Rabat is a cultural city with a rich history,it's streets and public squares are full of masterpieces and the palm-lined boulevards are clean, well kept and relatively free of traffic. There's a clean central beach, an intact and evocative kasbah, and an attractive walled medina and a well-developed ocean front with miles of improved beaches that run along the Atlantic coast all the way to the neighbouring Casablanca.
