Private Boat Tour of the Bouregreg River, a Traditional Boat
Description
Embark on a captivating journey through the heart of Rabat and Salé aboard a traditional boat. This private tour showcases the rich history and vibrant culture of the region as you navigate the serene Bouregreg River. Explore non-touristic areas frequented by locals, and delve into fascinating stories that weave the past with the present. Notable sights include the Hassan Tower, the Mausoleum of Mohammad V, the Grand Theatre De Rabat, Kasbah des Oudaias, and the Mohammed VI Tower. Capture stunning photos and gain insights from your captain, who, while not an expert, provides a valuable local perspective. Note that the tour includes pickup from your hotel but does not cover return transport, allowing you to continue exploring at your leisure. Suitable for those comfortable on water, as the calm canals rarely experience rough conditions.

Itinerary
The tour will last approximately 80 minutes. The main aim of this experience is to take you away from all of the overcrowded areas and to let you admire and appreciate the real Rabat in a more intimate and fun environment, guided by a native Rabatian! Be prepared to be WOWED by the mysterious and historical atmosphere that surrounds the canals and gives the city a unique touch that not many people get to experience. During the tour, I am going to guide you through the non-touristic areas where just mostly locals go and I will tell you some Rabat and Sale history and stories that are part of the local culture. However, during the tour, we will also pass in front of all the historical and modern sites like: St. Kasbah of the Udayas, bridge of Hassan II, Hassan Tower, Mohammed VI Tower, and Grand Theater of Rabat.

The ride was pleasant and a nice break from the business of the city. The boat ride itself was barely an hour. Time is spent waiting for authority to proceed. Also, something happened with our booking- we got started almost an hour and a half later than scheduled.
Very enjoyable and relaxing trip on the river. Our Captain shared a good overview of Rabat /Salah and was helpful with recommendations for other things to do in the area.
What a great way to start our time in Rabat. The nicest guys you will ever meet. A calm, peaceful cruise on the river, good coffee and a beautiful fruit platter. Thanks Omar for a wonderful morning.
We were supposed to be picked up at 9 am from our hotel and received a confirmation email this morning. No one ever arrived. There was no way to contact the tour operator other than through the online chat. They did not respond. I called Viator twice in NY. Both times the call got dropped off, and no one bothered to call me back. I’m very disappointed in Viator.

Without tourist interest: you see exactly the same thing on foot from the banks. Expensive, unnecessary. We do not recommend
As we were the only people on the boat, we expected to get more history of the river and its surroundings. We did not go down any canals nor did we get any history of the area. We did however, pass by all the mentioned sites that were listed in the description which was fine.
It was nice to see Rabat, and it’s Kaspah from the water, as well as the new modern theatre building. The guide Soahib was nice and helpful. I tried to row the boat - your do it standing, not sitting - it was hard but a lot of fun!
This boat trip was a beautiful experience! The organise, Sohaib was considerate and accommodating of our needs on the day. The boat trip allowed us to experience the tranquil blue water, and a peaceful Rabat all while under safe hands! Would definitely recommend!
It was a great experience. Sohaib makes sure that you enjoy the tour and makes himself available for questions. I recommend it. Thank you again.
