Rabat Holidays

Sitting on the Atlantic coastal plain Morocco's capital, Rabat, is a modern city with wide boulevards, gardens and white buildings.  A far cry from the hectic warrens of the other Imperial cities of Marrakech and Fes, but no less steeped in history with its origins going back to the 7th Century.

The enchanted city is home to many historic monuments and has some superbly preserved relics of its Moorish past. 

A must-see is the Mausoleum of Mohammed V, which was completed in 1971 and contains the tombs of the late Moroccan king and his two sons. Get a taste of a Moroccan medina with a visit to the Oudaya Kasbah, built in the 16th and 17th centuries on ancient foundations and relax in the gardens. Travel outside the city walls to see the ancient city of Sala, the first city in Morocco to be built by the Berbers.

We have handpicked Villa Mandarine with its stunning gardens and Sofitel Rabat Jardin des Roses for A&K's Rabat holidays. This is a great destination to twin with Fes so that visits to Voloubilis and Meknes can be enjoyed.
