About this experience

Discover Rabat in the most fun and convenient way possible — aboard your own private TukTuk. This experience is perfect for travelers who want to see all of Rabat’s major attractions in just half a day, without long walks or complicated transportation.

Your driver (English or French speaking) will take you from one highlight to another, making this a comfortable transportation-based tour, not a guided historical tour. It’s ideal because the city’s monuments are spread far apart, and reaching them on foot or by taxi can be time-consuming. With the TukTuk, you simply sit back, relax, and enjoy an effortless ride between the Kasbah des Oudayas, Andalusian Gardens, Marina, Hassan Tower, the Mausoleum of Mohammed V, Chellah, the Royal Palace (outside view), and the lively Medina.

This experience gives you the freedom to explore each site at your own pace while enjoying a fun, unique, and eco-friendly way to discover the capital

Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

Explore the legendary Kasbah des Oudayas, Rabat’s oldest fortified village. Wander through its blue-and-white Andalusian-style streets, admire panoramic views over the Atlantic Ocean, and feel the charm of a neighborhood that has remained untouched for centuries.

Step inside the peaceful Andalusian Gardens, a beautifully landscaped oasis filled with citrus trees, flowers, and quiet pathways. It’s the perfect place to relax, breathe fresh air, and enjoy the elegance of Rabat’s old Andalusian influence.

Stop 4

Visit the iconic Hassan Tower, a masterpiece of Almohad architecture and one of Morocco’s most important historical landmarks. Its massive unfinished minaret tells the story of a grand mosque that was never completed—yet remains a symbol of Rabat.

Stop 5

Right next to Hassan Tower, discover the majestic Mausoleum of King Mohammed V, home to the tombs of the royal family. The ornate white marble, wood carvings, and traditional zellij tiles make it one of Morocco’s most beautiful monuments.

Explore the mystical ruins of Chellah, an ancient Roman city later transformed into a medieval necropolis. Walk through Roman columns, old fortified walls, and lush gardens where storks nest—one of Rabat’s most peaceful and historic places.

See the impressive Royal Palace of Rabat, the official residence of the King. While entry inside is not permitted, you will admire its grand gates, traditional architecture, and the vast esplanade surrounding one of the city’s most important institutions.

End your journey inside the lively Medina of Rabat, a mix of local markets, artisan shops, traditional bakeries, and authentic daily life. It’s the perfect place to experience the cultural soul of the city.
