Médina de Rabat
The capital's historic center
About this site
An integral part of Rabat's UNESCO listing since 2012 alongside the Kasbah of the Oudayas and the Hassan Tower, the medina preserves a traditional urban fabric combining souks, the Street of the Consuls and old houses. Smaller than those of Fès or Marrakech, it offers a calmer immersion, echoing the generally composed character of the Moroccan capital.
