Welcome to magical Morocco! Upon your arrival at Casablanca Airport (CMN) or your designated accommodation, you’ll be warmly greeted by a representative from Morocco Getaway. Get ready to embark on the most incredible adventure of your life as we journey to Rabat, the current capital of Morocco. The drive will take approximately 1.5 hours, and upon arrival, you’ll have the remainder of the day to explore.
Begin your exploration with a visit to the Hassan Tower, a historical landmark that has remained incomplete since 1199. Commissioned by Abu Yusuf Yaqub al-Mansur, the tower was originally intended to be the minaret for the world’s largest mosque. Unfortunately, the project was abandoned upon the sultan’s passing in 1199. The site now features partial outer walls, 348 columns, and a minaret standing at half of its intended height, reaching 140 feet instead of the planned 260 feet.
Adjacent to the Hassan Tower is the Mohammed V Mausoleum, an architectural masterpiece in the Alaouite style. The mausoleum houses the tombs of Mohammed V, the current king’s grandfather, along with the king’s father, Hassan II, and his uncle, Prince Abdallah. Admire the elegance of the white walls and green-tiled roof as you explore this historical site. Spend the night in Rabat, immersing yourself in the rich cultural atmosphere of the city.
