Sight 4: Hassan Tower

Hassan Tower or Tour Hassan (Arabic: صومعة حسان; is the minaret of an incomplete mosque in Rabat, Morocco. It was commissioned by Abu Yusuf Yaqub al-Mansur, the third caliph of the Almohad Caliphate, near the end of the 12th century. The tower was intended to be the largest minaret in the world, and the mosque, if completed, would have been the largest in the western Muslim world. When al-Mansur died in 1199, construction on the mosque stopped. The minaret was left standing at a height of 44 meters. The rest of the mosque was also left incomplete, with only the beginnings of several walls and 348 columns being constructed. The tower, along with the remains of the mosque and the modern Mausoleum of Mohammed V, forms an important historical and tourist complex in Rabat.

Sight 5: Grand Theatre of Rabat

The building is designed by Zaha Hadid and her architectural firm Zaha Hadid Architects. Planning began for the project in 2010 and construction officially started on October 7, 2014. Completion of the project was scheduled for late 2019. The building is among the last projects designed by Zaha Hadid before her death in 2016.

Mdina & Rabat Tour

Mdina, the old capital city of Malta, is exactly that: the place from where the nobility and the church controlled the island, protected by impregnable walls against the enemy attacks. It is one of the most beautiful and well preserved European medieval towns, selected as a setting by producers of movies and TV series like Game of Thrones, “Troy” and “Gladiator”! Coming here you will immediately understand why: the old narrow alleyways every now and then opening into charming squares or leading you to bastions with spectacular views haven’t changed much from the days when knights and lords walk them. 

Mdina has managed to do the impossible – to keep the passage of time away, there are no modern shops here, no neon lights… Right under the walled city of Mdina there is Rabat – a charming village full of colourful doors and balconies and quaint streets. It grew around the city, built by those who couldn’t afford a palace inside of the walls, but wanted to be close by in the (likely) case of an attack.

During the tour we will visit both: Mdina and Rabat, weaving a fascinating story of the town, the village and their former inhabitants, stories that shaped Maltese traditions, beliefs and the essence of who we are today. It is a visit no one should miss if they really want to understand the soul of Malta.

This tour is quite historical, which allows you to learn about the city and the history and traditions of Malta.

Highly recommended

Dos tours , dos guías y ambos fantasticos

Hicimos Valletta con esta empresa y nos gustó tanto que repetimos en Medina. Fue otra guia pero nos gustó lo mismo.

Si hubiera más estrellas las dariamos

Fantastic tour

Historical tour with Tracy. Witty guide 🙂

We really enjoyed. Recommended 100%

Excellent tour by Tracy

We very much enjoyed this tour of Rabat and Mdina, Tracy was very relatable and told us quote a bit about Maletese culture now and over the years as well as the history of these two tiny cities. So much so, that we joined her again in Valletta the following day for another tour

Súper bien también!

Hicimos los dos tours, y muy bien!

Este es más histórico, pero también sobre tradiciones y cosas locales, y la guía volvió a ayudarnos con dudas más prácticas.

Todo estupendo, muchas gracias!!!
