Rabat Day Trip from Casablanca

What You’ll Discover in Rabat :

Kasbah of the Oudayas

Step inside this fortified citadel overlooking the river and the ocean. Built during the Almohad dynasty in the 12th century, the Kasbah was originally a military post and later grew into a small village within the city walls. Wander its maze of white and blue houses, Andalusian gardens, and impressive historic gateways.

Hassan Tower & Esplanade

Marvel at the iconic Hassan Tower, the ambitious remains of what was meant to be the largest mosque in the world under Sultan Yaacoub Al-Mansour. The unfinished minaret rises proudly above a vast plaza filled with more than 200 columns, an unforgettable symbol of the city.

Medina of Rabat

Explore the old medina, where traditional souks, craft shops, and ancient ramparts reveal the daily life and artisanal heritage of the locals. It’s a perfect place to browse for souvenirs and admire Moroccan craftsmanship.

Mausoleum of Mohammed V

Across from Hassan Tower stands this magnificent royal mausoleum, the final resting place of King Mohammed V and his sons, including Hassan II. With its white marble façade, intricate carvings, and signature green-tiled roof, the mausoleum is a masterpiece of modern Alaouite architecture and a revered spiritual monument.

Chellah Necropolis

Travel back in time at Chellah, a peaceful archaeological site containing Roman ruins (once called Sala Colonia) alongside later medieval structures of the Marinid dynasty. Its atmospheric gardens, ancient walls, and resident storks make it one of Rabat’s most enchanting places to visit.
