Stop 2
On the shoreline, just beyond the northern tip of Casablanca's medina (old city), the Hassan II mosque dominates the entire city. Finished in 1993, it is the second-largest mosque in the world, covering two hectares in size with the world's tallest minaret (200 meters high). The prayer hall can accommodate 25,000 worshippers, while the courtyard (which boasts a retractable roof) can fit another 80,000.

Stop 3
Medina of Casablanca - a maze-like tumble of alleyways still hides much to discover. Authentic tradesmen sell their wares to shoppers, with the butcher, the baker, and the candlestick maker all accounted for. It's a rambling and ramshackle neighborhood with an authentic residential feel and a great place to experience the pulse of Casablanca's life.
4
Casablanca's Corniche (beachfront district) in the Ain Diab suburb, is the city's vortex for those who want to see and be seen. Much of the shoreline is now home to luxury hotels and restaurants. During the day, the many beach clubs here do a roaring trade, with sun worshipers lapping up the rays and splashing in the club swimming pools. Further along the shoreline is the public beach.
After the guided excursion, we transfer you back to Marrakech city (3h drive).
