Rabat, Morocco (CNN) The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are coming to the end of an official three-day visit to Morocco, days after Meghan celebrated her baby shower in New York.

The royal couple landed at Casablanca Airport on a commercial flight from London on Saturday evening, ahead of a whirlwind visit aimed at boosting ties between the UK and the North African nation.

Harry and Meghan received a guard of honor on arrival, with all eyes on the Duchess' baby bump. They were greeted by officials including Britain's ambassador to Morocco, Thomas Reilly, but were two hours late due to delays to their departure.

The pair were hosted by King Mohammed VI in a royal palace, and were greeted at the residence by 15-year-old Crown Prince Moulay Hassan after being driven to Rabat in a motorcade. They were offered dates and milk with orange blossom upon their arrival, a tradition often witnessed at Moroccan weddings.

The visit, the couple's first to the North African nation, has focused on promoting gender equality. Reilly described it as "hugely exciting," and Kensington Palace said prior to the tour that the royal couple were particularly excited about the "opportunity to meet so many young Moroccans."
