About Rabat
Morocco's capital is an elegant, European-flavored city since France moved the headquarters from Fez in the early 20th C. But its gentile demeanour hides its past as the main harbour for Barbary pirates, particularly from the 16th-18th Centuries. Its convenience to Europe makes it a tourist destination, and its medina is a World Heritage site.
