- In this travel vlog I'll show you the real Rabat. The capital city of Morocco is not the biggest on the tourist trail, but certainly has it's charms and was really the biggest surprise of my trip!
I'll show you not just the sights such as the Hassan Tower, Mausoleum of Mohammed V, Chellah, Kasbah des Oudayas, the Parlement of Morocco, St. Peter's Cathedral, the Medina, Rabat beach and the waterfront, but also around the central areas of the city that you're likely to visit as a tourist and some of the great food you can find there.

Probably the most welcoming of all African countries. Food is good too. I felt safe walking around after dark.
Yes, it felt pretty safe to me too. I can’t really compare to elsewhere in Africa though as I’ve barely touched the continent
@@ChrisKermis Morocco is definitely a beautiful country,but I also invite you to visit my country Algeria. You're welcome
@@blogginglife7956 It’s definitely on my list to visit some day!
@@ChrisKermis you're welcome
@@blogginglife7956 I am from Morocco , I did not visit Algeria but my sister did. She said that it is a beautifull country too with too many ressemblances with Morocco. Honestly she was welcomed there ❤️
Rabat is the cleanest capital I've ever seen. A beautiful city with many green areas with an amazing mixture of history and modernity. Thanks for this lovely video.
Thank you!
Have you been to Canberra? Not historic but spotlessly clean and very well planned. It even surprises most Australians
@triarb5790 I’ve never been to Australia, it’s certainly on my list though!
I was in Rabat six months ago as my daughter was living there at the time. It is an absolutely lovely city with generally lovely people. I feel lucky to have been to such a place in North Africa.
You must have had a great experience as your daughter would know the city in a way a visitor wouldn't. Lovely city as you say, I really enjoyed my time there.
❤❤❤welcome
What a great country Morocco is i'll be there next summer
Enjoy your trip!
You are welcome to come my friend
You are welcome to our beautiful country i hope you have a good experience
you’re welcome 🇲🇦❣️
I spent 5 years there in Rabat, I finally graduated and left in 2017, it was a great experience and I have many good memories. I recognized some places which is Avenue Mohamed V where there is train station Gare Rabat ville, Moroccan Parliament, Macdonald, Cyber, Hotel Balima, Studio pictures, la Poste and others, and I also recognized place Al Joulane close to Moroccan national Police.
It's a great city and I'm glad I visited. Thanks for watching!
when u re in the Moroccan kingdom, u know that u re at home : )
As a Moroccan, when I wander in the alleys of Rabat and see the beauty of its buildings and the consistency of its architecture, I evoke the greatness of our ancestors, who were truly great in everything...
I can only imagine how you feel, but I loved Rabat. I can't believe it doesn't get. more attention from tourists visiting Morocco
You're a kind and polite person and Morocco happy to welcome good people like you.
Welcome anytime glad to see you here and Thank you.
Thank you, I'll certainly come back to Morocco some day!
I really wanna visit Morocco " people nice "!!!
Especially the desert it looks like Sahara desert!!!
You should go! It's an amazing place. I did this trip in 2 weeks, it was fast paced but you can see a lot if you don't ming that.
Welcome to Morocco
Sahara desert is within Morocco
@@phoenixbird2078 the Sahara is moroccan my friend
@@phoenixbird2078 Sahara is in Morocco
The Hassan Tower In Rabat, The Koutoubia Mosque in Marrakech and and The Giralda Mosque in Sevilla they are all built by Almohaden dynasty.
Lovely country I wish really visited Rabat and Tangier, thank you for sharing your trip 💚✅
I still need to visit Tangier myself but hope to do so sometime later this year!
Great video and clean city with peaceful people , will add to my top list to visite
I really enjoyed Rabat, great city!
I am happy that you visited my city. I miss it. Greetings from Belgium. Welcome to Morocco
Thank you!
Rabat is by far one the most beautiful cities in Morocco and the most loaded with history as well. It is underrated, though.
I agree. I hope this video shows that in its own way
FES .
CONGRATULATION MORROCO 🇲🇦🇲🇦👑🇺🇸🌹👍🏻
Thank you!
Wonderful city , beautiful country 👍
Absolutely, I really liked Rabat!
Morocco ❤
Unlike Israel, Free Palestine
@@YA-kr4fr realy algerian terrorist
Todaraba brother
i lived in Rabat for 25 years, and trust me this vlog showed some places i never been to nor seen lol
Wow that’s crazy!
I was at Rabat 15 years ago it was a big city and very lovely and unique. With different looking places all over but still à Rabat style.
You should walk around near the city of Rabat also if you don’t know your city. I live in France and yes i also don’t know some places of my city very well.
Rabat is basically divided to three parts:
- old medina (old city 700 years old, includibg Oudaya where pirates lived back in 16 century)
- colonial city (where the train station is)
- New city is what was build after the independance 1956, and this needs transportation to go from place to place.
Personally I love Rabat, it gives good vibes and you can live the history and modern times (talking food, clothes, music…).
That's interesting that pirates used to live in Oudaya! It's a great city and I can't believe it doesn't get more attention as a highlight of Morocco
@@ChrisKermis Hi Chris, those pirates are the direct descendents of all the moorish people expelled from spain in 1492 or later in 1609 (jewish and muslims).
They tried to create their own city under the control of the sultans Saadi or later Alaouite dinasty sultans.
The pirates did even reach the costs of Britain (Island of Lundy in Bristol Channel), Baltimore in West Cork Ireland and even reached Iceland.
Those old houses you visited in the old city (medina) are the same houses where pirates or slaves were living. Same street but today it has electricity and internet 😂
Each corner of my city Rabat can talk about the history that it have seen since the 12th century.
Thank you for you video and Merhba 🙂
Wow I wish I was with you to hear some of the stories when I was there! Thanks for the interesting history
@@ChrisKermis I hope you didn’t miss going inside those old medina houses (Riad), outside it is just a wall without windows and with a small door But inside it has a small garden and beautiful moroccan zellige and wood working, please goolge ”moroccan riad” to see what I mean. Next time maybe 🙂👍🏼
Absolutely! I stayed in a couple of beauties in Marrakech and Fes
I'm from Rabat, you made such a lovely video the city has a unique vibe compared to Marrakech ans Casablanca...Glad you enjoyed the Moroccan food 😊
I loved Rabat, it’s an amazing city! Glad you liked the video I made there
beautiful rabat 😍🇲🇦 amazing video keep going👏
Thank you!
The oudaya’s, i learned surfing here… this place represents all Me from head to toe…😢😢😢
Everything is on Wheels because they move them when cleaning/ washing the Floor...plus it helps to prevent any rust if water gets on them or metal parts...Having a Fridge on Wheels makes sense to me..easier to move...We should do the same..
Absolutely, it makes a lot of sense!
I live in Marrakech but Rabat is way cooler in every way.
It’s very different, overall to me I preferred Rabat but Marrakech certainly has its unique charms
I want to start off by thanking you so much for taking this awesome video about my city. I can't tell you how much I miss it. I feel like going back right now!
However, there were still some places in Rabat like Harhoura, Agdal, Souissi, and some few other places that would have a different look and more to offer.
What I like about Rabat is that it's not as crowded as Casblanca is, and you're right it's super safe, mellow, and adorable.
Of course I can never get to know a city like a local but I hope I can return sometime and discover more!
Beautiful country with rich culture , food for every diet and people are amazing and kind
❤❤❤❤شكرا من المغرب 🇲🇦 طنجة
Thank you! I’ll visit Tangier next time
welcome to my city peace and love
Thank you 🙏🏽
Over all you look really enjoyed yourself in Rabat.
Welcome to Morocco 🇲🇦
It was a real nice surprise, thank you!
@@ChrisKermis try and visit nador it’s in northwest of Morocco 🇲🇦 it’s really interesting town to visit.
A million thanks for this grand tour around Rabat.
Thank you! Glad you liked it!
Just found your channel and I'm really enjoying your series on Morocco as I'm headed there myself in the not too distant future. Eat more food on your channel - as a chef I really enjoy your reactions to great food!
Hey thanks! I’m keeping it as just quick food segments in travel videos on this channel but I started a new channel for pure food content. It’s new, but do check it out if you like: Nosebaggin
14:45 it's actually very smart to move stuffs for cleaning 🧹 and specially the fridge 😜
So I’ve been told since. It seemed funny at the time but now I wish my own fridge was on wheels!
Great video man! I'm glad you enjoyed your time in my country 🇲🇦
Thank you, had a great time and will return!
Great job with the music in the background brother 👍🏼
Thanks 👍
LoL, the wheels have purpose obviously, for the table to easily move it around to wherever it is needed, and for the fridge to make it easy to clean under it once a month or so (the same for the washing machine as well xD)...
Welcome to Morocco everyone ❤🇲🇦
I am from Casablanca, and your beautiful video about Rabat is really amazing. You are not biased , you are positive, and you did well your homework so you visited all the places that I would have recommended to a first timer in Rabat. Thank you for being so generous. And yes, that restaurant where you eat chicken looks really great, I can tell: spinach salad, grilled eggplant with tomatoes , vinegar, garlic olive oil and
Great to hear, thank you! Rabat was really a highlight for me
The weels are very practical for when you want to move things and clean
I’ve heard that since, makes sense!
After you went, they discovered even more Roman ruins in the Rabat side, the biggest since the 60s in Morocco.
I really enjoyed your enthusiasm for the food and now I can't wait to go myself this June!!! Mmmmmm I love tajine!
It was great there! But it is all over Morocco!
Thank you! I have been in Morocco three times but I never went to Rabat. Interesting video!! Made me want to explore Rabat, which is underrated.
Can I come with you next time? 😉 😄
Haha sure! 😉 Yeah Rabat is totally underrated, I really enjoyed it there
Je suis originaire de Rabat et je vous remercie de m'avoir montré autant d'endroits que je ne connaissais pas avant :)
That’s awesome, thank you!
You are welcome to Morocco and thank you for ur nice comments about my country you are so welcome 🙏🏻
Thank you!
I Thank God because im Moroccan ❤
You should try eating those dishes with bread, also, you've made a great video.
Thanks! Bread is always great for soaking things up
Rabat simplemente cuidad mágica
Que bonito es mi país ..gracias por el vídeo
Looks beautiful 😊
U brought my childhood back mate 😃... Thank you Man enjoy your trip
Thank you!
Welcome to the capital ❤🖤💚 .. a very quiet and clean city and the people are very friendly and modest .. a lot of green places a lot of historical sites nice hotels .. welcome again
Thank you, it's a great city!
7:00 exactly m8, that's what the tourists need to learn from you, i mean what's the point of visiting a new country without discovering its own traditional food and you'll be just eating some fast foods..
I like your videos, stay safe ☺️
Absolutely agree, particularly when the food is as good as in Morocco!
Maroc food is Fresh and wholesome .
Hi Chris. I am glad you liked the little dishes that came before your main meal. The first dish was Parslane with tekliya, second is Zaalouk which is eggplant with tekliya spices and the third dish is a salad of sweet peppers and tomatoe. I hope your stay in Morocco.
Thank you! It’s great to know what those were so that I can look out for them next time I come. That meal blew me away!
@@ChrisKermis yes we love them so much in Morocco and there are many more entrées like them but to be honest with you those are my favorites. I myself like to know what I am eating so that I can order it again or recommend it to other people. Please Don hesitate to ask your waiter or people at the restaurant they will let you know as well. I haven't checked the rest of your videos, but I hope you visit Tangiers. It's another culinary world.
@@ChrisKermis do you remember the cost, not that it matters when you enjoy very much?
As far as I remember it was somewhere between 10 to 15Euros. Amazing value for what I got
As a moroccan i really enjoyed your Videos, Thank you Chris and keep going !
Thank you, great to hear!
Beautiful welcoming country ❤
just love your videos. Even some people there were not nice to you but still you keep cool and blessing everything. 💌💖💖💖
Stunning ❤
Nice work Chris.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed my video 🙂
nice video thanks for the work
Thank you!
Thanks for this round it was amazing and beautiful
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!
I love your face reaction when you taste the food😂 welcome anytime
Haha thanks!
The fridge on wheels is indeed very silly xD But it has wheels so that they can clean under it more easily!
I totally need wheels for my fridge!
That's pretty funny! If you're really interested I think you can find fridge bases with wheels for pretty cheap, under 15$ but I'm not sure if it's a good idea to move the fridge around while it's turned on.
I'm Moroccan and I am very happy 😊.thank you Chris for this video 📹 ❤
Thank you, glad you like it!
@@ChrisKermis 🤍🤍
Thank you very much for all this useful information 5 star's . Well done
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for the kind feedback!
Morocco is just 🤩🤩🤩🤩.

Very interesting video. I’m going to Morocco and I stumbled on your videos. Never thought about going to Rabat. It seems like the most beautiful city. Thanks❤
I hope you’ll visit Rabat now, it’s well worth it!
Great video
Thank you!
Good to see the positive image of Africa ❤
Morocco is an amazing country!
New subscriber i really love Rabat ❤
Thank you! Absolutely, I really enjoyed Rabat
Weels easy to clean around 👍
It makes so much sense when you know!
Awsome video.
Thank you!
Thanks for the video
It was kind of memorable places I used visit when back then living in the capital.
In the late seventies we used to walk up in the Hassan tower till the top and get nice view of Rabat and Sale
My favorite spot is Les oudayas drinking tea with Moroccan cookies and enjoying the view of Sale and the river bouregreg
Thank you! It's beautiful around there, I loved stopping off and relaxing in the shade at the Les oudayas cafe with the lovely views.
ur accent its just awesome as the city , thank u
Thank you, I appreciate it!
Cool video ! You look like Karim Benzema !
Thanks! Who’s that?
@@ChrisKermis Seriously, don't you know Benzema ? He is the Golden Ball and one of the best footballers in the world.

Ah! Certainly not the worst comparison anyone has made.
Welcome to Morocco ❤️
Thank you!
@@ChrisKermis 😊😁
Yeah Rabat is a nice city to live in. it's lacking lots of conveniences like in casablanca but that's the price for the peaceful life in it. Great videos Chris your experience descriptions are just spot on! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching, glad you like the videos!
What is it lacking if you don't mind me asking?
Rabat is not lacking any conveniences, we have malls, archeological sites ("Rabat City"is inscribed in the UNESCO Heritage). We have modern buses, tramway and very modern infrastructure, biggest bridge in Africa, biggest theatre and tallest skyscraper. In Rabat, we have more green spaces than any city. Rabat is a very clean city. Casa is cement city, Casa is a dirty city.
Rabat is one of the mist expensive cities of Morocco, and the best african capital this vloger showed just old Rabat, Rabat is super modern city with all conveniences, all hiģh positioned people in Morocco live in Rabat, ît is also the best capital city in Africa
@@user-fi9dk3gt6d hardware stores and many of other items for spare parts or electronics etc are very limited in rabat/sometimes inexistent,while you have lots of choices and good prices in Casablanca. needless to talk about going out. again it's not that far so ppl might consider traveling and getting what they want unless it's a too big to carry.
Nice people like the country
I left Rabat in 2018 just when the cleaning and beautifying effort was gearing up. I see that it's not 100% there yet, but it's a much more pleasant place than I remember. Next will be Sale and I hope some unthinkable day Casablanca gets a serious facelift and a cleanup too.
Rabat was a really pleasant surprise for me. What I thought was missing there was development around the corniche. It seems like a missed opportunity not making better use of the waterfront there.
Rabat has always been the cleanest and safest city in morocco because that’s where the king lives.
@@cestbonbon5961 absolutely nothing .
@@ThorThor-hw1nj Your comment is absolutely stupid. learn to write complete sentences that people can actually understand.
Rabat my city my eternal love
Un paese bellissimo e un video spettacolare
Thank you!
Welcome too Morocco 🇲🇦
Thank you!
@9:26 chellah was founded in BC and most of what you see was built in built in 40 AD, it remained in use till late medieval times
Welcome to Rabat ❤
Thank you!
Nice improvised video! I love the reaction to the food too that looked so genuine 😋
It really was! I had some incredible food in Morocco, but what I had in Rabat really blew me away!
welcome to morocco bro ❤
Thank you!
مناظر خلابة 👍
Welcome in morocco
Thank you!
Wheels are used in Morocco because our women like to mop and clean regularly and they do a great job. It is the main purpose of adding wheels.
I never realised this at the time and it just seemed funny, but it certainly makes a lot of sense!
@@ChrisKermis travelling opens the mind 👍 Cultures are different. Never judge a book by its cover… few people know that Morocco used to be an empire with its civilisation, etc And that Moroccan pirates used to sail to England in search of white slaves… Moroccan pirates used to capture white Europeans and take them back to the city of Meknes. Read the book White Gold by Giles Milton.
@@adamlasry5225 Wtf 😑 sources ?
@@Comptesupprimeeee987 Zainab - please search the book White Gold. It is written by Mr Giles Milton. It discusses our history with slavery. And if you want more knowledge about slavery and Islam, read the book Black Morocco by Moroccan professor Chouki El Hamel. Greetings.
