In Casablanca, the Hassan II Mosque (inaugurated in 1993) is the largest in the world after Mecca. The bazaars and kasbahs are fascinating to experience, and Moroccan cuisine is considered by many to be some of the best in the world.

Participate in half day or full day trips such as CAS25 or CAS35. Fes: The old-town Medina of Fes will transport the visitor to another century. Citizens still gather at the local well for water, apothecary carts on the streets offer medicinal treatments, and vast open leather-dying pits are a sight to behold. Visit Meknes and explore the best-preserved Roman ruins in Morocco at Volubilis. Marrakech: The city of Marrakech is a hub of activity with an intriguing Medina and bazaar itself. It also serves as the inland base for adventures ranging from Camel Riding in Palm Groves; visiting a Nomad Camp in the mountains; a treasure hunt/zipline adventure; or the beautiful Ourika Valley.

You will be met on arrival Casablanca airport by your English-speaking National Guide and transferred to your hotel. As your arrival may be rather early, we shall arrange for you to check-in and relax after your long journey until 11:00 when you will be taken for a tour of this bustling metropolis to visit the exterior of the Dar el Makhzen, or King’s Palace, with its magnificent doors, the New Medina – or Habous area – designed by French architects in the 1930s to resolve a housing crisis and create a modern, twentieth century Kasbah - here to stroll through the reasonably-modern (1923) souk and on past the Pasha’s Mahakma Court of Islamic Law. A visit may be made (previous advice required) to the Beth-El Synagogue, one of the largest and most beautiful noted for its stained glass windows, in the style of Marc Chagall. Sunlight, tinted by stained glass, bounces off a gigantic crystal chandelier creating thousands of shimmering rainbow mosaics on every surface. The ark, the most important thing in the synagogue, houses the Hebrew scrolls and these are dressed in exquisitely embroidered velvet mantles. The walls are inscribed with gilded quotes from the Bible and the ceiling is equally decorative. We continue on to the elegant residential district of Anfa, the original site of Casablanca, with its green parks and Art Deco villas. Anfa hosted the Conference of Casablanca with President Roosevelt and Sir Winston Churchill, during which the date of the Allied landings on the French coasts was fixed for the spring of 1944 and where the somewhat difficult meeting with them and Generals Charles de Gaulle and Henri Giraud took place.
