MORE INFO
Rabat is one of Morocco’s most comfortable cities for longer stays. As the capital, it has embassies, government services, universities, clean avenues, coastal air, and a calmer rhythm than Casablanca or Marrakech. It is not the cheapest Moroccan city, but it is more orderly and easier to live in than many alternatives. Remote workers can find solid internet, cafes, and quiet neighborhoods, while still having access to beaches, medina life, and quick train connections to Casablanca.
