• 1Sadly missed

  The meeting point was too vague. We had no cell number to contact the guide plus we walked all around for 1.5 hrs to find the guide but never did so we left

• 3Great tour! Initial mix-up was resolved quickly. Our guide was knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and engaging.

  Great tour! Mix-up fixed fast. Knowledgeable guide, but rushed stops and uneven organization.

• 5Informative

  We had a great time walking about Rabat with Ayoub! He was knowledgeable about the history of Rabat and tailored the tour to our interests. He also spent more time with us than expected. We would definitely recommend him again to anyone visiting Morocco!

• 5Great walking tour with Ayoub

  Ayoub is a fantastic guide for a walking tour. He has extensive knowledge of the social, cultural and political history of Morocco and specifically Rabat. He gave a really interesting and thorough introduction to the city and country. A perfect way to start my trip to Morocco!

  Good guide. Very knowledgeable. Answered all questions in an unrushed way. We wouldn’t have been able to appreciate Rabat properly without all the information he gave us.

About Rabat

Rabat is Morocco's calm Atlantic capital, with a hilltop kasbah, a medieval tower, a royal mausoleum, Roman ruins at Chellah and a river-mouth beach.

Rabat lies on the Atlantic coast at the mouth of the Bou Regreg river, facing its twin city Salé across the water. The Kasbah of the Udayas, a 12th-century fortress with blue-and-white lanes and an Andalusian garden, stands on the cliff above the river mouth. Nearby, the Hassan Tower is the unfinished minaret of a mosque begun in 1195, surrounded by rows of broken columns. The mausoleum of Mohammed V, guarded by horsemen, stands opposite.
