RabatMorocco's capital. UNESCO heritage. World Cup 2030.
Rabat is Morocco's political capital and one of its four Imperial Cities. The Moulay Abdallah Stadium — Morocco's national team home — hosts FIFA 2030 matches after major renovation. A quieter, more laid-back alternative to Casablanca with excellent cultural attractions and easy connections to all other host cities.

Best areas for World Cup fans
Medina (Old Town)
AuthenticRabat's medina is smaller and less touristy than Marrakech or Fez — a more authentic and relaxed experience. Walk to the Kasbah of the Udayas.
Agdal

Hassan
CulturalNear the Hassan Tower and Mohammed V Mausoleum. Good mid-range hotels in a culturally rich area.
Souissi
PremiumUpscale residential area. Quieter, premium villa and guesthouse options.
Transport
Rabat has a modern tram network (two lines) connecting the main areas including the medina, Agdal and the railway station. Petit taxis are cheap and frequent. Rabat and its sister city Salé are connected by tram across the Bouregreg river.
Getting here
Rabat-Salé Airport (RBA) has limited international connections — most fans will fly into Casablanca (CMN, 45 minutes away) and take the train. The Casablanca → Rabat ONCF train runs frequently and takes 1 hour. The Al Boraq high-speed train from Tangier stops in Rabat (1 hour 15 minutes from Tangier).
What to eat
Rabat is less touristy than Marrakech which means better prices and more authentic food. Try: mechoui (slow-roasted lamb) from the medina, harira soup with msemen (flat bread), fresh seafood from the Atlantic coast — the grilled fish restaurants near the Bouregreg estuary are outstanding.
