Best Rabat Day Trip from Tangier

Discover Morocco’s UNESCO-listed capital on a full-day private excursion with Hampstead Tours. Travel directly from Tangier to Rabat in comfort and explore the city’s most emblematic landmarks with a local guide who will share the culture, history and daily life of this elegant administrative capital.

After morning pickup from your hotel or riad in Tangier, drive along the highway to Rabat where you’ll meet your private guide. Begin with a stroll through the white-washed lanes of the 11th-century Oudayas Kasbah overlooking the Bou Regreg River and the Atlantic Ocean, and admire the Andalusian Gardens built by Sultan Moulay Ismail. Continue through the vibrant Medina to reach the Mohammed V Mausoleum and the adjacent Hassan Tower, Rabat’s iconic landmark.

Visit (or view from the outside) the Mechouar, the Royal Palace complex where the King resides, and, if you wish, include stops at the Archaeological Museum and the Chellah Necropolis before returning to Tangier in the late afternoon.
