Private Capital Day Trip From Fes to Rabat

A day trip from Fes to Rabat promises a captivating exploration of Morocco’s capital. Begin your journey by visiting the historic Kasbah of the Udayas, with its charming labyrinth of streets and Andalusian gardens. Nearby, the Hassan Tower and Mausoleum of Mohammed V showcase the nation’s architectural elegance and historical significance. While you can only admire the exterior, the Royal Palace of Rabat stands as an impressive testament to the country’s monarchy. The Chellah Necropolis offers a mesmerizing blend of ancient Roman ruins and medieval Muslim heritage, set amidst tranquil gardens. Optional stops can include wandering Rabat’s bustling medina or unwinding at the Kasbah Chellah Marina with views of the Atlantic. This day trip, while not comprehensive, provides a delightful taste of Rabat’s culture, history, and coastal charm.

Start your day early to make the most of your time in Rabat. Fes is approximately 197 kilometers (122 miles) from Rabat, and the journey by car takes around two to three hours.

Upon arriving in Rabat, head straight to the Kasbah of the Udayas, a historic and picturesque fortress located on the banks of the Bou Regreg River. Explore its narrow, winding streets, whitewashed buildings, and Andalusian gardens for a glimpse into Rabat’s past.

Next, visit the Hassan Tower, a minaret that was intended to be part of a grand mosque but never completed. Nearby, you’ll find the Mausoleum of Mohammed V, where the late King Mohammed V and his two sons are buried. The site is a remarkable example of Moroccan architectural elegance.

While you won’t be able to enter the Royal Palace, you can visit its exterior and marvel at its grand architecture and impressive gates.

Explore the Chellah Necropolis, an ancient Roman site turned into a medieval Muslim burial ground. The site is filled with ruins and serene gardens, making it a peaceful and historically significant stop.

If time allows, you can wander through Rabat’s medina, with its bustling markets and traditional Moroccan atmosphere.
