RABAT, MOROCCO: Why This City Must Be On Your Moroccan Holiday List

In episode 2 of our Morocco vlog we travel to Rabat, en route to the Blue City of Chefchaouen. We tour Kasbah of the Udayas (Rabat castle), explore Hassan Tour's unfinished minaret & mosque, and visit the Mausoleum of Mohammed V, the final resting place of some of Morocco's most revered Kings. Rabat is Morocco's capital city, but is often overlooked by tourists. It is definitely worth visiting!

After our journey from Casablanca to Rabat, we travel through the agriculturally rich plains of northern Morocco, up into the Rif Mountain range, before arriving in the"Blue Pearl" of Morocco, Chefchaouen. Don't miss out on our incredible accommodation in Chefchaouen - it's beauty brought Lydia to tears.

Whether you are planning your next adventure, or just curious about Morocco, we hope that this guide gives you a taste of what makes Rabat a "must see" destination.

🌍 Hi, we're Lydia & Chris, the Roving Balys!

🌍As an empty nest couple from Newcastle, Australia, we've traveled the world together for 30 years. We started this vlog to share our travel tales and showcase our beautiful region. We met traveling around Europe in 1995 and have since visited 50+ countries. We love discovering new places, meeting people, and trying local cuisines (including gluten-free options).Our journey has evolved from backpacking to family travel, and now back to couple adventures. With the kids doing their own thing, we're ready to dust off our backpacks (now suitcases) and start new adventures. So grab a cup of coffee and come roving with us!

New subscriber. Morocco has the best oranges in the world sweet and juicy; the juice you’re drinking it’s freshly squeezed 100% nothing added to it. Next time ask them to let you video the process of squeezing oranges it’s not even a minute.
Welcome to Morocco 🇲🇦 first time I see you Chanel. ❤👍❤️

[cynthia.h.trimmer]

I totally agree with you, the orange juice in Morocco was the BEST I’ve ever tasted!
