===Neighbourhoods of Rabat===
Rabat is an administrative city. It has many shopping districts and residential neighbourhoods. The geographically spread out neighbourhoods are as follows:

The heart of the city consists of three parts: the Medina (old town); the Oudayas and Hassan both located to meet the [[Bou Regreg]]; and the Atlantic Ocean.<ref>{{Cite web |last=videos |first=All the |title=Rabat - Culture, heritage and festivals {{!}} Moroccan National Tourist Office |url=https://www.visitmorocco.com/en/travel/rabat/medina |access-date=2023-04-20 |website=www.visitmorocco.com |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Medina of Rabat |url=https://www.morocco.com/attractions/favorites/medina-of-rabat/ |access-date=2023-04-20 |website=Morocco.com |language=en-US}}</ref>

To the west, and along the waterfront, there is a succession of neighbourhoods.

First, around the ramparts, there is the old neighbourhoods, Quartier l'Océan and Quartier les Orangers. Beyond that, a succession of mostly working-class districts: Diour Jamaa, Akkari, Yacoub El Mansour, Massira and Hay el Fath are the main parts of this axis.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Elsheshtawy |first=Yasser |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=O8Zz-2AtuIwC&dq=neighbourhoods+in+rabat&pg=PA102 |title=The Evolving Arab City: Tradition, Modernity and Urban Development |date=2008-05-27 |publisher=Routledge |isbn=978-1-134-12821-1 |language=en}}</ref> Hay el Fath, which ends this sequence, evolves into a middle-class neighbourhood.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Team |first=Kurby |date=2023-06-29 |title=The 10 Best Neighborhoods In Rabat, Morocco |url=https://blog.kurby.ai/the-10-best-neighborhoods-in-rabat-morocco/ |access-date=2024-03-01 |website=Kurby Real Estate AI |language=en}}</ref>

To the east, along the Bouregreg, the Youssoufia region (working and middle class) : Mabella; Taqaddoum; Hay Nahda (mostly middle class); Aviation (middle and upper middle class); and Rommani.

Between the two axes, from north to south, there are three main neighbourhoods (middle class to affluent): [[Agdal]] (Ward Building; a lively mix of residential and commercial buildings. The residents are predominantly upper middle class); [[Hay Riad]] (affluent villas; this neighbourhood has experienced a surge of momentum since the 2000s); and Souissi (lavish villas, embassies, well-off residential neighborhood).

On the outskirts of Souissi, are a number of less-dense regions mainly comprising large private houses to areas that seem out of the city.
