Monument · Rabat, Casablanca & Rabat

Kasbah Oudaya

Overlooking the mouth of the Bouregreg, the Kasbah of the Udayas is Rabat's oldest quarter, a walled hilltop of blue-and-white lanes, a grand Almohad gate and Andalusian gardens above the sea. You'll wander the calm alleys to a café terrace where the river meets the Atlantic. Photogenic and serene, it's the loveliest corner of the capital.
