Begin your exploration at the Royal Palace, where the grandeur of Moroccan architecture is on full display. Wander through the ancient site of Bab Chellah, transformed into a medieval necropolis, and feel the echoes of history in the Andalusian Garden, a peaceful oasis blending Islamic and Spanish influences. As you stroll through the Ancient Walls of the Medina, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the intricate designs and centuries-old architecture tell stories of a bygone era. The tour’s knowledgeable guide ensures you don’t miss any historical gems, making it a truly enriching experience.

“An absolute must!! - We personally loved Rabat even more than Casablanca, and we were not even planning on visiting Rabat. What an absolute gem! From the gardens to the ocean…it was one beautiful site after the next! Our favorite was inside the Chellah. It was breathtaking: from all the history, the gardens, and the scenic views from inside the walls. Well worth $7. Our tour guide topped it off. What an utterly delightful human being. She is like a ray of sunshine, so patient, so informative. We could not recommend this trip more!” - Reviewed at 2025-04-11
