Hassan II Mosque.
The largest mosque in Morocco — and the third-largest in the world. With its minaret towering up 210 metres, the Hassan II Mosque blends Islamic architecture with Moroccan elements, Moorish influences with urban design.

Old Medina of Casablanca.
It is here that the city’s Jewish past has been best preserved, and is also where it continues to live today. There are some 5,000 Jews currently living in Casablanca, and the city is home to more than 30 synagogues, plus Jewish monuments, cemeteries and shrines
- 03 30 min
Musee Abderrahman Slaoui.
A gorgeous museum inside a home, where a private collection of Moroccan artwork awaits. This house is the former home of Abderrahman Slaoui, a Moroccan businessman who loved the arts. As we peruse the artworks, we’ll stop for a refreshing Moroccan mint tea to help perk us up for the short walk to our next stop.
- 04 20 min
Church of Notre Dame of Lourdes.
Notre Dame de Lourdes Church, with its architecture that’s oh-so-different from what you expect to find in Morocco! The European-inspired church towers over its neighbouring buildings. Please note that the Notre Dame de Lourdes Church is closed on Sundays, we will still stop outside, but we will not go inside.
- 05 40 min
