Abdoun

Abdoun is a district in Rabat, the capital city of Morocco. It is part of the Rabat municipality within the Rabat-Salé-Kénitra region and is located on the western side of the city center. The area is known as an upscale residential and commercial district that combines housing with diplomatic and business activity.

The district features a mix of upscale villas, gated communities, modern apartment complexes, and professional offices. It also hosts a range of services, including restaurants, cafes, shops, and healthcare facilities, making it a popular area for both residents and expatriates. Abdoun is characterized by broad boulevards and tree-lined streets, contributing to its reputation as a premier area in Rabat.

Abdoun has developed significantly since the late 20th century as Rabat expanded beyond its historic core. The district has seen the construction of contemporary architecture, new housing projects, and improved infrastructure to accommodate growing demand for housing and commercial space. It is commonly associated with international residents and foreign diplomacy due to the presence of several embassies and diplomatic residences in and around the area.

Transportation within Abdoun relies on Rabat’s urban road network and public bus services, with easy access to the city center and other districts. While it remains primarily residential, the district’s commercial and diplomatic facilities contribute to its role as a key node in Rabat’s modern urban landscape.

Notes: Abdoun may be referenced in relation to Rabat’s broader metropolitan area and should not be confused with similarly named localities in other countries.
