Rabat Travel Guide

The city is located on the Atlantic Ocean at the mouth of the river Bou Regreg. On the facing shore of the river lies Salé, Rabat's bedroom community. Tourism and the presence of all foreign embassies serve to make Rabat the second most important city in the country.

Hotel Bou Regreg

Good, moderate-priced accommodations are hard to find in Rabat, and while this hotel isn’t perfect, there are still a few good points to focus on. The hotel is in a great location for exploring the medina, and is within walking distance to the Hassan Tower and Mausoleum of Mohammed V. A secure car park at the rear is a bonus for self-drivers.

Some of the rooms have recently been renovated and offer modern bathrooms and balconies, while others are a bit smaller with dated furnishings. However, the hotel is located on an extremely busy corner — it’s one of the city’s main grand taxi terminals — and the outside facing rooms are subject to incessant car and street noise. There’s a ground-floor restaurant, which I don’t recommended, and separate bar, both of which look onto a central, covered courtyard, where there’s live Moroccan music most nights.
