Itinerary
Day 1
Full private tour following the Bokun agenda items with comfortable pacing and accessible stops.
Hotel pickup — meet your driver & guide
Your private driver (Mercedes Vito or equivalent) and guide will meet you at your hotel lobby and help with boarding. Please be ready in the lobby 10–15 minutes before the scheduled departure time.
Tips from local experts:
- Ask the driver to park as close to the hotel entrance as traffic allows — it minimizes walking and stairs.
- Confirm which door the driver will wait at (main entrance or valet) when you book to avoid searching the lobby.
- Elevators and ramps are available at most central hotels in Rabat (for example Hotel Le Diwan). If you need extra assistance, inform the operator when booking.
Hassan Tower & Mausoleum of Mohammed V — short accessible visit
Visit Rabat's iconic Hassan Tower and the adjacent mausoleum. The mausoleum interior is accessible and provides seating; your guide will explain the history while you sit if needed.
Tips from local experts:
- The Mausoleum of Mohammed V has level access and benches inside — request a seat if standing is difficult.
- Wear modest, comfortable clothing for indoor mausoleum access; shoes are fine (no removal required).
- Arrive early to avoid crowds; paths around the tower are paved and short, but some areas have small level changes — use the guide to choose the easiest route.
Kasbah des Oudayas — gentle stroll through the blue‑and‑white alleys
Enjoy a relaxed walk through the Kasbah's famous lanes and the Andalusian gardens with panoramic Atlantic views. The guide will lead you along the easiest, mostly level paths.
Tips from local experts:
- Some alleys are paved with cobbles — bring supportive shoes and take the wider, smoother alleys the guide suggests.
- There are shaded benches and garden seating in the Andalusian Gardens for regular rests.
- If you use a wheelchair or walker, the guide will take the slightly wider entrance route used by local accessibility services.
Short tea break at Café Maure (Kasbah) — rest & refreshments
Sit down for mint tea and a light pastry on the shaded terrace of the Kasbah’s traditional café. This break is timed to rest between walking segments.
Tips from local experts:
- Ask for a table in the shaded terrace area — better ventilation and easier access for mobility aids.
- Request a low‑sugar or decaffeinated option if you have dietary needs; staff are used to accommodating seniors.
- There are reachable restroom facilities near the terrace; the guide will point them out before you sit down.
Royal Palace — exterior viewpoint & photo stop
Drive to the main entrance of the Royal Palace and admire its ornate gates and architecture from the public viewpoint. Short stop for photos; no interior visit required.
Tips from local experts:
- Security limits how close visitors can get — the guide will position the vehicle for the smoothest, accessible photo spot.
- The viewing area is flat and step‑free — ideal for guests who prefer to stay seated in the vehicle while taking in the view.
- Bring a light scarf or jacket in April mornings — the palace area can be breezy; benches are available nearby for a short rest.
Chellah — peaceful ruins & gardens (easy walking route)
Explore the serene Chellah necropolis with its Roman ruins, lush gardens and stork nests. The site offers a restful atmosphere and many shaded spots for pauses.
Tips from local experts:
- Paths at Chellah are a mix of compact earth and stone — the guide will take the most level, shaded circuit and point out benches.
- Bring a hat and sunscreen for the short exposed stretches; April usually offers mild sun but UV protection is still wise.
- There are toilet facilities near the entrance; if mobility is limited, ask the guide for the closest accessible entrance route.
Return to hotel — drop‑off and end of tour
Relax on the short drive back while the driver takes you to your original pickup location or another agreed drop‑off point in Rabat.
Tips from local experts:
- If you need help with luggage or steps at the hotel entrance, ask the guide to assist before exiting the vehicle.
- Confirm the drop‑off door with the driver (valet or main entrance) so staff can help you immediately.
- If you’d like to extend the tour with a relaxed accessible lunch nearby, ask your guide — they can recommend calm restaurants with senior‑friendly seating.
