Walk the Kasbah des Oudayas

Walking the Kasbah des Oudayas is one of Rabat’s most atmospheric experiences, beginning at the monumental Bab Oudaia and continuing through blue-and-white lanes that feel distinct from the wider capital. The route leads toward the Andalusian Gardens and the overlooks above the Bou Regreg and Atlantic, making it ideal for slow photography, quiet wandering, and a first understanding of Rabat’s layered coastal history. Most visitors explore independently, allowing time to pause at viewpoints and connect the kasbah with the nearby Medina.
