Shalla and Kasbah: Rabat's sights at a glance - The tour through Rabat was impressive. Our guide Osman was able to tell us a lot about the history of Rabat in a humorous way. Our highlight was the Kasbah, including the wonderful view. Overall, we liked all the sights very much, from the unfinished mosque including the mausoleum to Shalla and the Kasbah.

The perfect Rabat trip - What a great private trip to discover Rabat! Our driver Mehdi was perfect: always on time, friendly and flexible. He brought us from Casablanca to Rabat. Once arrived, we met Outhmane. He is really THE local guide you need for a great tour in Rabat. He knows everything about the city, is very social, classy and friendly. As he lived in the States before, he speaks english perfectly. Rabat is a must see city and Outhmane the must meet tourguide!
