  1. 1

    Casablanca – Rabat – Casablanca

    approx. 1–1.5 h each way plus local driving

    We meet you at your Casablanca hotel around 8:30 am and begin at the Hassan II Mosque, built partly over the Atlantic; guided interior visits for non-Muslim visitors run at set times outside prayer hours. After a drive along the Corniche and through the Habous quarter, we head to Rabat, about an hour away. Walk through the Kasbah of the Udayas, its blue-and-white lanes leading to a viewpoint over the river mouth and the Andalusian garden. After lunch, see the unfinished Hassan Tower and the Mausoleum of Mohammed V with its ceremonial guards, and optionally the Chellah necropolis. We return to Casablanca by early evening, or can drop you at Casablanca airport.

Questions

FAQs

Can I visit inside the Hassan II Mosque?

Yes, on guided tours at set times outside prayer hours. Tours do not run during some religious holidays.

Is this suitable for cruise passengers?

Yes – we can collect you from the port and plan timings around your ship.

Could I travel by train instead?

Yes, Casablanca–Rabat is well served by train, but a private driver makes visiting the spread-out sites much easier.
