You will be surprised by the straight layout of the city's historical heart in sharp contrast to the usual maze of streets. A walk through Rabat's medina could look like this: start your visit at the Bab El Had gate and take Souika Street, the largest and probably busiest street in the medina. You will arrive in the Es Sabat souk, the shoe market, covered with reed mats and overflowing with babouches (leather slippers) as well as silver and gold jewellery. You then come to the partially glass-roofed Rue des Consuls where craftsmen make woollen carpets, fabrics and copperware. The medina also offers low-priced and local food, so do not hesitate to try mint tea, pastillas or tagine.

The Tito Bustillo Cave is on the selected list of World Heritage and is one of the most important Palaeolithic art sites. Make sure to wear warm clothes when visiting the cave. It is also advisable to book your visit in advance.

Animal lovers and eco-warriors will adore Dunedin’s abundant wildlife. The albatross, for example, can fly with its three-metre wingspan at speeds of up to 115 kilometres per hour. You have the chance to see these majestic creatures from the observatory at Dunedin’s Royal Albatross Centre at Taiaroa Head.
