From the peaceful Kasbah of the Udayas to the lively old medina, this experience lets you see the city beyond the usual tourist spots, making your visit truly memorable. Hop on, relax, and discover Rabat like a local!
Perched above the Atlantic Ocean and the Bou Regreg River, the Kasbah of the Udayas is one of Rabat’s most picturesque landmarks. This historic fortress, dating back to the 12th century, is famous for its peaceful atmosphere, narrow blue-and-white streets, and breathtaking panoramic views. Walking through the Kasbah feels like stepping into a charming coastal village, where history, architecture, and daily life blend beautifully.
Located inside the Kasbah, the Andalusian Gardens offer a tranquil escape from the city’s bustle. Designed in traditional Moorish style, these lush gardens feature orange trees, colorful flowers, fountains, and shaded walkways. It is the perfect place to relax, take photos, and enjoy the calm ambiance of one of Rabat’s most beautiful green spaces.
Marina Rabat is a modern waterfront promenade stretching along the Bou Regreg River between Rabat and Salé. With its yachts, cafés, restaurants, and scenic walkways, it provides stunning river views and a pleasant atmosphere for strolling. It represents the modern side of Rabat, where contemporary life meets traditional surroundings.
The Hassan Tower is Rabat’s most iconic monument and a powerful symbol of Morocco’s imperial past. Built in the 12th century, it was intended to become the tallest minaret in the world, but construction was never completed. Today, the tower stands surrounded by hundreds of stone columns, creating an impressive open-air site that reflects the grandeur of the Almohad dynasty.
Facing the Hassan Tower, the Mausoleum of Mohammed V is an architectural masterpiece showcasing the finest Moroccan craftsmanship. Decorated with intricate mosaics, carved marble, and a beautifully sculpted cedar wood ceiling, it houses the tombs of King Mohammed V and his sons. Royal guards in traditional dress add to the solemn and majestic atmosphere of this sacred site.
Chellah is an ancient archaeological site combining Roman ruins and medieval Islamic structures, set within peaceful gardens. Surrounded by fortified walls, this atmospheric location is home to storks, flowers, and hidden pathways. It offers visitors a fascinating journey through different civilizations while enjoying calm surroundings away from the city noise.
The Royal Palace is the official residence of the King of Morocco and a symbol of the country’s monarchy. While entry is restricted, visitors can admire the grand gates, impressive architecture, and royal guards. The palace reflects the elegance, authority, and tradition of Moroccan royal heritage.
The Old Medina is the vibrant heart of traditional Rabat. Its narrow streets are filled with local markets, artisan workshops, cafés, and historic buildings. Unlike the busier medinas of other cities, Rabat’s medina offers a relaxed and authentic atmosphere, making it ideal for discovering everyday Moroccan life, shopping for souvenirs, and tasting local flavors.
