Casamémoire Heritage Visits
The Casablanca heritage association founded in 1995 to protect the city's 20th-century architecture, offering guided visits, thematic circuits and the annual Heritage Days.
A private day trip from Casablanca to Rabat with hotel pickup and a licensed guide, visiting the Hassan Tower, the Mausoleum of Mohammed V and the Kasbah of the Oudayas.
Good to know
Rabat, Morocco's capital, lies a short drive north of Casablanca along the coast, and this private day trip by Local Morocco Tours is an easy way to see its main monuments without organising transport yourself. The company, a licensed Moroccan operator working since 2012, collects you from your hotel or riad in Casablanca at 08:00 and returns you in the evening, with a driver and a licensed local guide for the day.
In Rabat, the guide leads you to the city's best-known sights: the Hassan Tower, the Mausoleum of Mohammed V, the Kasbah of the Oudayas and the old medina. The Chellah can be added to the itinerary if you would like to see more. Your guide explains the history of each site as you go, and the private format means you can spend longer where something catches your interest and move on more quickly elsewhere.
The trip is private, in an air-conditioned vehicle, with fuel and motorway tolls included. Guides and drivers speak English, French or Spanish, and other languages can be requested. Lunch, drinks, entrance fees and tips are not included, so bring cash in dirhams for these. The price is given on request, depending on group size and options, so contact the company in advance by phone or email to arrange the date.
This tour suits couples, families and small groups who want a relaxed, flexible day out with a guide, and it works well for travellers based in Casablanca who would otherwise not see the capital. It involves a full day of travel and walking, so wear comfortable shoes and bring a hat in summer. Modest clothing is appropriate for the mausoleum. If you have a particular interest, such as architecture or royal history, mention it when you book so the guide can tailor the day, and keep a little extra cash for drinks and snacks.
A day in Rabat is a good complement to Casablanca, showing a different side of the country from its commercial capital. Back in Casablanca in the evening, you can round off the day with dinner at one of the city's restaurants or a drink on the Corniche.
Pickup from your hotel in Casablanca is at 08:00, with return in the evening.
