Itinerary
After picking you up after breakfast at your accommodation in Meknes, we will hit the highway and drive directly to Rabat.
Depending on how early we start, we can spend more time visiting certain sights than others.
We will begin our exploration of Rabat with a visit to the Hassan Tower and Mausoleum of Mohamed V.
A veritable complex of Moroccan royal history, here we’ll see where Morocco’s past meets its future, completed in 1199 by the Almohad king Yacub al-Mansour, the Hassan Tower, a UNESCO site, and its 200 collapsed columns have stood as a symbol of royal power in Morocco for over 800 years.
Just next to it, one finds the ornately decorated Mausoleum of Mohamed V, the grandfather of the present king and founder of modern Morocco.
You have the option of visiting these sites with or without a local guide.
Next, we will drive to visit the Chella An ancient Roman port city, a Moorish outpost, a fortified necropolis—the Chella of Rabat enjoyed a storied history before becoming the tourist destination it is today.
A winding, unkempt assembly of houses, ruins, streets, and gardens, one wonders if the families of white storks or humans enjoy visiting the Chellah more.
You have the option of visiting this site with or without a guide.
After a stop for lunch at a nice local restaurant, we will move on to visit the Kasabah of the Udayas.
This fortified neighborhood has sat perched over the crashing waves of the Atlantic Ocean since its completion in 1269.
A maze of small streets, ancient stone houses, picturesque doors, and views over the Atlantic Ocean, the Kasabah of the Udayas UNESCO status isn’t just merited by its rich history, but also by its calm beauty.
You have the option of visiting this site with or without a guide.
Then we will discover Rabat’s new town, where Morocco meets the modern world, Rabat’s new city, left behind by the French, features many notable sights all connected by a sleek brand-new tram system: the Bank of Morocco, the Postal Museum, and the Saint Peter Cathedral Adjacent to this neighborhood, we find Rabat’s old city.
After a long day of discovering Rabat, we will take the highway directly back to your accommodation in Meknes.
