Travel information
Airport travel guide

The capital, but not the largest nor the most historic city of Morocco, Rabat does not get the same amount of attention from foreign visitors as Fez, Marrakesh, or Casablanca. But give this coastal city a chance and you’ll find plenty of character exemplified by landmarks such as the Rabat Kasbah and Andalusian Gardens, the neighboring Old Medina, and the ancient site of Chellah, as well as a relaxed, timeless atmosphere. The airport is also known as Rabat–Salé Airport after the neighboring city in which it is located.
