Royal capital
Rabat
The city, in a breath
Where the Kingdom is governed.
Rabat is the political and diplomatic capital — quieter than Casablanca, more elegant. The Royal Palace, the Mausoleum of Mohammed V, the medina, the Atlantic shore at the mouth of the Bouregreg.
Stays in Rabat are typically diplomatic or family-related — composed accordingly, with full security if the brief requires it.

Maison advice
A working capital.
Rabat is best as a one-or-two-night stop for a specific purpose — a meeting, a family visit, a state dinner.
All year
Mediterranean
Pleasant in all seasons; never as hot as Marrakech.
Stay
Two nights
Two is sufficient for the city itself.
