Walking tours in Rabat give you a local’s look at Morocco’s under-appreciated capital. The best options focus on either the historic Medina or the city’s fascinating food scene.
Our favorite walk is the half-day Medina guided tour – it’s well-paced and covers the essential sights without overwhelming you. For something more personal, the private cultural walking tour lets you set the pace while exploring both ancient corners and French colonial districts.
Food lovers should consider the local food discovery tour, where you’ll sample traditional Moroccan treats and learn about daily market life. These are our top picks for experiencing Rabat up close…
