There is also a tram line which runs between Rabat and its twin city, Salé. Trams run between about 6am and 11pm daily and services operate roughly every 10 minutes during the week.Those who prefer to explore Morocco's capital city at a more leisurely pace will find that most of Rabat's major attractions are accessible on foot.
