What makes Rabat special is not so much the old city of Medina, but the coastal district as beautiful as the Kasbah des Oudaias is rarely encountered. Narrow cobblestone roads lead past blue-and-white houses with mosaiced doors and stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean. The Kasbah des Oudaias also houses the oldest mosque in Morocco.
From the Kasbah des Oudaias you can go through the Andalusian gardens to Le Tour Hassan, the famous tower of Rabat. This tower would one day become the tallest minaret, but Sultan Al-Mansour died before the minaret was finished. Opposite the tower is the Royal Mausoleum. The kings of Morocco are buried here, including Mohammed V. His final resting place is still guarded by traditionally dressed guards of the royal guard. Le Tour Hassan is located on the Bou Regreg River. This river separates Rabat from Sale.
While Rabat has many impressive monuments and sites to see, the most beautiful are the Chellah Gardens that are open daily to the public. In the springtime, the flowers inside the garden are blooming with colors and heavenly scents. Chellah was officially built by the Romans around the XIV Century and was known at the time as Sala Colonia.
Climate Tangier
Rabat has a Mediterranean climate. The summers are warm and dry and in the winter you have a mild temperature and the most rain falls. The average annual temperature is 23 degrees. Despite the fact that it can be very hot in the summer months, the dry air makes it bearable.
