Itinerary and Exciting Stops
1. Port Welcome and Journey to Rabat (1 Hour 30 Minutes)
As soon as your ship docks, your friendly, licensed guide and comfortable, air-conditioned private vehicle will be ready to greet you. Without delay, we set off on a scenic drive via the highway towards Rabat, the administrative capital of Morocco.
2. Rabat Exploration: History and Royal Splendour (3 Hours)
Upon our arrival in Rabat, we delve into the city's rich history and architectural wonders:
Mausoleum of Mohammed V and Hassan Tower: Visit the majestic remains of the unfinished 12th-century minaret, Hassan Tower (Tour Hassan), and right next to it, the Mausoleum of Mohammed V, a masterpiece of modern Alaouite dynasty architecture with its white marble and green-tiled roof. Witnessing the changing of the guard by the Royal Guards will also be an unforgettable moment.
Kasbah of the Udayas (Oudayas Kasbah): Wander through this charming, blue-and-white painted fortress and fortified settlement by the ocean. Its narrow streets, Andalusian Gardens, and panoramic views at the confluence of the Bou Regreg River and the ocean will enchant you.
Royal Palace (Exterior View): We will see the exterior of the magnificent Royal Palace and its vast courtyard, the seat of the Moroccan government.
3. Lunch Break (1 Hour)
Free time to rest at a local restaurant (meal not included in the price) and sample Moroccan delicacies. Your guide will provide great recommendations.
4. Return to Casablanca and Iconic Visits (2 Hours 30 Minutes)
After lunch, we return to Casablanca and visit the city's two most important landmarks:
Hassan II Mosque: We visit this magnificent structure, one of the largest mosques in the world. Rising above the ocean with its 210-meter minaret and incredible architecture, it will leave you in awe. If you wish to explore the interior, your guide will assist you (entry tickets are not included; tours are held at specific times).
Rick's Café: We make a short photo stop at the legendary Rick's Café, inspired by the classic "Casablanca" film. We will see this famous venue with its nostalgic atmosphere and unique design from the outside (the café closes at 3 PM and reopens at 6:30 PM, so only an exterior visit is possible).
