Ever since the 12th century, Rabat has played an important role in the history of Morocco. Beginning in 1146, the city was transformed into a massive fortress and utilized as a port to launch attacks on neighboring regions. The Medina of Rabat is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is also the site of the ruins of an unfinished mosque that – as originally planned – would have been the largest in the world.

Through the centuries, Rabat served as one of the many ports in North Africa for Barbary pirates, and they were particularly active in the port from the 16th through the 18th centuries; the history of their presence is fascinating and resonates to this day. Besides its interesting history, Rabat is also an excellent city for shopping with a number of curios, craft-shops and marketplaces throughout the city. With your private driver and English-speaking guide catering to your needs and interests, your city tour of Rabat is sure to be fun, informative and engaging.

In antiquity, Volubilis was an important Roman town situated near the westernmost border of Roman Empire. It was built on the site of a previous Carthaginian settlement from the third century BC.

Volubilis was the administrative center of the province in Roman Africa called Mauretania Tingitana. The fertile lands of the province produced many commodities such as grain and olive oil, which were exported to Rome, contributing to the province's wealth and prosperity. Discover the Imperial city of Meknes known as the “Moroccan Versailles.”  Meknes was founded in the 17th century by King Moulay Ismail. It is famous for its 25-mile-long walls.
