RABAT, Morocco named one of the top travel destinations for 2013

Morocco’s elegant capital city of Rabat was designated a new UNESCO World Heritage Site this past July.

This means word is just starting to get out about what the UNESCO folks call Rabat’s “fertile exchange between the Arabo-Muslim past and Western modernism.”

Exhibit A: the historic old town featuring the magnificent twelfth-century Hassan Mosque and a picturesque medina overlooking the Atlantic with largely hassle-free shopping.

Exhibit B: Rabat’s charming French-built new town with wide boulevards and lovely cafes.

A shiny new tramway links the capital to its sister city Salé, while a new airport terminal means the city has become much more accessible. Rabat (area population 1.7 million) is hitting the proverbial travel radar, but it’s far from overrun — that makes 2013 the year to be there now.morocco culture,moroccan food,morocco food,moroccan cuisine,morocco beaches,moroccan meal,beaches in morocco,moroccan culture,hercules cave,hercules cave morocco
