Itinerary
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.
After exploring Rabat, start your journey back to Fes, taking into account the travel time.

About Fez
Fez is Morocco's old imperial capital and cultural heart, with a vast walled medina of lanes, souks, tanneries and medieval religious schools.
Fes el-Bali, the old medina, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a living medieval city where donkeys and handcarts still carry goods through narrow lanes. Its best-known gateway, the Bab Bou Jeloud with its blue and green tiles, leads into a maze of souks, fountains and old caravanserais.
