More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The morning starts before the medina fully wakes: your driver pulls up in an air-conditioned vehicle at 08:00, and Fez falls away as you drive west across the semi-arid plain toward the Atlantic. Rolling fields and occasional olive groves give way to the broad Bouregreg estuary where Rabat’s skyline—Hassan Tower and the white ramparts of the Udayas—cuts a clean line against the sky.

Cobblestones, uneven ruins, and narrow kasbah lanes require supportive footwear with good traction.
Respect prayer times and sites
Modest dress is expected at religious monuments; be discreet when photographing people inside the medina.
Comfortable walking shoes
Supportive shoes handle cobbles, stairs and uneven archaeological sites.
