Rabat, the capital of Morocco, is a modern city with a historic old town that is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Rabat, the capital of Morocco, is a coastal city on the Atlantic Ocean, humid and cool in summer. Rabat can be reached by train from Marrakech and Casablanca. The main street in Rabat is called Mohammed V Avenue, with tall tropical plants providing shade, office buildings, and beautiful old post offices and communication buildings. The citizens dress fashionably and have an urban style. The train station (Figure 8) is very modern, with trams shuttling along the streets and cafes on the side of the road. The old city can be reached on foot from the city center, and at the end of the walk, you can see the sea and the lighthouse. In the old city, you can see ancient Arab architecture and mosques, and residents still maintain a strong medieval way of life. In 2012, Rabat was selected as a World Heritage Site, including the old city and the new city designed and built during the French protectorate from 1912 to 1930. The mausoleum of Mohammed V in Rabat was built in the mid-20th century, with a majestic and elegant architectural style. The ruins of Chellah are the remains of the royal tombs of the Marinid dynasty in Morocco, where the outer walls, mosques, and minarets built during the Merinid dynasty can still be faintly seen. There are good hotels and restaurants in the center of Rabat, and many places are marked in English. We took the train from Marrakech to Rabat and should get off at GARE RABAT VILLE. As we approached, we saw the words RABAT AGDAL on the platform and hurriedly got off. After asking, we found out that it was not far from the Rabat city center train station GARE RABAT VILLE. We took a taxi to the hotel without any trouble. Two days in Rabat is enough, walking for sightseeing within the city and taking a taxi for longer distances is very convenient.
