What do people like (and dislike) about Rabat?

Answer this Question

When we asked expats and global nomads what they like and dislike about living in Rabat, they replied...

"Expats and digital nomads generally like living in Rabat, for its rich history, beautiful architecture, and vibrant culture. They appreciate the relatively low cost of living, which allows them to enjoy a comfortable lifestyle without breaking the bank. The city's Mediterranean climate, with mild winters and warm summers, is also a big draw for many. The food scene in Rabat is another highlight, with a wide variety of delicious Moroccan cuisine and international options available. Expats and digital nomads also enjoy the city's lively arts scene, which includes music, theater, and art exhibitions. The friendly and hospitable nature of the local people is another aspect that makes living in Rabat enjoyable. However, there are some challenges that expats and digital nomads face while living in Rabat. One of the main issues is the language barrier, as not everyone speaks English, and learning Arabic or French can be difficult for some. This can make navigating daily life and finding work more challenging. Another concern is the lack of reliable and fast internet, which can be frustrating for digital nomads who rely on a stable connection for their work. Additionally, the city's public transportation system is not always efficient, and traffic can be chaotic at times. Some expats and digital nomads may also struggle with cultural differences, such as more conservative social norms and gender roles. This can make it difficult for some to adapt and feel comfortable in their new environment. Finally, while Rabat is generally safe, petty crime and scams targeting foreigners can be an issue, so it's essential to remain vigilant and take necessary precautions," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Rabat, Morocco.
