Why Morocco
Why British travellers love Morocco.
British 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.
Getting there

Time difference
Rabat is about 1 hour ahead of United Kingdom (Morocco stays on UTC+1 year-round), which makes for an easy, eastward adjustment.
When to go
The best time to visit.
March–May and September–November are ideal for Rabat — warm, breezy days off the Atlantic, cool evenings, and the best light over the Kasbah of the Udayas, Hassan Tower and the Chellah gardens. Summers are pleasantly tempered by the ocean; winters are mild and quiet, perfect for the museums and ramparts.
