Why Morocco
Why UAE travellers love Morocco.
UAE travellers come to Rabat for its calm and its culture: the UNESCO-listed capital pairs the Kasbah of the Udayas, Hassan Tower and the ruins of Chellah with a relaxed Atlantic seafront — and its train station puts Fes, Casablanca and Marrakech within easy reach, so a private trip turns a long-held dream into an easy, well-run reality.
