The zoo is a must-do for families and people of all ages. Don't miss the amazing bird and seal shows.

You will be surprised by the straight layout of the city's historical heart in sharp contrast to the usual maze of streets. A walk through Rabat's medina could look like this: start your visit at the Bab El Had gate and take Souika Street, the largest and probably busiest street in the medina. You will arrive in the Es Sabat souk, the shoe market, covered with reed mats and overflowing with babouches (leather slippers) as well as silver and gold jewellery. You then come to the partially glass-roofed Rue des Consuls where craftsmen make woollen carpets, fabrics and copperware. The medina also offers low-priced and local food, so do not hesitate to try mint tea, pastillas or tagine.

The Memphis Rock 'n' Soul Museum isn’t just about music—it’s about the people who made it. The exhibits dive into the stories of the musicians who broke barriers and shaped rock and soul, pushing through racial and social struggles to change popular culture forever. It’s a solid stop for anyone who wants to understand how Memphis became a music powerhouse.

The small Don Quixote Museum houses a interesting mix of exhibits centred around Cervantes' masterpiece, which takes place in La Mancha and the area around Ciudad Real. Highlights include some 19th century illustrations depicting Don Quijote, as well as the library, which contains over 3,500 titles.
