Nice-Rabat flight, from sea to ocean
The Nice-Rabat flight is the perfect choice for anyone looking for a new take on Morocco, off the beaten track. Although it is not among the country’s most publicised tourist destinations, the capital of the Kingdom of Morocco never fails to charm its visitors.
Its charm operates through its history, a surprisingly laid-back way of life for a city of its size, and a modern feel that does not alter its authenticity. You could say that a Nice-Rabat direct flight is not so much a journey as an exploration of the soul of an entire population, one of the most endearing in this part of the world.

What to do in
Rabat ?
Alongside Fez, Marrakesh and Meknes, Rabat is one of Morocco’s four imperial cities. That distinction speaks volumes about the history of the city. The starting point for the Almohad conquest of al-Andalus, it overflows with picturesque settings and special interest sites, some of which are listed UNESCO World Heritage sites.
However, the charm of the Moroccan capital does not just lie in its stone walls and past! Visitors to Rabat are first and foremost won over by its laid-back way of life. This gentle, cheerful city is home to many gardens, boasts vast beaches running alongside the Atlantic ocean, and delights its guests with a day-to-day life bursting with flavours, scents and colours.

Authentic Morocco
See more See lessWhether you come as a couple, with friends or family, Rabat is an ideal destination for anyone looking to make memories and explore. It manages to perfectly combine intense moments and relaxing breaks. A lazy day by the ocean is a must, especially as the coastline here is said to have some of the country’s most beautiful beaches. And the following day, leave the ocean waves and dip your toe into... culture.
Culture here takes on many forms, and exists in two tenses, past and present. On the one hand, the past... In the museums, outstanding sites and monuments that tell of prehistoric times, the Arab conquests and French rule. On the other hand, the present... You can see it pulsing through the streets and alleyways of the medina, on the stands at the souk, in the discreet atmosphere of a Turkish baths, in restaurant kitchens, in the smiles of local residents, and during one of the many music festivals the city is known for.
As refined as it is down-to-earth, an equal mix of traditions and modernity, Rabat offers you one of the most beautiful visions of the Kingdom of Mohammed VI and his subjects. Proof if needed: several years ago, the famous American TV channel CNN named Rabat one of the best tourist destinations in the world.

The top 10 things to do in and around Rabat
See more See less- Follow your guide... Treat yourself to a guided tour of the Kasbah of the Udayas, the first settlement in Rabat, and fall in love with its quiet, colourful and picturesque alleyways.
- Discover Hassan Tower, symbol of the city, the only part of what was intended to be the world’s largest mosque in the 12th century. Pay homage to the father of the Moroccan nation by visiting the Mausoleum of Mohammed V.

The first takes you on a journey through time, from prehistoric times to the Muslim era, while the second showcases some 400 Moroccan artists from the 20th and 21st centuries.
- Give in to temptation... While the city’s elegant avenues play host to the big international brands, the souk is a showcase for local craftsmanship: leatherworking, embroidery, basketwork, jewellery, and more.
- Bask in the local climate, cooled by the ocean breeze, by taking a stroll through the city’s many parks and gardens, including Ibn Sina park, the “lungs of the city”, and the Botanical Gardens, a legacy of the French protectorate.
