The journey follows the Atlantic coast, passing olive groves and small villages en route to Kenitra and Rabat, before the landscape becomes increasingly urban as we approach Morocco’s largest city. We visit the impressive Hassan II Mosque, dramatically positioned above the ocean and one of the largest mosques in the world.
Day 4 - Casablanca to Rabat
Casablanca - Rabat. We take a slower train to Rabat, Morocco’s capital. On arrival, we enjoy a guided tour of the city, including the Chellah - a historic site combining Roman and medieval ruins - and the Kasbah des Oudayas, with its white and blue Andalusian-style houses overlooking the Atlantic.
