Morocco desert tours From Casablanca

Our Casablanca to Rabat excursions are offered on daily basis for you to enjoy the charm of the political capital of Morocco which you will visit and spend a full day with the guide and drive who will show you to the most important and the most interesting sites to visit in the city.

On the morning of your Casablanca day trips, our professional, experienced and multilingual driver will pick you up from your hotel at 8 am in order to start your travel to Rabat on about a 1 hour drive for 86 Kms through the cities of al Mohamadia and Skhirat. Upon your arrival in Rabat, you’ll be joined by our experienced and knowledgeable local guide who will accompany you during your tour and explain to you the history of the city and guide you to its monuments and the stories behind them. The monuments you’ll be visiting in Rabat are the Hassan tower, which is the beautiful minaret of an incomplete mosque which was intended to be the biggest mosque in Africa, built in 1195 during the Almohad dynasty, The Kasbah of Udayas, which is a small fortified town that sits by the bank of the river of Bou Regreg. The Kasbah was built in the 12th century during the Almohad Caliphate as a fortress to help defend the city, from which it grew into a small community with homes for about 2000 people, beautiful Andalusian gardens, a fountain and the oldest mosque in Rabat which was built in the 10th century. On your Casablanca to Rabat excursions, you will also visit the Old Medina, which was built in the 17th century and which is small relative to the giant Medina of Fes, but still big enough to get you lost and original enough to blow you away. The king’s palace is a vital building which you shouldn’t miss with its lavish decorations and original Moroccan architecture which you will get to peruse with our Casablanca day trips. Our guide will also show to the Chellah, which is a walled ruin of a town that is crumbling with ruins with a dramatic position looking down on the river. It is Rabat’s most popular touristic site as it houses both Roman ruins and a medieval Muslim necropolis. The Romans first built it in about 40 AD, but it may have been previously occupied by the Phoeniciens or Cathatginians as early as the 3rd century BC. You will also visit the new town, Ville Nouvelle where you can enjoy a peaceful walk near the parliament and through the beautiful streets lined with palm trees. On your Casablanca to Rabat excursions, you will also have the time to do some shopping for local souvenirs as you will visit the local Souks in the Medina to check out the local products as in traditional clothes, herbs and handicrafts. During our Casablanca to Rabat excursions, we will also provide you with chance to visit the enthralling and rich museums of Rabat like the Archeology museum, the museum of modern and contemporary arts and the Moroccan museum of money.
After enjoying your full day tour in Rabat, our driver will take you back to your hotel in Casablanca where you will be dropped off for the end of your Casablanca day trips.
