What to do in your spare time
Rabat offers many hidden gems as you may get lost in the many maze-like streets of the Medina. During your spare time, you may want to try some amazing homemade street food. You definitely need to check out the Kasbah des Oudaias palace, Hassan Tower, the street of the Consul where you will find many local handmade artifacts, and just take then the beauty of the old architecture and the craftsmanship that has gone into it.
