An interesting capital city.

Rabat is not always the first city that comes to mind when you think of Morocco, nonetheless the capital of the country is an interesting mix of the old and new and a great city to explore. Located on the meeting point between the river and the ocean, it makes for fantastic views. This is especially true when you head to the Kasbah and explore its winding streets. You'll eventually find yourself on a vantage point with panoramic views. The nearby Medina is also a great place to discover some cool hidden alleyways, while getting a taste of the older side of the city. Closer to the newer part of the city, Hassan tower is an unfinished mosque which is often associated with the city. It's a cool place to walk around and has an almost Egyptian feel to it. Overall, Rabat has much to offer; it's a clean city that is juxtaposed against the older charm of the more ancient parts of the city. I found there were definitely less tourists, which also meant the city was slower in pace and a bit more authentic. All in all, a decent place to explore! #explore #city #travel #rabat #morocco
