Sept 4th
Kasbah of the Udayas
Historic fortress at the mouth of the Bou Regreg river. Known for its blue-and-white streets, quiet atmosphere, and ocean views. Includes the Andalusian Gardens and a traditional café overlooking the Atlantic.
Hassan Tower
An unfinished 12th-century minaret, originally intended to be the largest mosque in the world. Surrounded by rows of stone columns, it’s one of Rabat’s most iconic landmarks.
Mausoleum of Mohammed V
A beautifully crafted royal mausoleum housing King Mohammed V. Features white marble, intricate tilework, and ceremonial guards, representing modern Moroccan craftsmanship.
Chellah
Ancient Roman and medieval ruins set in lush gardens. Known for its peaceful atmosphere and stork nests atop the ruins. Ideal for a relaxed walk.
Rabat Medina / Souk
Traditional market area with a more relaxed, less touristy feel than Marrakech. Good for browsing local crafts, leather goods, textiles, and souvenirs.
Plage de Rabat / Rabat Beach
Walk along the coastline (sunset is ideal)
Light swimming (conditions vary—Atlantic waves can be strong)
Beginner-friendly surf lessons often available nearby
Casual beachfront cafés for drinks or lunch
For a slightly quieter option, beaches just south of the hotel (toward Harhoura) offer a more relaxed setting.
Andalusian Gardens
Located inside the Kasbah of the Udayas, these are small but very refined gardens with palm-lined paths, fountains, and shaded seating. Quiet, well-kept, and ideal for a short stop while visiting the Kasbah.
