Rabat Day Trip from Fez

From its ancient walls to its elegant modern landmarks, Rabat is Morocco’s political capital and a hidden cultural gem. This full-day journey from Fes gives you a rich glimpse into Morocco’s imperial legacy — minus the crowds.

Chellah Necropolis – Echoes of Empires

Begin at Chellah, an extraordinary archaeological site where Roman ruins meet medieval tombs. Stroll through crumbled walls and citrus groves, where storks nest and legends linger.

The Tower That Reaches History – Hassan Tower

Stand before the iconic Hassan Tower, once destined to be the largest minaret in the world. Opposite lies the Mausoleum of Mohammed V, a stunning example of Moroccan craftsmanship and sacred serenity.

Kasbah of the Oudayas – Fortress by the Sea

Explore the UNESCO-listed Kasbah of the Oudayas, a white-and-blue Andalusian enclave perched above the Bouregreg River. Wander its flower-lined alleys, pause at the Andalusian garden, and admire Atlantic views from its ramparts.

Rabat’s Medina – A Quiet Maze of Colors

After a relaxing lunch at a traditional Moroccan restaurant, delve into Rabat’s medina — less frantic than Fes, yet just as full of color, artisans, and spice-scented souks.
