🗺️ Your Night Itinerary

01. Evening Pickup & The Golden Age Your tour begins with a private pickup from your hotel. We start at the Hassan Tower and the Mohammed V Mausoleum. In the evening, the white marble and intricate carvings are bathed in a soft golden light, offering a peaceful atmosphere for photography.

02. Ancient Walls & The Kasbah Next, we drive past the imposing walls of Chellah before heading to the Oudaya Kasbah. Walking through the Kasbah’s gate at night feels like stepping back in time. You’ll explore the quiet, lantern-lit streets and enjoy a view of the Atlantic Ocean from the terrace.

03. The Bouregreg Boat Experience The highlight of the evening is a descent to the riverbank. You’ll board a small traditional boat for a quiet cruise on the Bouregreg. From the water, you’ll see the reflection of the city lights and the twin views of Rabat and its sister city, Salé—a perspective few tourists ever experience.

04. Return in Comfort After your boat ride, your private vehicle will be waiting to escort you back to your hotel, or your guide can recommend a top local spot for a late-night Moroccan dinner.

🗣️ Why Choose Rabat by Night?

Rabat is a different city after dark. The heat fades, the crowds thin, and the historical monuments become a stage for light and shadow. By choosing a private night tour, you avoid the daytime heat and experience the capital’s “gastronomy and soul” at a relaxed pace. With our included boat ride, you gain a unique vantage point of the city’s coastal beauty that most land-based tours miss.
