Nearby, you’ll find the Mausoleum of Mohammed V, where the late King Mohammed V and his two sons are buried. The site is a remarkable example of Moroccan architectural elegance.

  • Royal Palace of Rabat - While you won’t be able to enter the Royal Palace, you can visit its exterior and marvel at its grand architecture and impressive gates.

it was rich in history and culture - Said was the driver and he was so kind and made great conversation. My tour guide was Fadel and he was extremely knowledgeable. You can hear the passion in his voice when he speaks about Rabat. I was the only one in the tour so the price was expensive but it was rich in history and culture. Fadel also showed me his humble home and it was beautiful. Also, booking a tour is the only way you can see the Royal Palace from inside the wall.

Truly worth doing and very glad that we reserved this tour - We started at 9am. Super nice guide and driver were on time and happy. We had a quick overview of the day and headed out. Along the way, they talked to us and shared all sorts of historic points and gave great presentations. They knew all of the sites in Rabat to visit and we did them all efficiently and enjoyed them. They were kind and funny. Helpful with restroom breaks and snacks. Highly recommend and thought that it was truly worth doing and very glad that we reserved this tour.

tour was excellent from start to finish - I didn’t have a lot of time to plan for this so I booked a last minute trip . I really enjoyed the one day tour in Rabat from fes as the driver (Badr) was very pleasant, patient, and helpful when taking me to the sites listed in this guide. Thank you for a great and memorable tour in Rabat! <3
