Your guide will enrich the experience by sharing tales of the kasbah’s history, its strategic significance, and its impact on the city’s culture. This private tour, far beyond a simple sightseeing excursion, offers an intimate understanding of Rabat’s heritage and the vibrant life that flourishes within its historic walls.

Spain-Morocco-Portugal: Our family just returned from a memorable trip to Spain, Morocco and Portugal - organized by Emily at Guided Spain Tours. I must say that I asked Emily to fill our days with enough activities to keep my active husband, daughter and her boyfriend busy but I wanted no stress or family fighting in traveling from place to place. Emily totally delivered! She arranged drivers to and from airports, trains and even a ferry plus had daily activities or day trips for us from cooking classes, wine tastings, food tours, sailing excursions, Fado concert, Flamenco show to full day tours visiting castles, cathedrals, and beautiful cities. She even coordinated an extended trip to Morocco for us. Everything went smoothly, we had wonderful drivers and guides, and we all had a great time! I appreciated that Emily stayed in daily contact to ensure everything was going smoothly. I highly recommend Emily and Guided Spain Tours!

Hassan Tower, Rabat, Morocco

Embark on a guided tour of two of Rabat’s most iconic landmarks – the Hassan Tower and the Mausoleum of Mohammed V. The unfinished Hassan Tower, a mammoth testament to the city’s historic aspirations, stands tall amidst a field of columns, a striking vision against Rabat’s skyline.

Your expert guide will delve into the history behind this 12th-century minaret, offering fascinating insights into its architectural significance and the mystery surrounding its incomplete status.

A stone’s throw away, the Mausoleum of Mohammed V provides a stark contrast with its pristine white walls and emerald-green tiled roof. As you explore this opulent resting place of the beloved Moroccan king and his sons, your guide will discuss its history and Mohammed V’s role in Moroccan independence. The intricacies of the beautiful traditional Moroccan craftsmanship, seen in the fine zellige tilework and carved cedar wood, will leave you in awe.

From the architectural marvels to the captivating stories they house, this guided tour offers a rich immersion into Rabat’s royal history and its unique blend of Andalusian and Moorish aesthetics. Get ready to be swept away by the timeless allure of these historic landmarks.

Mohammed VI Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art

Our next destination is the Mohammed VI Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, the first large-scale museum built in Morocco since independence. Its fascinating collection spans multiple eras and genres, showcasing the diversity and evolution of Moroccan art.

Our 15-day Southern Spain tour - Amazing! It's so hard to come back to reality after experiencing a Guided Spain Tour! Emily arranged a tour for my husband and myself for cities in Southern Spain (Madrid, Toledo, Cordoba, Seville, Jerez de la Frontera, the White Villages and Ronda, Malaga, hiking the Caminito del Rey, and Granada). In addition, we traveled one day to Tangiers, Morocco and Gibraltar, then spending our last 4 days in Barcelona and visiting surrounding cities. It was an amazing trip, which provided professional, private drivers and fantastic, well-informed guides for all of the cities and activities. In addition, Emily was constantly in touch with us during the entire trip to make sure everything was going well. We could go on and on about all of the very special experiences we had, and will definitely use Guided Spain Tours for other trips in Spain, Portugal and Morocco. Our only wish is that Emily would also do tours worldwide!
