Morocco's capital, Rabat, is an exotic imperial city with many cultural attractions. A far cry from Marrakech and Fez, Rabat is no less steeped in history; its origins go back to the 7th century. Known these days as the 'Washington' of North Africa - because of its parks, boulevards, monuments, embassies and government buildings - it is also the seat of the Royal Family. Rabat is situated on the estuary of a river, facing the Atlantic Ocean: sardine vendors can be seen all over, every corner shop stocking canned sardines in a mildly spiced tomato sauce, a delicious Moroccan specialty. Cultural attractions include the Archaeological Museum, which has an exceptional collection of Roman bronzes dating from the first and second centuries.
