The Hassan Tower is a historic and iconic unfinished minaret in Rabat, Morocco’s capital, commissioned by Sultan Yaʿqūb al-Mansur of the Almohad dynasty in the late 12th century as part of an ambitious plan to build one of the largest mosques in the world. Construction began around 1195, but after the sultan’s death in 1199, the project was left incomplete, and the tower reached only about 44 m of its intended height of around 80–86 m. The site also includes the remains of the mosque’s walls and columns, giving a sense of the original scale of the complex. Today, the Hassan Tower, built of red sandstone and featuring traditional Almohad architectural details, stands as a powerful symbol of Morocco’s rich history and architectural heritage, alongside the nearby Mausoleum of Mohammed V
The Mausoleum of Mohammed V is a striking and revered royal tomb located in Rabat, directly across from the Hassan Tower. It was commissioned by King Hassan II in honour of his father, King Mohammed V, the leader who played a central role in Morocco’s independence movement in the mid-20th century.
The Royal Palace of Rabat, known in Arabic as Dar al-Makhzen, is the official residence and main administrative palace of the King of Morocco in the country’s capital, Rabat. Built in 1864 on the site of an earlier royal residence, it has served as the centre of Morocco’s monarchy and state affairs ever since
Chellah is an ancient archaeological site and fortified necropolis located on the southern bank of the Bou Regreg estuary in Rabat. It stands where the ancient Roman city of Sala Colonia once flourished and later became a significant Marinid royal burial ground in the 13th–14th centuries.
The Kasbah of the Oudayas is a historic fortified citadel perched at the mouth of the Bou Regreg River in Rabat, overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. Originally built in the 12th century during the Almohad period as a defensive stronghold, it later became a vibrant community influenced by Andalusian refugees, corsairs, and various dynasties over the centuries

Viator, despite having sent me the confirmation and charged me the cost, had said nothing to the local agency that was supposed to organize the tour. I wasted more than an hour waiting and was only able to do the tour because, after getting in touch with the local agency, they had a guide available and managed to organize a guided tour at the last minute.
Fantastic organization; precise, prepared and punctual. We've been followed all day. I highly recommend it to everyone
