Culinary culture

Fassi cuisine is among Morocco’s most refined, blending sweet and savoury flavours with delicate spices. Savour slow-cooked tagines, pastilla, and fragrant couscous served in elegant riads or hidden courtyard restaurants, often accompanied by mint tea and traditional pastries.

Good to know

The currency is the Moroccan dirham (MAD). Fes is best explored on foot within the medina, while taxis are useful for reaching newer districts. Spring and autumn offer pleasant temperatures for exploration, while summer can be warm and winter evenings cooler.

Perched along the Atlantic coast, Rabat is Morocco’s refined and understated capital, offering a sophisticated mix of history, modernity, and coastal charm. Unlike the bustling medinas of Marrakech or Fes, Rabat is calm and spacious, making it ideal for travellers seeking culture, history, and a relaxed city atmosphere.

• Bouregreg Marina: Take a stroll along the waterfront or enjoy a boat trip on the Bouregreg River for a fresh perspective of the city.

Culinary culture:

Rabat’s cuisine is a refined take on Moroccan tradition. Try tagine with fresh seafood, given its coastal location, or couscous with seasonal vegetables and lamb. Don’t miss sampling pastilla, a sweet and savoury pastry, and street-side mint tea with Moroccan pastries.

Dive deeper:

Explore Rabat by bike or on foot to appreciate its blend of colonial French architecture, wide boulevards, and serene public gardens. Visit local art galleries and museums, such as the Mohammed VI Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, to see the city’s contemporary cultural side.

Good to know:

Rabat enjoys a temperate Atlantic climate year-round, perfect for leisurely exploration. French and Arabic are widely spoken, and taxis make getting around easy. The city offers a calmer introduction to Morocco, ideal for travellers who want culture and history without the hustle of larger cities.
