Excursion Casablanca

Casablanca City Tour Departure time: 09:30 am, Duration: Half Day

Casablanca is the modern face of Morocco yet a city that has always managed to fascinate the visiters thanks to its upholding an original Moorish and African look next to a new marvelous one in such a balanced way.
The Medina and its walls , the souks and their coulors, the mosques with the calls and people in their Djellabas remain the exact identity  of this cosmopolitan Humphery Bogart and Engrid Bergman dearly choosen place for a film that fits in every age and time.
The visit starts from the hotel after breakfast. The drive long the cornish allows us to enhale the fresh costal air and take us to Hassan the second mosque :the second largest mosque in the world after the one in mecca. Everything about it is fascinating: The height of its menaret , the marble and mosaic and the lazer beams which one can see from 30 miles away. The visit from outside is allowed and free . The visit of its indoors is very often disturbed by the prayer times.

The drive long the rich villa zone of Anfa takes us gentilly to the modern quarters with its wide boulevards and twin centre. The french quarter is still protecting its art deco’s look and the walk through the Houbous kasbah reminds of one thousand and one night fairy tale . Return to the hotel at 13:00 for an enjoyable lunch.
