Next is a visit to the Mausoleum of Mohammad V, constructed between 1961 and 1971. The mausoleum features Islamic architecture with white onyx tombs beneath a large dome. After about an hour’s drive, guests view the Royal Palace of Rabat from outside.

The tour continues with a 10-minute ride to Chellah, a historical site that includes ancient ruins and gardens dating back to the Almohad dynasty.
