Exploring Rabat on a SYM NHT: Kasbah des Oudayas, the Medina and More
Exploring Rabat by scooter lets you move between sites without relying on taxi schedules. The comfortable, stable SYM NHT is an excellent companion for a day of sightseeing in the capital.
A one-day Rabat itinerary
Start at the Kasbah des Oudayas, with its blue-and-white lanes overlooking the Bouregreg estuary. Continue to Rabat's medina to wander through the souks. Don't miss the Hassan Tower and the Mohammed V Mausoleum, then finish with a stroll along the seafront. All of it is easy to string together in a single day by scooter.
Why the SYM NHT suits tourists well
Its stability and reassuring riding position make it a good choice even for those who don't ride two-wheelers day to day. Its under-seat storage is handy for a camera, a water bottle, or a few souvenirs picked up along the way.
Across the river: Salé
The bridge connecting Rabat to Salé takes just a few minutes to cross by scooter, opening up access to Salé's medina — less touristy and just as authentic. It's one of the big advantages of renting a scooter instead of staying dependent on taxis.
No license required for foreign visitors
The SYM NHT we offer is an under-50cc scooter: no Moroccan license is required, even for foreign tourists. An international driving permit is accepted if you have one, but it isn't mandatory.
Practical tips before you go
- Bring water and sunscreen, especially in peak season.
- Parking is generally easy near the main sites.
- Book your scooter the day before on WhatsApp to secure availability.
