Duration: Around 13 to 14 hours
Looking for an unforgettable cultural journey in just one day? This Rabat & Casablanca Day Trip from Marrakech is the perfect way to explore Morocco’s rich coastal history without hassle.
Start the day early with pickup at your accommodation in Marrakech in a comfortable, air-conditioned private vehicle. Your English-speaking driver will take you along the scenic Atlantic route toward Rabat, the capital of Morocco.
In Rabat, you’ll visit:
- Hassan Tower, an unfinished minaret from the 12th century and an important symbol of Moroccan heritage.
- The peaceful Kasbah of the Oudayas, a white-and-blue fortress by the sea with Andalusian gardens and beautiful coastal views.
- The ancient ruins of the Chellah Necropolis, where Roman and Islamic architecture blend with wild nature.
After exploring Rabat, head to Casablanca, where you’ll stop at the stunning Hassan II Mosque — one of the world’s largest mosques, beautifully built over the Atlantic Ocean. You can choose to enter the mosque (entry not included) or enjoy views from outside.
Throughout the journey, your driver will share helpful insights and can tailor the pacing of the day to your preferences.
