Arriving a day early - recommendations of things to do in Rabat?
Hi there, we are on the December 18 (2025) Magic of Morocco trip and are arriving a day early. Does any one have recommendations of what to do that day (that doesn't overlap with the actual tour activities) and/or the names of any private guides? Many thanks!

We had some extra time in Rabat before the tour and just walked around the city. We wound up in the medina. No security problems.
If you want to go a bit further afield, you can take the high speed train to Tangier. The town of Chefchaouen is very close to Tangier and people say it's very interesting to visit.
If you want a guide, I've used Tours by Locals in the past.
You can see what we did at https://www.mikeandjudytravel.com/2022-1Morocco-01.htm I have some history of Morocco in the blog which you might find interesting.
We are currently on Tauck's Magic of Morocco Tour and arrived a day early. We independently booked a half-day tour of Rabat on Trip Advisor's website leaving at 9am, it was excellent; private car, driver, and a guide. They took us to a few places that Tauck did not. For dinner we walked around the corner from the hotel to a lovely restaurant called Sufra; excellent Moroccan food and they make you feel right at home. You will fall in love with Morocco and it's people....we have!
