    The walled old town near the river keeps markets and historic sights within close walking distance, while newer districts spread out further from the water. Staying near the old town or a bridge crossing to neighboring Rabat is generally convenient.

    What to see

    Timed to the light

    The old town's markets and historic gates are pleasant to explore in the cooler morning hours, with the mild coastal climate suiting walking at most times of year. The nearby beach along the Atlantic offers an easy, relaxed contrast to the historic streets.
