Good to know
Practical notes
- Rabat is one of Morocco's easiest cities for families — calm, clean, with wide pavements and the modern tram.
- The National Zoo is on the city's edge; a short taxi ride gets you there in the cooler morning hours.
- Atlantic beaches here can be breezy with strong currents — choose supervised stretches and bring layers.
