Your exploration begins at the Royal Palace, a grand complex reflecting Morocco’s regal architecture. Continue to Hassan Tower, an unfinished minaret from the 12th century that dominates Rabat’s skyline. Facing it stands the Mausoleum of Mohammed V, an architectural masterpiece housing the tombs of the late king and his two sons. Its green-tiled dome and intricate carvings embody Moroccan artistry.

After a leisurely lunch at a local restaurant (not included), continue to Chellah, a hauntingly beautiful necropolis that merges Roman and Islamic ruins amid lush gardens. Storks nest above ancient columns, adding to the site’s timeless atmosphere.
