This day trip from Casablanca to Rabat is the easiest of all: about an hour on the motorway takes you to Morocco’s capital, one of the imperial cities and a UNESCO World Heritage site. You’ll see the Kasbah of the Udayas above the sea, the Hassan Tower, the Mausoleum of Mohammed V and the Chellah necropolis.

It’s a private tour: the vehicle and driver are just for your group, with pick-up from your hotel in Casablanca.

What the day looks like

Morning pick-up in Casablanca; about an hour later you’re in Rabat. You start at the esplanade of the Hassan Tower, a minaret that was never finished, and the Mausoleum of Mohammed V opposite. Then the Chellah necropolis, with Roman and medieval ruins among gardens.

In the afternoon, the Kasbah of the Udayas: white and blue lanes, an Andalusian garden and views over the river and the Atlantic. Back to Casablanca.

Rabat is one of the imperial cities, along with Fes, Meknes and Marrakech. If your trip continues north, the 14-day tour from Casablanca spends a night in Rabat, and the 5-day tour from Tangier to Casablanca passes through on its last day.

Frequently asked questions

How long is the drive from Casablanca to Rabat?

About an hour each way on the motorway. The whole day takes about 7 to 8 hours.

Is one day enough for Rabat?

Yes. The four main sights are close to one another, and there’s time for lunch and a relaxed walk.

Can we also see the Hassan II Mosque?

It’s in Casablanca, so it’s best seen on another day or before your trip starts: our tours from Casablanca include it on day one.

Is the day trip private or shared?

Private. The vehicle, a 4x4 or a van with air conditioning, and the driver are just for your group: you don’t share the day with other travellers. Your driver speaks English, Spanish, French or Italian.
