Rabat, Morocco’s political and administrative capital, rests along the shores of the Bouregreg River and the Atlantic Ocean. It may be short on top-drawer tourist attractions, but it compensates with plenty of charm. The ville nouvelle’s palm-lined boulevards are clean, well kept and relatively free of traffic. All in all, the city is a good choice for a short sojourn.
