Casablanca Highlights

Casablanca Highlights

Your highlighted tour of Casablanca will include the following:

Central Market - Take a short, guided walk through the city's focal point - the bustling market, where the locals shop for spices, olives, fruit, vegetables, flowers, fish and meat.

Habous Quarter - The narrow streets of the merchant quarter lead to shaded squares. Your walk passes the many souks offering copper trays, silver teapots, ceramics and clothing. Catch a glimpse of the olive souk tucked into a small courtyard and filled with barrels of olives, fragrant with herbs, spices and oils.

Mahakma Law Courts - The Mahakma du Pacha are the Islamic law courts and the official salon of Casablanca's Pacha. Visit the interior courtyard decorated with fine mosaics; the unique ceiling is intricately sculpted of cedar from the Atlas Mountains.

PHOTO OPPORTUNITIES
Mohammed V Square - Casablanca's administrative center surrounds this vast square featuring a large Moorish fountain with gardens. This is approximately a 15 minute stop.
