The experience

A private journey, thoughtfully arranged

Start from your Rabat accommodation and spend the day within the capital. Chellah provides the archaeological chapter, followed by the Hassan Tower and Mausoleum precinct. A private vehicle with a separate driver links these areas, while your guide gives the visits continuity and adjusts walking time to your interests.

After an optional lunch pause at your own expense, explore the Kasbah of the Udayas and its public gardens and viewpoints where accessible. The day returns to Rabat; it is distinct from the existing Casablanca departure. The programme does not promise a Royal Palace interior visit. Site access and the selected Chellah admission must be confirmed for your date.

Itinerary

How your experience unfolds

Stop 1

Rabat pickup

Begin at the agreed Rabat pickup and review the order of stops around opening hours and the party's pace. The private vehicle links the principal sites, with walking within each public area. Confirm any onward train or appointment now so the guide can preserve a sensible return rather than rush the final stop.

Stop 2

Chellah visit

Visit Chellah using the standard admission listed in the package, when the site is open. Explore the archaeological setting and gardens along the permitted route, with the guide explaining the layers of Rabat's history. Expect uneven paths and some steps; access restrictions or closures may change the route within the visit.

Stop 3

Hassan Tower and Mausoleum precinct

Continue to Hassan Tower and the Mausoleum area to understand the unfinished mosque and the modern royal memorial. Dress respectfully and follow the access rules in force on the day. The programme covers permitted visitor areas rather than a guarantee of entry during ceremonies, religious restrictions or temporary security closures.

Stop 4

Lunch pause

Pause for lunch at your own expense before the afternoon walk. Choose a meal and pace that leave time for the Udayas visit and return journey. Restaurant purchases and drinks are separate unless listed; the guide can help with practical choices without making a particular venue a compulsory part of the tour.

Stop 5

Udayas and return

Explore the public lanes, garden areas and coastal views of the Kasbah of the Udayas as access allows. This final section combines the city’s fortified history with time to enjoy its river and sea setting. Return to the agreed Rabat location. The Royal Palace interior and unlisted intercity transfers are not included.

Private tour of Casablanca for up to 16 people

We had an an amazing tour with Hesham. Our cruise had changed our port dates around and Ayoub organized one of his colleagues to help us out!
Hesham communicated very well where we would meet and had our transportation ready to meet us! With a big party of 8 it was perfect. He was conscientious on our time and we never felt rushed. We asked for a traditional Moroccan meal for lunch and it he was able to get us in to a fantastic restaurant. He was knowledgeable and detailed with the history of Casablanca. I would recommend his tour to anyone!

Casablanca Jewish Heritage And Highlights

Ayoub was an outstanding guide, customizing a full day tour of Casablanca with a focus on Jewish sites. He created a fabulous day for our group. Highest recommendation!

7 day Moroccan Tour

Overall, our 7 day Moroccan tour was outstanding to say the least . We were able to see the imperial cities except for Meknes, experience the food , the culture , the beautiful mosques , and taking a walk at their bustling medinas and souks. We also got to experience the exhilarating hot air balloon, and camel ride, had a wonderful dinner and watch belly dancers do their exotic dancing and get to take thousand of beautiful pictures! I would like to thank our tour guide Mr Ayoub for making all these possible. He worked so hard, making arrangements for our bags , carrying our heavy luggage’s coordinating with hotel staff , since we did our own hotel booking and never once complained. He gave us restaurant recommendations and they were beyond excellent too. He allowed my group, freedom to take as much pictures as they want to, shop as long as we want. Thank you Mr Ayoub ! It was an amazing experience and a vacation to remember for the rest of our lives . Please thank our wonderful driver Mr Khalid too.
