Why Rent a Car in Rabat?
Rabat is Morocco’s most liveable and least-touristy major city — wide tree-lined boulevards, a walled medina without the chaos of Fes or Marrakech, and stunning Atlantic beaches just minutes from the city centre. A car is essential for exploring the full Rabat region.
- Visit Chellah necropolis — haunting Roman and Merinid ruins within the city walls, home to nesting storks
- Explore Kasbah des Oudaias — the blue-and-white clifftop kasbah overlooking the Atlantic and the Bouregreg river
- Walk the Hassan Tower — the unfinished 12th-century minaret that was to be the world’s tallest mosque tower
- Drive to Salé — Rabat’s twin city across the river, with a magnificent medieval medina and souks
- Beach drive to Plage de Rabat and Plage des Nations — Atlantic surf beaches north of the city
- Day trip to Meknes — imperial city just 1.5 hours east on the A2 motorway
