Detailed itinerary

Stop 1 Pass by

Enjoy a scenic drive passing by the Hassan II Mosque, one of the world’s largest and most impressive religious monuments. With its magnificent Moorish architecture and 210-meter minaret, it stands as Casablanca’s most iconic landmark by the Atlantic Ocean.

On the way to Rabat, stop at the stunning Bouznika Beach for a relaxing camel ride along the golden coastline. This short but memorable experience allows you to capture amazing photos and enjoy the peaceful ocean breeze before continuing north toward Rabat.

Stop 3

After about an hour’s drive, reach Hassan Tower, the majestic 12th-century minaret of an unfinished mosque built during the Almohad dynasty. This impressive site, standing beside ancient ruins, symbolizes the grandeur of medieval Morocco.

Stop 4

Visit the Mausoleum of Mohammed V, a masterpiece of modern Alaouite architecture built between 1961 and 1971. Resting place of King Mohammed V and his sons, it dazzles with its white marble, green tiles, and intricate carvings.

stop by the Royal Palace of Rabat, the official residence of the King of Morocco. Built in 1864 during Sultan Mohammed IV’s reign, this majestic complex reflects traditional Moroccan architecture and national pride.

Arrive at Chellah, a fascinating archaeological site blending Roman and Islamic ruins surrounded by lush gardens. Stroll through the peaceful pathways and admire ancient walls, stone tombs, and storks nesting atop crumbling towers.

Walk along the historic walls of Rabat’s old Medina, built in the 12th century and reinforced with bastions and towers. These sandstone fortifications offer scenic views of the Medina and the Atlantic coastline.

Stop 8

Explore the Kasbah des Oudaias, a 12th-century fortress overlooking the Bou Regreg River. Its narrow blue-and-white streets, flower-filled courtyards, and Andalusian charm make it one of Rabat’s most picturesque neighborhoods.

Stroll through the serene Andalusian Gardens, designed in the early 20th century by French architect Jean-Claude Forestier. The gardens feature fountains, citrus trees, flower beds, and elegant tiled walkways — a peaceful oasis in the Kasbah.

Take a relaxing lunch break at Marina Salé, a modern riverside area with panoramic views of the Kasbah and the Atlantic. Enjoy local seafood or Moroccan dishes at a café or restaurant of your choice (lunch not included; average €10–€20).
