What to Expect on Your Rabat Day Tour from Casablanca Port
🚘 Port Pickup and Scenic Drive to Rabat
Begin your adventure with a warm welcome right at the Casablanca cruise terminal. Settle into a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle for a smooth drive along the Atlantic coast. As city views give way to lush countryside, your guide will share fascinating insights into Morocco’s royal history and modern identity.
👑 Royal Palace (Exterior Visit)
Your first stop is the Royal Palace of Rabat (Dar al-Makhzen)—the official residence of Morocco’s King. While entrance is restricted, you’ll admire its grand gates, ornate design, and ceremonial guards from the public square, gaining insight into Morocco’s monarchy and architectural elegance.
🕌 Hassan Tower & Mausoleum of Mohammed V
Next, visit Hassan Tower, the minaret of an ambitious 12th-century mosque project that was never completed, yet remains one of Morocco’s most iconic landmarks. Opposite stands the Mausoleum of Mohammed V, an exquisite white marble tomb housing the late King and his sons—guarded by royal sentries and topped with a green tiled roof symbolizing Islam.
🏰 Kasbah of the Udayas
Step back in time inside the Kasbah of the Udayas, a UNESCO-listed fortress overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. Its cobbled lanes, white-and-blue houses, and lush Andalusian gardens offer a charming contrast to the modern cityscape. Take in sweeping views of the river and sea from the old ramparts.
🥘 Traditional Moroccan Lunch
Pause for a delicious Moroccan lunch at a local restaurant or traditional riad. Savor regional specialties like chicken or lamb tagine, couscous, fresh salads, and mint tea—all prepared with authentic flavors and warm hospitality.
🏛️ Chellah Necropolis
Your final stop is the hauntingly beautiful Chellah, an ancient Roman and Islamic necropolis framed by wildflowers, olive trees, and nesting storks. Wander through ruins that span centuries—Roman streets, medieval tombs, and minarets crumbling with grace.
⏱️ Return to Casablanca Port
After a fulfilling day of cultural immersion, you’ll be driven back to Casablanca Port with plenty of time to reboard your ship. Sit back, relax, and reflect on the rich history and beauty of Rabat.
