Rabat

Morocco’s capital makes for an exciting city-break destination. It’s just a quick hop over the Gibraltar Strait from Europe, but it’s vastly more exotic. Rabat, an ancient walled city, is full of UNESCO-protected sites, jaw-dropping architecture and colourful Medinas, yet it’s still vastly more relaxed than Marrakesh or Casablanca. Find cheap flights to Rabat and discover Morocco in 2024 / 2025.

Located eight kilometres north-east of Rabat, the international airport is a joint military and public-use airport. The bright and modern single-terminal airport was inaugurated in 2012 and features contemporary Islamic art on its facade. There are no direct flights to Rabat from the United Kingdom (UK), but return flights with just one stopover are widely available.

Getting to the City from Rabat–Salé Airport RBA

Why Visit Rabat?

With a charming 12th-century Medina perched dramatically near the Atlantic Ocean, powerful Islamic architecture, tree-lined avenues, exotic gardens and beautiful beaches, Rabat is a captivating blend of the ancient, modern and naturally spectacular. Highlights include the majestic 44-metre Hassan Tower that’s surrounded by exotic plants and historic ruins and the collection of impressive stone entranceways to the Kasbah.
Getting lost while browsing the stalls in the Medina is a quintessential Rabat experience as is sipping mint tea in one of the trendy restaurants of the Agdal district. The 2014 Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art is one of the city’s pioneering cultural venues, while the Rabat Archaeological Museum is a must see for history buffs. Head over the river to explore Rabat’s lovely sister city, Salé, or discover the wild and beautiful coast that stretches to the north and south of the city. Wind up a day of sightseeing at a rooftop restaurant dining on aromatic North African dishes.

Don't Forget Before you Fly

However, travellers are advised to ensure that their passports aren’t damaged and are stamped upon entry to avoid any issues. The Moroccan dirham is available at ATMs and money exchange services within the airport.
