About This Tour

Discover the Imperial City of Rabat, the political and administrative capital of Morocco. Known for its green spaces, clean boulevards, and rich history, Rabat offers a stark contrast to the busy streets of Casablanca.

On this private tour, you will marvel at the majestic Hassan Tower, pay respects at the Mausoleum of Mohammed V, and wander through the charming blue and white streets of the Kasbah of the Udayas. You will also step back in time at the ancient Roman ruins of Chellah, a peaceful necropolis inhabited by storks.

Rabat was the surprise highlight of our trip. Much greener and calmer than Casa. The Mausoleum is breathtaking. Our driver was excellent.

We loved the Kasbah of the Udayas. It feels like a mini Chefchaouen with all the blue walls. A lovely relaxed day.
