Experience this day with local hosts

Rabat from Fes is a commitment to the highway. We run it for travelers who specifically want the capital — gardens, mausoleum, blue-and-white kasbah — and who accept a long day. Otherwise, see Rabat on a Casablanca-start tour.

Itinerary

Day1

Fes to Rabat day trip: Udayas, Hassan Tower & coast

Approx. driving time: Approx. 210 km each way

An early start for a full day in the capital: Kasbah of the Udayas, the Andalusian gardens, Hassan Tower, the mausoleum, and if time allows the Chellah necropolis or a walk on the Atlantic beach at Sale’s opposite shore.

Rabat is cleaner, greener and more spacious than Fes; the contrast is the point. We return in the evening. This day is long on the highway, so it suits travelers who specifically want the capital rather than another mountain loop.
