After breakfast, we will go on a guided tour to explore the largest city and economic center of Morocco. We’ll stroll through its grand avenues, visit the beautiful Mohamed V Square with its fountain, Moorish buildings, palm trees, and the Arab League Park. We will also visit the little Medina. The tour includes admission to the impressive Hassan II Mosque, the only mosque in Morocco open to non-Muslims. Located by the sea, it features a 210-meter-high minaret with laser lights pointing to Mecca. Afterward, you´ll have free time for lunch in the pleasant maritime area of La Corniche.
2:30 p.m. - Departure from Casablanca. After lunch, we’ll follow the Atlantic Ocean towards the south.
4:00 p.m. - Arrival in El Jadida, a port town whose citadel (Mazagan) has been declared a World Heritage Site. Built by the Portuguese in the early 16th century, it became the most important commercial and maritime center on the African coast. Its powerful walls overlooking the ocean made it impenetrable. The picturesque streets preserve numerous traces of the Portuguese era, such as the Manueline-style Church of the Assumption. We will walk through the town and include a visit to the old 16th-century cistern.
6:00 p.m. - Departure from El Jadida.
8:00 p.m. - Arrival in Safi for accommodation. Dinner will be included.
