Small Boutique hotels in RABAT

The city of Rabat, which in Arabic means fortress, is today an attractive hodgepodge of modernity and tradition. Capital of Morocco, located on the Atlantic coast, an intense social and commercial life beats in its old medina with intricate streets. In the souks you will find their typical leather crafts or rugs. Walled on three of its sides, the more than 5 km long comprise the Walls of the Andalusians and the Almhoades. Due to its historical value, it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

In the seductive Kasbah of the Oudayas, a walled compound with whitewashed houses and bright indigo blue, there is the oldest mosque in Rabat, from the 12th century.

The Andalusí Garden is a delicious place, with its fountains and water axes. The Hassan Tower, a vestige of the ancient 12th-century mosque, and the 200 columns of its surroundings, are all a symbol. Next door, the Mohammed V Mausoleum stands as a family pantheon for the Alawites. A picture of great beauty is to contemplate the Muslim cemetery of the Martyrs, with the ocean in the background. Behind are the beach and the lighthouse of Rabat.

On the banks of the Bu Regreg river, which flows into Rabat, Chellah extends, with notable Roman ruins inside an Arab fortification. You will be able to stay in magnificent riads -the traditional Moroccan house with a central patio-, converted into charming boutique hotels.
