Luxury Rabat Tours
Rabat, the charming capital of Morocco, was granted its UNESCO Heritage site status in 2012. Standing at the confluence of the Bouregreg River and the Atlantic, this pleasant coastal metropolis is an elegant fusion of medieval Islamic heritage and a French colonial legacy. The old city’s Berber fort (incidentally, ‘Rabat’ comes from the Arabic term for ‘fortified place’), encircled by colonial era landscaped French gardens, is perhaps the perfect representation of this graceful cultural blend. The city’s other iconic landmark is the 12th century Hassan Tower. Caliph Yaqub al Mansour, who had built much of Rabat in the 12 century, had started to build what was then the world’s largest mosque. It remained unfinished upon his death, and the unfinished minaret or the Hassan Tower still bears testimony to his ambitions.
