“An absolute must!! - We personally loved Rabat even more than Casablanca, and we were not even planning on visiting Rabat. What an absolute gem! From the gardens to the ocean…it was one beautiful site after the next! Our favorite was inside the Chellah. It was breathtaking: from all the history, the gardens, and the scenic views from inside the walls. Well worth $7. Our tour guide Khawla topped it off. What an utterly delightful human being. She is like a ray of sunshine, so patient, so informative. We could not recommend this trip more!” - Reviewed on 2025-04-11
