Originally the palace of Alawite sultans, it is today one of the multiple palaces or royal residences of the “imperial cities” (dars el makhzen). This is the case of the Skhirat Palace, where an attempted coup d'état took place during the time of King Hassan II. Nowadays, the Royal Palace of Rabat is considered more of an administrative building, in fact, King Mohammed VI (son of Hassan II) does not reside there[1]. It is in this palace that the seat of government is located.

Casablanca Weekend
Casablanca tour was awesome! 🙌 Our driver Mohamed and guide Arafa were fantastic. Driver was chill, super safe, and always on time. Our guide really knew his stuff — took us to the Hassan II Mosque of course, but also some cool spots off the beaten path that most tourists miss. Great vibes the whole time, lots of fun stories and tips. Everything ran smoothly, zero stress. Would 100% recommend if you’re heading to Casablanca and want a good local to show you around!

Thank you, Arafa, for sharing your knowledge and making our sightseeing experience so interesting, and thank you, Mohamed, for taking such good care of our comfort and making our journeys so pleasant. We truly appreciate your time, professionalism, and hospitality!

via Tripadvisor
The trip was awesome. Rabat has a great historical representation. The people are friendly and helpful.
Rabat: Where Morocco’s Past Meets the Atlantic I recently had an opportunity to attend a Conference in Rabat, Morocco. I got a chance to visit the city. The name Rabat originates from the Arabic word “Ribat” which means a fortified monastery, military camp or frontier fortress. Historically this term was used describe fortified areas in the Islamic world. People from religious world, soldiers, and scholars lived here to defend the territories. Historically Morocco had four “capital cities” at various times and traditionally it is associated with Rabat is the capital city of Morocco, but historically Morocco has had multiple “capital cities” at different times. Traditionally, Morocco is connected with four Imperial Cities and hence it is popular dictum to say that Morocco has four capitals-Fez, Marrakesh, Meknes and Rabat. Rabat officially became the modern administrative capital in 1912 during the French Protectorate Kasbah of the Udayas overlooks the mouth of the Bouregreg River and the Atlantic Ocean and represents history and known for its cultural landmarks. Its origins dates back to the 15th century when Abu Yusuf Yaqub al-Mansur the ruler from Almohad Caliphate built it as a fortified city to not only protect the city but also to access the Bouregreg River. The Kasbah not only signifies a representation of Islamic and military architecture but it also houses residential quarters, fortified walls and gates which shows and speaks of a well-designed urban planning and artistically built structures by Moroccan dynasties. The panoramic view is breathtaking and is recognised by the UNESCO World Heritage Centre as part of the city’s World Heritage landscape. The Bab Oudaia is a monumental gate and includes intricate carvings, patterns which are geometric and huge arches which typically represents the artistic intricacy of the period. History reveals that during the 17th century Kasbah became the haven for the Moriscos who were the Muslims expelled from Spain after the Reconquista. The refugees brought with them their unique architectural styles, crafts, music, gardens and urban traditions which intensely affected the presence of Rabat. The white-and-blue painted houses and narrow streets seen today reflect this Andalusian heritage. The name Salé originates from the old settlements known as Sala during the Roman and pre-Islamic periods. The name Salé has ancient origins and is believed to derive from the old settlement known as “Sala” during the Roman and pre-Islamic periods. Primarily it is interpreted as a rocky or elevated place, fortified location and a settlement near water. The significance of Salé’s coastal position made it a key maritime city involved in trade, defense, and naval activity. It also came be known as a strong Atlantic port during the pirate era. Today it signifies a connection between old and new Morocco by showcasing its importance as a trade centre and maritime activities along the Atlantic coast. The elaborate and magnificent architecture includes the medina which has souks (markets), hammams (bathhouses), madrasas (schools) and mosques. The twin cities of Sale and medina reflect Morocco’s layered blend of Islamic, Andalusian, African, and modern influences. As a metropolitan area it focusses on increasing the economy of the country through trade, commerce, housing, education and tourism. Due to its proximity to Rabat it represents both as a historic city and modern urban centre. As a historic centre of religion, culture, maritime heritage Salé is an important city and bears the Moroccan identity. The Medina which reflects centuries of Moroccan, Islamic, Andalusian, and coastal heritage is located near the Atlantic coast and close to the Kasbah of the Udayas. History comments that the word “Medina” originated from the Arabic word “Madīnah” which identifies city or town. As a matter of fact it is associated with ideas of social order, governance, community life and civilization. The word Medina not only found its connection Saudi Arabia but also became known for its urban settlement representing Islamic civilization. The difference between other Medinas in Fez or Marrakesh was that the Medina in Rabat was represented as a unique blend of cultural and strategic importance through its military and cultural centres. The cute and clean winding lanes are dotted with little shops which exhibits crafts, like tiles, bowls, vases which are etched with traditional and geometric designs which includes floral Islamic designs. One can see carpets of different sizes with beautiful designs and patterns with the weaving styles reflecting Berber and Andalusian influences. Most of the shops are drapes with traditional clothing, wool that is woven and embroidered. Furniture like doors, screens, window panels and decorative boxes are displayed in cute shops with embedded carvings. Fine floral and geometric carvings are important features of Moroccan architecture and interior decoration. Leather items are also an important product and this craftsmanship and tanning goes way back to many centuries. Traditional tanning techniques are used to produce belts, slippers (babouches), wallets, jackets, bags to name a few. The Zellige tile work is very famous and has mosaic tile art which is very intricate and colourful. These tiles have geometric patterns and are hand-cut into small coloured tiles by skilled craftsmen. They are used in mosques, palaces, homes, walls on street and fountains. Another important craft is usage of straws from palm leafs and reeds. They are woven as hats, baskets, baskets using Moroccan traditions and knowledge. Some shops produced traditional perfumes and herbal products which included perfumes, oils spices, henna and cosmetics. The crafts continue to remain symbols of Moroccan identity and link modern society with centuries-old traditions of creativity and craftsmanship. It also supports livelihood and attracts tourism. Today the craftsmanship includes the economy with several artisan guilds. Dr. Annapoorna Ravichander An avid traveller, blogger and an Independent Consultant based in Bengaluru

Why this scores 85
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private day trip to Rabat from Casablanca: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Casablanca.
How much does Private day trip to Rabat from Casablanca cost?
+
Prices start at $50 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Casablanca usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private day trip to Rabat from Casablanca take?
+
Plan for about 7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Casablanca is not rushed.
Is Private day trip to Rabat from Casablanca worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 85 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 283 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Casablanca, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private day trip to Rabat from Casablanca?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Private day trip to Rabat from Casablanca suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 1. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 7-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Private day trip to Rabat from Casablanca?
+
Around 99 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Casablanca can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Casablanca and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private day trip to Rabat from Casablanca start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Casablanca within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Casablanca?
+
On Outty we rank every Casablanca experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Casablanca Half-day Guided Tour with Hassan II mosque ticket, Private Guided Tour of Casablanca Including Mosque Entrance, Fez Guided Tour with lunch from Casablanca. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Casablanca?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Casablanca?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
