Honestly great place, you must brave the cold water tho. There is food and snacks and coffee almost everywhere around and a bar in the middle of the water. The only issue I have is how you have to go get the mats for the beds and umbrellas in different places and sometimes far from where you sit.

Salty and really cold water. Goal is more staying in the sun then swimming pool. One you're through it is nice. For me: it took me one hour... 😁

Place looks nice, BUT!!! Zero service, people does not know even a word in english. I had to go to other side of park just to get the umbrella, no information at all about what is included to the ticket.

Very clean and super good pool. The price is very affordable

Wonderful September afternoon spent in a relaxing manner in the park. Fresh, clesn, quiet and sunny!

Very good pool

Beautiful pools and views of the Mediterranean Sea

Definitely try to visit the wall inside. It’s something that you for sure don’t expect. I didn’t want to upload fotos because it can not present not even close how it is there..

stunning walls and clear blue waters

Beautiful place, the best in cueta, in my opinion.

We recently enjoyed a 10-night Western Mediterranean Cruise on the MSC Lirica sailing from Alicante (cost £420 each in January).  The sixth stop was Ceuta and from the port there was a short walk to all the main attractions including the Murallas Reales de Ceuta (Royal Walls of Ceuta).   The Royal Walls is a well maintained fort that dates back to the 16th century. At the fort there are lots of artefacts including cannons The fortress walls are divided by a moat that connects both the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean.  From the top of the moat there are fantastic views of the port, Mount Hacho (mountain) and the beaches Playa de la Ribera and Playa del Chorrillo. The Royal walls are surrounded by the historical city of Ceuta that has beautiful fountains, monuments (Hercules, Escultura Pedro Meneses, Escultura de Enrique el Navegant, Escultura del Alcalde Sanchez Prados and so on), gardens and squares including Plaza de Africa and Plaza de los Reyes. There are also a number of museums including the Military Museum of the Legion, Fuerte del Desnarigado fort and museum, the Museo del Revellín and the Museo de la Basilica Tardorromana. Other attractions include the Triumphal arch, the casino, the Cathedral, the House of Dragons,  Puerto Califal Fort, Ceuta Park Mall, the Shrine of Our Lady of Africa, the lighthouse Faro Punta Almin, the food market Mercado Central and Park San Amaro. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Ceuta, because we felt relaxed, the people were very friendly and there was so much to do and see We would definitely recommend a visit to both Ceuta and the Royal Walls.

Great place to visit we loved ceuta on our day visit off a cruise and especially in and around the Royal walls medieval but also lovely shops restaurants and bars its all there if you want it

Impressive set of fortificarions, built in the 1540s by the Portuguese.

Super cool! So much history to take in and enjoy. Excellent views.

Only visit if you pratice some kind of wind surf. Also there's poop in the beach from horses and dogs. Nevertheless, is really beautifull.

A wide, spacious beach on the ocean in Tarifa, but if you want a calm and sheltered spot, it’s best to visit Carbones 13. Besides great cocktails, they’ll serve you delicious food. There are also sunbeds available.

Stunning white clean sand and stretches on for miles. Loads of kite surfers (so not ideal if you don’t like wind)

Huge playa, very windy so perfect for water sports

The most wonderful place in the world

Endless stretch of sand full of Water Sports fanatics - mind all the bloody ropes/strings/kites /equipment laying around on the sand 🙄 - about two miles walkable dunes swept by wind and salty water. As for the wind, it blows so hard that you can't even have a conversation 😁 It's not an easy task but the shore is amazingly clean and the light blinding white, the water is green and blue and grey and has no end. There's a very crowded Bar, the only one in the whole beach so expect crazy prices but the views are unbelievable. Bring litres of Sun Protection, the sun is very unforgiving and there is no shelter of any shape or form.

Great beach! Wide and long with white sand 👍 Still windy so you dont feel the heat, which is great, but beeare of sunburn 😉 The best place to see the sunset in Tarifa 👍

This blue old medina was a marvelous experience. You gonna have to climb a few step and by a few steps I mean all the way. Everything is painted blue and white which is actually a color theme that you'll see all around the north of Morocco. A must see city.

i like this clean city

Took

Beautiful building and has a cultural load

wow

Neglected history

(Translated by Google) Very beautiful city on a human scale offering superb panoramas. We let ourselves be transported into the streets with a European style with a strong Spanish influence but also buildings with an Arab-Muslim style. One of my favorite cities in Morocco with Al Hoceima. The charm of towns located in mountainous terrain 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 (Original) Très belle ville à taille humaine proposant de superbes panoramas . On se laisse transporter dans les ruelles avec un style européen avec une forte influence espagnole mais également des édifices au style arabo-musulman . Une de Mes villes préférée du Maroc avec Al hoceima . Le charme des villes situées dans un relief montagneux 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Driving the coastal route from Málaga to Cádiz, Baelo Claudia provided a fascinating insight into the methods the Romans used for preserving fish, fishing for tuna, and producing ‘garum’ - a fish sauce delicacy. Managing to survive an earthquake and pirate raids, it stands as one of Spain’s most complete Roman towns. Efficient, clean set-up – well worth stopping off for.

Prepare yourself with information before visiting this place. It is a very powerful historical site, and if you are filled with knowledge of what happened there, you will gain unforgettable impressions and emotions from being there. It is very important to preserve such relics in order to have the opportunity to touch ancient history.

Lots to see, very well laid out. Interesting site thats right on the beach too.. Wrnt on a Sunday so the Museum was closed but could get access to the remainder of the site.

History is for me very important and can not leave without it. It’s everyone’s present and we need to embrace it. Baelo Claudia site is small and well kept. The government of Spain really does beautiful work to keep their heritage, weather is Roman, or Muslim heritage. Baelo Claudia was an ancient Roman town in Hispania, located 22 kilometres (14 mi) outside of Tarifa, near the village of Bolonia, in southern Spain. Situated on the shore of the Strait of Gibraltar, the town began as a fishing village and trading hub when it was settled approximately 2,000 years ago. Although a prosperous town at the time of Emperor Claudius, it went into a decline partially fueled by earthquakes and was abandoned by the 6th century

Truly a hidden gem in this part of Spain! We visited in the winter and it was so beautifully quiet despite the gorgeous sunny weather. Super cheap entry (particularly if you are an EU resident) and lots to look at and explore- just incredible to see the ruins of an old theatre and to picture what this place looked like so long ago. The museum is small but exquisitely curated, we learnt a lot and would love to come back to wander around again! So stunning right by the ocean, with all the lovely olive trees. There are places to have a picnic too, which I think is just so charming. Definitely recommend this place!

Nice location next to the beach. It’s free to visit for EU citizens. We came at 14:30 and we were constantly reminded by the staff that they were closing in 30.min (15:00)and we had to be “Rapido” 😅 A bit annoying but we still managed to hurry up and see the outside ruins. So be aware of the opening hours beforehand. There is a free parking outside the museum entrance. Worth the visit if you are passing by.

It's a beautiful place There's no admission fee

The sand on the beach is very nice and clean, and easy to find some nice sea shells as souvenirs.

What a beautiful place 😍

One of the best beaches in Spain. Period.

Great view

White sands, clear fresh sea, wide horizons! What else can you ask for?

Stunning place

Wonderful atmosphere and nature.

This place is like no other. Almost every wall is colored blue but it doesn't come across overpowering at all. The Medina is a old city quarter painted in different shades of blue, filled with street vendors of different kinds, and pathways paved with cobblestones. There is a courtyard filled with restaurants and their various other shops. Beautiful, breathtaking, and a must-visit in a life time.

This city is pretty, the bright blue colors everywhere and the boutiques are pretty colourful and the shop keeps are friendly. Many little allies and cute squares, a nice little walk towards the panoramic lookout points for the sunset and over looking the whole medina. Good place to visit, strongly recommended

This was a GREAT city and I’m so glad that I prioritized coming here during my trip. I flew from Marrakesh to Tanger (also because I needed to fly out of Tanger). From there, I booked a day trip. You can squeeze it into a day if you want but could easily split it into two so that you can really walk through everything and actually go up and see the river views etc.

Chefchaouen — The Blue Pearl of North Africa Visiting Chefchaouen was like stepping into another world. The moment we arrived, everything slowed down — the noise, the rush, the stress — and we found ourselves wandering through calm, blue-painted streets that looked straight out of a dream. Every corner of this town feels like a piece of art: deep shades of blue blending with white walls, colorful doors, and smiling locals passing by with a quiet dignity that’s rare to find. What struck us most was the atmosphere. Chefchaouen has this strange mix of peace and mystery. You can spend hours just walking with no particular plan, discovering tiny shops, hidden cafés, and rooftops with views over the Rif Mountains. Even though it’s small, it has layers — a rhythm that pulls you in and makes you forget time. The locals were incredibly kind. Several times people stopped just to give directions, suggest a good spot to eat, or share a story about the town. That warmth made the whole experience even richer. If you’re traveling through Morocco, Chefchaouen is absolutely a must-visit. It’s not just about the famous blue walls — it’s about how they make you feel. Peaceful, curious, and strangely connected to something timeless. We stayed two nights, and honestly, we didn’t want to leave.

The most magical Blue City in the world! Bucket list for all! The best time to explore without crowds is early morning right after sunrise. greeting sunsets at the Spanish mosque is a must, although be prepared for bugs😩😁

This is a beautiful town with very hospitable people. There aren't many sellers / hawkers constantly pestering you too but their wares, so you can really enjoy your stroll through town. We went later in the day when it cooled down a bit and there were fewer people in the streets.

Beautiful part of the medina, highly recommend visiting just for a day as it’s quite small and quite sufficient to do within a few hours. I will say that you may be hassled a lot like a few busy places in Morocco by local merchants. I was fortunate to visit at low tourist season so it was nice to see a lot of the area, but the impact of little tourists will find that you may get hassled more. Overall stunning views of an integral part of Morocco’s history. So I wouldn’t avoid this. Be wary some spots for iconic shorts are required a small fee from merchants. So look out for that I would say

It is really small. There are no English descriptions - and that's a pity. It's worth a visit just for the beautiful garden and the nice view from the tower. However, you can have such (and nicer) views for free elsewhere. I think the entrance fee is 100 MAD.

A relic of a once great era. A thing of the past. Very badly maintained. 80 Dh entrance fee should be used to maintain it to visitor-acceptable level. However peaceful, a little disappointing.

Not very interesting place. Entrance fee is high for tourists. The only thing that is interesting is the tower that you can climb and make pictures

The entrance is 60 Dh but there is nothing to see inside. The museum part is made up of 2-3 pictures and pots. You can go in on of the towers to get a view of the city but you can do the same from one of the many cafes or hostels with a rooftop terrace. The is extremely overprices.

Place is not very interesting, you can see it from the door. Price is 10Dh for moroccans and 70Dh for foreigners. Someone who pays the 70 are silly because is not worth it. If they would charge 20Dh or 30 Dh for foreigners they would have much more money because people would pay, but 70 is just abuse.

Nice small museum only in Arabic and Spanish disappointingly. But the toilets were free!

Unfortunately no English information - only in Arabic and Spanish. 60 MAD to enter museum and surrounding (average) garden: not worth it. Second star because there is a great view from the tower.

Worth visiting. For 30-40 DH you can visit the contemporary museum as well as the Kasbah and it’s gardens. Garden is a little gem in the city centre.

Beautiful historic place, well presented chronologically. The garden is pleasant with many plants, however, signs with the plant and tree names would have been useful, it's a shame there weren't any. Visited in early Sept and there was no café nor shop to be seen.

Worth the visit. It takes 30min to see but you can spend more time. The gardens are beautiful and they have good pieces of different history periods. Unfortunately it’s only in French and Arabic, we would strongly encourage them to add English. I would go back if so to be able to understand everything. The ticket was 30 dirhams each. The staff was very kind and flexible to let us visit everything even though they were closing

Very beautiful, good historical background, very well-organized, and you can enter both museums (Kasbah and Contemporary) with the same ticket.

This was a concise museum in a nice old palace. Admission fee was reasonable 50 dirhams. Nice artifacts from the region. I’d have liked a little more explanation of the groupings and the exhibit focus. Staff was helpful but did not speak much English or Spanish.

Exquisite, quiet respectful visitors, free to enter.

30 MAD person - access to both the Kasbah museum and Art museum. If you enjoy visiting the past, exploring maps & artefacts definitely worth a visit. Also a delightful view of the ocean & marina from the top.

The staff were friendly and nice. Location was ok – in the centre of medina. Room description: dark, ugly, with a smelly bathroom which looks like a prison. The bed was too soft, I had a back pain after sleeping on it. If you don’t care about this and your main purpose is to save some money on accommodation – book it. Maybe you can handle 1-2 nights. Small breakfast in the terrace with a view included.

The hotel was a traditional Hotel. The rooms was ok , clean and warm. The only problem was the outside toilet. Difficult through the night or for shower.. The hotel was in the centre of the old town Medina. For me too much traffic and noise but i didn't know about the life rhythms in the old town. The breakfast was basic but the choices of bread really good ! The staff was really very kind and helpful ! Was a nice stay in a good price.

Good location, kind and attentive staff, good and plentiful breakfast on the terrace. Rooms are okay - clean and affordable. Only issue really was we were in the room adjacent to the lobby and the first floor above the Medina alley, so it was quite noisy.

The rooms are just average. If you are a light sleeper. The doors are thin. Could hear everything outside the room. I did not sleep properly. The staff is amazing. Kindest people.

Perfectly located , nice and clean rooms. Kind and always helpful service. Good breakfast with fresh bakeries.

Nice, big room. Clean and well appointed. Fantastic rooftop terrace. Would stay again.

If you want an authentic, spotlessly clean hotel in a prime location 👌 the Tanger Medina is perfect for you. Nothing is too much trouble for the amazing staff. They are so special and kind. Breakfast is served on the roof terrace. It will take your breath away. Soothing background music and delicious fresh food and spectacular views of the Casbah and to the harbour. We are hoping to return one day 🙏 Right in the heart of the medina and the atmosphere is pure Tangiers.

This Legation was formed in the 1777s when USA just became a country and was recognized by Morocco. This place displayed many of the friendship materials over the ages. If you are an American, this place is worth a visit.

It was the unexpected highlight of my Tangier visit. Wonderful building and amazing history. Important Note: Entry Ticket is 50 Moroccan Dirham (about 5 euros) but they only accept Cash in dirhams. No euros or dollars. Morocco was the first country to recognize the fledgling US in 1777. The US signed its first ever international trade treaty with Morocco in 1786. The building was gift to the fledgling United States from the Sultan of Morocco in 1821, and the Tangier American Legation was a diplomatic mission and home for over 140 years, until 1957. The building is still owned by the U.S. Department of State and is America's oldest diplomatic property globally. It is the only U.S. National Landmark located overseas.

Fascinating! Great to see and read about the history between Morocco and the US. A living example of countries with completely different cultures respecting each other’s values. I love the way it is exactly as it was with furniture, newspapers, radios and music to match the time in history or an event. A must see when visiting Tangier!

It’s a great place to come. Cost is 50dirram. Not bad place to learn some local/American history. You can do the entire place within 30mins.

Nice experience. Ticket was 50dh per person (for tourists). The entrance is hidden in the Medina.

Very interesting experience exploring the relationship between Morocco and the US!

A place that tells you about the history of the first American ligation, and more, i loved it

Definitely worth it the visit! An important historical spot, with a very well kept garden and scientific information. I would suggest to include English explanation in addition to french and Arabic.

Cap Spartel is a must-visit spot just outside Tangier. The views are breathtaking, where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Mediterranean Sea. The lighthouse adds a historic charm, and the surrounding gardens are peaceful and well kept. 💡 Tip: Best time to visit is late afternoon to enjoy the sunset. Bring some water or snacks if you don’t plan to eat at the café.

Beautiful location with incredible views. The spot gets busy, but it’s worth it for the scenery. Nice place and a bit of fresh air

Cap Spartel in Morocco marks the northwestern tip of Africa, where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Mediterranean Sea. Famous for its historic lighthouse and panoramic ocean views, it’s a popular spot for sightseeing, photography, and watching stunning sunsets over the sea.

Stunning views from the top. We went to watch the sun set. Absolutely worth going.

Cap Spartil is truly a hidden gem! The natural beauty of the place is absolutely stunning, with breathtaking views of the coastline and the surrounding landscape. The lighthouse adds a unique charm to the location, offering panoramic vistas that make it a perfect spot for relaxation and exploration. The peaceful atmosphere, combined with the fresh air and scenic surroundings, makes it an unforgettable destination. Whether you're looking for a quiet escape or a place to connect with nature, Cap Spartil is the ideal place. Highly recommended!

Beautiful! 🤩 Excellent panoramic views from the top of the lighthouse where you can see the joining of the Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea! Entry fee to get in to the lighthouse, museum, and garden, though the gardens were unfortunately closed while we were visiting. It’s a beautiful 4 km/2.5 mile walk/drive/bike ride between here and Hercules Cave. For those without a car, In Drive app is probably your best bet for visiting from Tangier. If you are friendly with the driver they might even bring you back for a good price and give you some history on the area.

The Caves of Hercules are a popular tourist destination near Tangier, Morocco. They're known for their unique sea-facing entrance that resembles the map of Africa and are often praised for their beautiful views, especially at sunset. Amazing spots to relax and spend some serene time here.

Grottes d’Hercule in Morocco is a stunning natural cave overlooking the Atlantic Ocean near Tangier. Famous for its legendary connection to Hercules, the site features dramatic rock formations, a natural opening shaped like Africa, and breathtaking sea views. Ideal for sightseeing and photography.

Visiting the Hercules Caves was such a unique and memorable experience. The place has a beautiful natural feel, and the famous opening shaped like the map of Africa is even more impressive in person. Walking through the cave, you can really feel the history and the atmosphere — it’s simple but very captivating. The area around the caves is also lovely, with amazing ocean views that make the whole visit even more special. It’s definitely a spot worth seeing if you’re in Tangier, and a great place to take photos and enjoy the scenery. Highly recommended!

If it’s part of your tour or along your route, it’s worth a quick stop. The cave itself is beautiful, especially the view where the water flows through the opening—quite a unique sight. While the surrounding area is largely developed for tourism, it can still be enjoyable, especially for families. The flat terrain and minimal stairs make it very kid-friendly and easy to explore. Great for a short, scenic break and to pick up some souvenirs. Must visit this place

One of the most hyped up tourist spots in Tangier. it's a small space with minimal information, so do some reading before you go. It's overpriced for what is offered. We paid 80drh each (roughly £7.50-£8) for a quick 10 mins inside. there is another small section (i think it was called a gallery) for a separate cost In all honesty the cave is not big, There was a barrier blocking some of it so i don't know if that part is ever opened up to the public. the hype is mainly for the opening in the rocks where you can see the sea and rock formation is the shape of Africa. Everything i read online about a path etc, I did not see. If part of the cave was closed, they should have charged less. As a local citizen you can get the ticket for 30 dirham. Not really impressed with a cost that can't be justified

The history of this cave given by our guide was fascinating. I was surprised how large the cave was and how clean and well preserved it was as well. A very interesting and worthwhile visit.

Amazing views but the cave itself, besides not much to do with the true legend is not as impressive as hoped for but worth visiting while in the area.

Great location. Easy walking distance to town centre and all restaurants and cafe. The room we stays was very nice, got comfortable bed and good hot shower. The staff were kind and there was no hassle or problems. Would recommend this place if you are looking for somewhere to stay when you visit Asilah.

The apartment is perfectly located, and it has a beautiful view on the ocean and the walls of the medina. The room was very modern and clean, and the bed was comfortable. The staff was really nice and flexible, and he even offered help when we needed to print out our tickets urgently. If I visit Morocco again I will definitely return to this place.

Really comfortable and clean place. The furniture of the apartment and the bed were so comfortable. You have all the things you need for cooking and cleaning in the kitchen. Big fridge for storage. The view is incredible because you can see the beach all the time during the day and night with nice place to rest.

The hotel is clean and tidy and we got a great deal on the place. The staff were pleasant and the sea view was lovely. On a negative the wifi is dreadful and there is still some building work going on. Also no access to the roof.

The apartment was small but clean and cosy with very good placement. Close to the city center and in a quiet neighborhood. They just need to renew some furniture items, toilet and kitchen equipments

Quite overpriced for the kind of stay you are offered. The location was good. Parking underground was also a good option, but there is quite a hassle to call for someone to open the door everytime you want to exit. Also the sea view wasn't much of a view. Some of the staff were quite impolite. You have to track one of them down each time you need any necessities like towels.

I really can not understand why Moroccans just want to make money without improving the quality service. We booked for 3 persons and we got an apartment with 2 single beds. We asked the owner and said the third person can sleep on the couch. The toilets were not clean, the kitchen equipments were dirty and dusty. Come on it is a modern apartment so keep it clean. Just avoid that place please.

The beach could be beautiful but there is so much trash there, very sad. Other than that, the access is through a dirty road in very bad condition.

Mooie strand, nice beach with lots of people the atmosphere is great!

Up and coming location. Ideal for peace and quiet quality time.

A wonderful beach

Beautiful beach

Fabulous hidden gem. Worth the bumpy ride to get there.

Nadi

Huge site, lots to see, marvellous views of Larache and the estuary. Definitely worth a visit. There are not enough information boards and those they have are only in French and Arabic, so you may well find yourself uncertain what you are looking at. Nothing to stop people climbing over the ruins and walking across the centuries old mosaics; seems ridiculous.

Great archeological site, worth the visit, the ministry of culture can do a better job to develop its infrastructure and make the visit more enjoyable.

A truly amazing site were you can get up close to ancient buildings and artifacts. This is a must visit if in the Area.

Excellent views of Larache from the top and the estuary. Ancient roman ruins. The site is well looked after, guards are friendly and public services and bathrooms were very clean

One of the nicest places l've visited. The place is clean, safe, and the employees are really friendly.

Definitely worth a visit. A beautiful, magical place, with beautiful views of the meanders of the Loukos River where it flows into the ocean - the ancestors really knew how to choose a place to live. Freely accessible, well-maintained excavations, preserved amphitheater, mosaic floors... simply amazing. Descriptive signs in Arabic and French were translated by Google, otherwise we received a printed guide in English. The only thing that is disappointing is the much higher entrance fee charged to foreigners than to locals

I spent a lovely couple of hours here, wandering around the ruins. 80dh to get in which includes the small museum on site. The guards and people were super friendly. I was there on a Wednesday and it was deserted which I admit I liked. It was hot so take water with you. Also is not wheelchair friendly as there is some steep walking and lots of steps. The views are amazing. The information is in both French and Arabic. I'm English so was no good for me.. However I still really enjoyed my time there and recommend a visit if you are in the area...

The Mausoleum of Mohammed V is a truly magnificent site and one of Rabat’s most iconic landmarks. The architecture is stunning — a perfect blend of Moroccan craftsmanship and Islamic artistry, with intricate tilework, marble floors, and beautifully carved ceilings. Inside, the atmosphere is serene and respectful, honoring King Mohammed V and his sons, King Hassan II and Prince Abdallah. The site is well maintained, and the guards in traditional uniforms add a ceremonial touch to the experience. A must-visit for anyone exploring Morocco’s royal and historical heritage.

This is where Mohammed V was buried and available to visit. The Mausoleum was designed by a Vietnamese and it has semblance of the Taj Mahal with white marbles and shapes. The place has many guards and they are friendly for photos. One of the best part of this place is the guards on horses and their exchanges. A nice ceremony if you can catch that changing of the horse guards.

Interesting place, definitely worth a visit. I was impressed by the guards in their traditional uniforms. Unfortunately, we visited on a foggy and rainy day. Outside, there are street vendors who sell fresh orange juice and roasted nuts. The architecture is beautiful and fascinating both inside and out. There’s a huge, impressive fountain outside, though it’s fenced off and visibility is limited.

I only got to see the Mausoleum of Mohammed V from the outside, but it was still an unforgettable stop. The white marble, green-tiled roof, and intricate carvings make it one of the most beautiful buildings in Rabat. Even from a distance, you can feel the importance of the place and the care put into every detail. It sits right next to Hassan Tower, and together they create one of the most striking sights in the city. The area feels peaceful and dignified, with guards in traditional uniforms and wide open courtyards that add to the atmosphere. Definitely worth visiting, even if you only view it from the outside.

The tomb of Mohammed V Ben Youssef is a building designed by Vietnamese engineer Eric Van Town, built opposite the Hassan Silo on Yacoub Mansour Almohad Square in the Moroccan capital Rabat. It was built on a height opposite the city of Salé overlooking the Abu Ruqraq River and close to its Atlantic estuary. The construction of the tomb of Mohammed V took about ten years, as it began in 1962 to lay the closing brick in 1971. The mausoleum is registered as an Islamic archaeology in accordance with Article 4 of the Antiquities Law of the League of Arab States at the Third Archaeology Conference held in Fez. It was also on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2012. The idea of building the mausoleum was to commemorate the late King of Morocco, Mohammed V. The mausoleum contains the graves of the late Kings Mohammed V bin Yusuf and King Hassan II, who was buried at the mausoleum after his death in 1999, as well as the tomb of Prince Abdullah.

Incredible experience! Free entry and no queues. Really polite staff and guardians who were posing to photos. Worth visiting!

Free entrance, beautiful mausoleum and gardens. Good transport options including tram, with station within 5 minute walk.

Excellent tourist site in Morocco. This landmark destroyed during an earthquake in Portugal that demolished this structure as well in Morocco. Some of the boundary wall remains. A separate mosque is now constructed to offer prayer.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A breathtaking symbol of Rabat must-see! Visiting the Hassan Tower was one of the highlights of my trip to Rabat. The minaret dates from the late 12th century and was intended as part of an enormous mosque commissioned by Sultan Yaʿqūb al-Mansur work halted after his death, leaving the striking 44-metre tower and the rows of marble columns that mark the mosque’s original footprint. The setting is dramatic: the tower’s red stone rises above a wide, open esplanade dotted with column stumps that make for superb photos and a real sense of the scale that was planned. The intricate Almohad decorations on the tower and the calm, airy space around it give the whole complex a powerful, timeless atmosphere. It’s perfectly placed next to the Mausoleum of Mohammed V and the beautifully kept gardens you can easily visit both in one trip and the contrast between the medieval monument and the modern royal mausoleum is fascinating. Entry to the site is straightforward (many visitors report it as free), and the area feels safe and well maintained. Practical tips: aim for early morning or late afternoon for the best light and fewer crowds; wear respectful clothing if you plan to visit the mausoleum; allow around 45–90 minutes to wander, photograph and take in the views across Rabat. There are often local guides nearby if you’d like historical context. Overall I loved the Hassan Tower, it’s historic, photogenic and peaceful, and an essential stop when exploring Rabat’s imperial quarter. Highly recommended for history lovers, photographers and anyone wanting a memorable slice of Moroccan heritage.

The Hassan Tower and the Mausoleum of Muhammad V are two of Rabat's most important attractions. Beautiful sights to see. The Hassan Tower, a famous red sandstone structure – the remains of an unfinished minaret from the 12th century. The royal family mausoleum and mosque are known for their ornate Moroccan architecture with a green roof. Admission is free, but photos are welcome with the guards.

Hassan means Beautiful. So it’s a beautiful tower planned to be a mosque. But because of earthquake, it was collapsed and pillars and part of the wall remained. Hijri Year is 355 days, so you can find 355 pillars, The father king mausoleum Mohammad V, newly mosque and a museum for royal family only. Soldiers riding horses near entrance gate. Pleasant visit.

Unfortunately, I only got to see Hassan Tower from the outside, but it was still absolutely worth the visit. The structure is stunning and the scale is impressive, even from a distance. The surrounding plaza with its rows of stone columns gives you a real sense of the unfinished grandeur that was planned here. It is a peaceful area with the Mausoleum of Mohammed V nearby and views over the river. The red stone contrasts beautifully with the sky, making it a great stop for photos. Even if you only have time to see it from the outside, it is one of Rabat’s most iconic and meaningful landmarks.

The area is peaceful and very well maintained, with plenty of space to walk around and take photos. From the site, you can also spot the nearby Mausoleum of Mohammed V, which adds even more depth to the visit. It’s one of those places that’s both historically significant and photogenic — perfect for a short cultural stop while exploring Rabat. You don’t need a lot of time here — 20 to 30 minutes is plenty to take in the sights, admire the architecture, and capture some great photos. It’s more about appreciating the beauty and atmosphere than spending hours exploring.

Historic Landmark adjoining the uncompleted mosque and masoleum. Beautiful marble fountain in front of it makes it great picture opportunity.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A must-visit gem in Rabat! Cellah (Chellah) is one of the most fascinating and peaceful places I’ve ever visited in Morocco. The moment you enter through the grand gate, you’re surrounded by a mix of Roman and Islamic history that’s simply breathtaking. The ancient ruins, beautifully weathered walls, and ornate tombs tell countless stories of Rabat’s past. The gardens are lush and full of life storks nesting on the old minarets add a truly magical touch. It’s quiet, well-maintained, and perfect for those who want to slow down and take in the city’s heritage away from the crowds. The views from the site are also stunning, especially at sunset when the light hits the ruins. You can feel the layers of history here. Roman remains blending seamlessly with medieval Moroccan architecture. Whether you’re a history lover, a photographer, or simply someone who appreciates peaceful and authentic places, Cellah is an unforgettable experience. Highly recommended to anyone visiting Rabat!

Absolutely wonderful archeological and historic site. The walking path is well marked with site signs. There is also an audio program that can be rented. The grounds are beautifully maintained with plantings that were new to me. Just gorgeous.

A very charming place on so many levels. So much history. We had a wonderful tour guide. The food at the restaurant was wonderful. I want to go back.

A lovely historical city with Mauritanian, Roman, and a few other civilizations contributing to this place. The place has some Roman ruins, a very small museum, a mosque, some baths, a lovely garden, and residentials. The place also has a coffee shop, a restaurant, and a gifts shop. Tickets are bought at the entrance by cash or card. They have ample parking onsite. Timings of the place differ around the year. The restaurant onsite remains open until after the ancient city closes, and has a separate entrance. Expect to spend 1 hour exploring the place.

Absolutely loved this place. The mix of Roman ruins and later Moroccan architecture makes Chellah one of the most atmospheric sites in Rabat. My highlights were wandering through the crumbling walls covered in greenery, watching the storks nesting on top of old minarets, and hearing nothing but wind and birds. It feels calm and untouched, almost like stepping back in time. The gardens are beautiful, and the sense of history here is powerful with layers of civilizations in one spot. Bring comfortable shoes and visit in the late afternoon for soft light and fewer crowds. A must-see for anyone who enjoys ancient ruins and quiet, magical places.

A must-visit spot in Rabat if you love peaceful views and natural scenery. The green side of Chellah is perfect for photos, sunlight through the trees, old walls covered in nature, and a quiet vibe that feels timeless.

Fantastic place, rich in culture and history. I recommend taking a guided tour. Definitely worth the 300 dirhams. A big thank you to our guide Icham.
