Practical notes
- Frequent trains link Rabat-Ville and Casablanca (Casa-Voyageurs / Casa-Port) in under an hour — no car needed.
- Book a guided slot in advance to go inside the Hassan II Mosque; tour times are fixed and busy.
- Base yourself in Rabat for a calmer evening and day-trip to Casablanca, rather than the reverse.
