You begin on two wheels at a low-slung quay where the Bouregreg River pushes steadily toward the Atlantic, the breeze tugging at your sleeves. The city opens slowly: whitewashed walls, blue-painted doorways, and a minaret’s shadow that slides across cobbled alleys. On this 2–3 hour ride, Rabat moves at a human pace—historic stones, coastal gusts and the occasional market bell marking your turns.
