Capital – Happy Roundtrip

The Medina of Rabat

Are you planning to visit the Medina of Rabat? See our information below!

Information:

The Medina of Rabat is a compact medina where you can shop perfectly. Compared to those in Marrakech or Fes, the Medina in Rabat is surprisingly quiet and orderly.

Today’s Rabat was built outside the Medina, making the Medina an impressive piece of history today.
