Itinerary
The Oudayas Kasbah was initially built in the 12th century by the Almoravids to fight against the Berghouata tribes. It only became important with the Almohads, who made it a military camp, a ribat overlooking the mouth of the Bouregreg River and named it Mehdiya. The kasbah served as a base for the Moroccan armies setting out to conquer Andalusia, led by the Almohad dynasty
The Andalusian Gardens, nestled within the Kasbah of the Oudayas, are a serene and picturesque oasis in Rabat. These beautifully landscaped gardens, created during the French colonial period, feature a harmonious blend of lush greenery, vibrant flowers and tranquil fountains. While strolling through the gardens, visitors can enjoy the peaceful ambiance, admire traditional Moroccan architecture and take in the fragrant scents of jasmine and orange blossom. The Andalusian Gardens provide a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of the city, offering a relaxing and visually captivating experience.
The Hassan Tower is an iconic historical monument in Rabat, originally intended to be the tallest minaret in the world. Commissioned in the 12th century by Sultan Yacoub al-Mansour, the tower stands 44 metres tall, a striking testament to its incomplete construction. The site also includes the ruins of an unfinished mosque and a beautifully landscaped esplanade adorned with columns. A visit to the Hassan Tower will captivate you with its intricate architectural details and panoramic views of the city and the Bou Regreg River. This remarkable monument offers a fascinating insight into Morocco’s rich history and architectural heritage
The Mausoleum of Mohammed V is a magnificent and venerated monument in Rabat, serving as the last home to King Mohammed V and his two sons, King Hassan II and Prince Abdallah. Built in the traditional Moroccan architectural style, the mausoleum features a superb white marble exterior and an interior richly decorated with intricate mosaics, carved wood and gold leaves. Visitors can marvel at the exquisite know-how and solemn beauty of this sacred site, symbol of the royal heritage of Morocco. The Mohammed V Mausoleum is a must-see destination, offering a deep insight into the country's history and a place of reflection and respect
Chellah is an ancient archaeological site located just outside the city walls of Rabat. This historic necropolis, dating back to the Phoenician and Roman eras, later became an important Islamic complex. As you explore Chellah, you will wander through the ruins of ancient structures, including Roman streets, Islamic minarets and beautiful gardens. The site is home to a variety of flora and fauna, creating a tranquil and enchanting atmosphere. Visiting Chellah offers a fascinating journey through Morocco’s history, offering insight into its diverse cultural and architectural heritage in a serene and picturesque setting. Entrance fee is 7 euros per person
The Royal Palace of Rabat, also known as Dar al-Makhzen, is the official residence of the King of Morocco. This magnificent palace complex, built in the 18th century, is a masterpiece of traditional Moroccan architecture, with vast courtyards, lush gardens, and ornate buildings. Although the interior of the palace is not open to the public, visitors can admire its impressive exterior and the grandeur of its design from the surrounding gardens. The Royal Palace is a symbol of the Moroccan monarchy and heritage, offering a glimpse into the country's royal traditions and the elegance of its historic architecture
Rabat’s Old Medina is a historic and vibrant district, bustling and rich in cultural heritage. This maze of narrow streets and alleys is filled with traditional souks, where you can find a variety of goods, from handmade jewelry and textiles to aromatic spices and fresh produce. As you wander through the medina, you’ll encounter historic buildings, charming cafes, and local artisans at work.

This is not a guided tour. The driver didn't give us any explanation of what we were seeing so we ended up spending half the time on Wikipedia to understand where we were. The drive into the old souq was very rushed and skipped many interesting places. Our hotel was 5 minutes away from the pickup point but they didn't even offer to pick us up, and we had to go through the hassle of finding a taxi just for few minutes. Overall, this is not a tour, it's merely a transport service which then ends up being very expensive for what we got. Get a taxi and save your money.

In theory would be good - our guide’s speaker stopped working about 10 minutes into the tour so he drove us around in silence and pointed out buildings
Thank you for your feedback. However, I believe this review may have been posted on the wrong listing, as I was not your guide for this tour. I’m sorry to hear about your experience, as this is not the level of service we aim to provide. If you’d like, please feel free to contact me directly so I can better understand what happened and assist you. Wishing you a pleasant stay and better experiences during your travels.
This tuk-tuk tour was a pleasant way to see Rabat, especially in good weather. The driver was very nice and cheerful – he showed us the main spots, told us where to take photos, and kept the whole experience light and fun. If you want a quick, low-effort orientation of the city, this works well. But if you're looking for deep historical context or a thorough exploration of Rabat, this isn't it. There's not much detailed information about the sites – it's more of a friendly ride with some basic pointing. So for a sunny day and a relaxed, superficial first look at the city – yes. For a real guided tour – look elsewhere.
Thank you very much for your honest and thoughtful review! I’m really happy to hear that you enjoyed the tour and had a pleasant time discovering Rabat in a relaxed and fun way. It was a pleasure meeting you 😊 I also truly appreciate your feedback regarding the level of historical detail. I always try to adapt the experience to each guest – whether they prefer a light, enjoyable ride or a more in-depth explanation. I will definitely take your comment into account to improve future tours. Thank you again, and you are always welcome back anytime in Rabat!
