The Medina or the old city of Rabat features ancient and modern architecture. It is not just a tourist destination but an experience in itself, especially if you opt to walk around the medina to explore it. You can find many places ranging from traditional cafés and shops. The footwear bazaar has a great line of leather bags, footwear, and wallets at bargain rates. The local craft shops have embroidered fabric and Berber carpets.
The medina was the only part in existence in Rabat when the French came to Rabat in 1912. The medina was created by Andalusian Muslim refugees who had escaped from Spain from their hometown of Badajoz. Since then, the town has only grown and evolved. Besides the usual souvenirs, do not forget to try the mentha leaves, through which you can make easy and affordable Moroccan vodka or mentha tea. Not only can you experience the day-to-day lifestyle of the locals, but also discover hidden gems in the hustle and bustle of the streets.
