The experience

The tour starts with hotel pickup in Casablanca and heads to Rabat, where you'll pass the Hassan II Mosque before reaching the Hassan Tower: a 44-meter minaret built in the 12th century during the Almohad dynasty, decorated with intricate calligraphy and geometric patterns. After about an hour of driving, you arrive at the Mausoleum of Mohammed V, a grand Islamic structure completed in 1971 with white onyx tombs beneath a large dome and marble work carried out by Moroccan artisans.

From there, the route takes you to the Royal Palace, built in 1864 and still the official residence of Morocco's king. You'll view it from outside and explore the surrounding gardens. A short drive brings you to Chellah, a historical site with ancient ruins, beautiful gardens, and a famous gateway dating back to the Almohad dynasty. You'll then walk the ancient sandstone walls of the Medina, a UNESCO site reinforced with bastions and towers, before entering the Kasbah of the Udayas, a 12th-century citadel known for its narrow streets, white and blue walls, flower-filled courtyards, and small houses.

The Andalusian Garden, built in the early 20th century by French architect Jean-Claude Forestier, closes the tour: a peaceful space with a central reflecting pool, orange trees, fountains, and ornate tilework blending Islamic and Spanish influences. A lunch break is built into the schedule at Marina Salé, though meals aren't included and typically run €10–€20. Your vehicle is equipped with WiFi and phone chargers, and the guide speaks English, French, or Arabic depending on your preference.
