Mohammed VI Tower, Rabat

The Mohammed VI Tower is one of the most striking landmarks on the Rabat skyline. Rising 250 metres above the Bouregreg Valley, this 55-storey skyscraper is the tallest building in Morocco. Its slender shape, resembling a rocket ready for launch, makes it easy to recognize from many parts of the city. Inaugurated in 2026, the tower represents Morocco’s modern ambitions and adds a distinctly contemporary touch to the capital’s historic landscape.

The tower stands on the Salé side of the Bouregreg River, opposite Rabat, as part of a major redevelopment project along the riverbanks. Its complex brings together a luxury hotel, apartments, offices, restaurants, shops, and conference facilities. The contrast is particularly striking: across the water, Rabat’s historic landmarks and traditional architecture meet a modern skyline that reflects the country’s changing identity.

Beyond its impressive height, the building incorporates a range of technologies designed to improve energy efficiency and reduce its environmental impact. Solar panels, rainwater collection, and systems designed to withstand strong winds and seismic activity are among its features. These details make the Mohammed VI Tower more than just a landmark; it is also a showcase for contemporary architecture and engineering in Morocco.

For visitors, one of the highlights is the panoramic view from the upper floors, where the Rabat-Salé area unfolds beneath you. The Bouregreg River winds between the two cities, while Rabat’s medina, historic gates, and kasbahs offer a reminder of the region’s long history. On a clear day, the view extends towards the Atlantic coast. If you would like to visit the tower, check its official website for current access arrangements and opening hours before you go.
