• Rabat - Begin your private full-day trip to Rabat, the capital of Morocco, at 8:00 am with a hotel pickup from Fez in an air-conditioned vehicle. Enjoy the scenic views, fresh air, and take memorable photos with several stops along the way.

Upon arriving in Rabat, explore the Old Medina and wander through the maze of souks and artisan shops. Visit Place Souk El Ghezel (Wool Market Square), where Christian prisoners were once sold as slaves. Stroll down the famous Rue des Consuls, where foreign consuls were required to live. Browse the craft shops and visit the Jewish quarter.

After lunch, begin the second part of the tour, which includes the following sites:

Hassan Tower, a magnificent mosque known for its unfinished minaret where storks nest, located on a hill overlooking the Bou-Regreg River. Next, visit the Mohammed V Mausoleum, adorned with simple stained glass windows, marble, and an iron-wrought entryway with numerous stairways leading to the stunning dome.

Then, head to the Bouregreg River and explore the Udayas Kasbah, built during the Almohad period (1121-1269) to protect the city, surrounded by ramparts from the same era. Visit Bab Oudaïa, a monumental gate showcasing Almohad military architecture. Also, see the Oudaïa Museum, housed in Moulay Ismaïl’s palace, which features wonderful collections of traditional Moroccan folk art. Relax in the Andalusian garden with its Moorish design.

Finally, the Fez to Rabat day trip concludes with a visit to Chellah, a significant Roman port and town. The last stop is the new town, characterized by wide boulevards, green spaces, residential avenues, a railroad, the Morocco Bank, and the Cathédrale Saint-Pierre. Return to Fez for drop-off at your accommodation.
