Our Visit to Rabat, the Capital City of Morocco

Train travel in Morocco is really easy.  Too bad the air conditioning in the first class compartments wasn’t working today.

So we made it to Rabat a bit sweaty.

Rabat is different than Fes or Meknes.  It is quite a bit less touristy.  Because it is the Moroccan capital city, there were quite a few protests going on while we were here.  We have a general rule – if we see protesters or (like today) police in riot helmets with batons drawn running down the street towards a group of protesters, we turn and go another direction.

I opted to leave rather than take photos.

I did, however, take photos earlier in the day at the Kasbah:

And at the cemetery:

And when hubby purchased a new (that would be new for us) adapter for the laptop in the old souks:

We always carry the Lonely Planet Morocco Travel Guide.

Have you been to the capital city of Rabat?
