Agdal is an urban community of Rabat, the capital of Morocco. It is a former suburb whose chief inhabitants, prior to the postwar expansion of the city, were the students of the nearby university. (This was recognized by Malika Oufkir, in her book Stolen Lives.) Presently, it is among the richest neighborhoods in Morocco. It is inhabited by many expatriates, chiefly French, as well as a population of wealthy Moroccans. It houses one of the two train stations of Rabat, named Rabat-Agdal.
