pottery, and this is a great chance to see them work the kiln and get the pottery from the source. Very reasonable prices, and many vendors to choose from!

    *Rabat has excellent woodwork. Shops near Rue de Consuls and outside along the wall of the Medina in that area carry a fantastic selection of carved wood and furniture.

    Most budget accommodation is found in the Old Medina of Rabat. Walking on Mohammed V street, you’ll see a lot of signs pointing to hotels. On some days these fill up quickly, so it’s good to be early. A double room will set you back about 120-150 Dh.

    * A worn-down hostel on the edge of the medina walls. Four large dorm rooms with 16 bunks each ensure that groups large and small can bunk down here. With peeling paint and some rather noxious odors in the bathroom, the place is past its prime and not a great value. A 10 minute walk from the train station. Breakfast is included.

    NOTE The website frequently says this hostel is full when it it not, it is very big so turning up on the day you are likely to get a bed regardless of what the website or hostelworld say.
    * Hotel Splendide in the Ville Nouvelle, an easy walk from the train station. Large rooms and big windows, lots of light, around a central courtyard. Quiet and clean. They offer meals which are just food from the place across the street brought across on a tray. The shared bathrooms are generally clean. 100dh / night. Showers 10dh, hot water only after p.m.

    * Hotel de la Paix in the Ville Nouvelle. Dingy and dank. 150 dh. Warning: If you don't get a room with an in suite shower, you don't get to take one at all.
    *Bright room with shower and sink, toilet outside. 10 minutes walk to Medina. 2 minutes walk from Rabat Ville Train Station. Next to main street Ave. Mohammed V.

    *192 rooms located on the banks of the Bourgreg river. Practically within the city centre, next to some of the most recognized monuments within Rabat: the Hassan Tower, and the mausoleum of the late King Mohamed V. Warning It's located next to an extremely noisy area of the city

    *5 star hotel located close to the Royal Palace and a park, considered by some the best (and one of the most expensive) hotel in the city

    *Set in an exotic orange grove hidden away from the hustle and bustle of the city, quite expensive .

    *Excellent location just off the main street Mohammed V, 6 min walk from the Rabat Ville Gare train station and just around the corner to the medina. 240Dh for a double room with private bathroom and balcony(Dec 2013). Clean room with hot water, free wifi in reception and the courtyard.
    *Perhaps the cheapest option in medina, fully exposed to a noisy street below. Doubles for 100Dh per night. Pink walls, sink in the room, shared toilet and hot shower for additional 10Dh. Stayed there two times, seems to be a safe place. The manager is helpful, leaving baggage is not a problem.
  • filter_dramaStay safe
    Rabat is considered a safe city. Just use some common sense: avoid wearing expensive jewelry or looking flashy, do not flash large quantities of cash, and avoid unfamiliar and deserted areas at night. If you walk in the crowded streets of the Medina or use a bus, keep a hand on your pockets. Women should avoid low-cut tops, midriffs, or shorts to avoid harassment (which almost always consists of comments, but nothing physical) although this is less of a problem than in other cities. Don't feel the need to be polite--no Moroccan woman would put up with behaviour like that.

    • Contact

      Rabat is served by all of the mobile companies that can be found elsewhere in Morocco. Wana, Meditel, and Maroc Telecom are the most common. Mobile phones can be bought in any of these store's stands, and most do not run on calling plans. Rather, recharge cards can be bought in corner stores that contain a number to call. When that number is called, the company adds the price of the card to your account's balance. Alternatively, more than one SIM card can be bought and changed in and out of the phone, if users need more than one phone number.

    • Internet

      Internet cafes : Internet access is available in cyber cafes around the city (not in residential neighborhoods though). Service is usually around 1€ per hour.

      *Wifi : You'll find wifi access in a some places such as Bert's or Megamall food court, usually those labelled a bit "trendy". There is also free WiFi at the Rabat-Ville train station.

Founded in antiquity as a Phoenician colony, it became a haven for pirates as an independent republic before being incorporated into Morocco. Modern Salé is a more polluted than Rabat, badly planned, and rapidly expanding town because of an important rural exodus. The city is now a large "dormitory town". Most of its influential and wealthy inhabitants moved to Rabat on the other side of the river. There is a bridge, a tram line and a boat(2 Dhs) between the two cities.

However, poverty prevalent in slums on the city's outskirts and an extremely important rural exodus has led to high rates of crime, drug use, prostitution and the rise of Islamism. Casablanca is a mixed bag of Moroccan extremes.
