Itinerary
Our first stop is the majestic Hassan II Mosque, the largest mosque in Morocco and the second largest in Africa. It boasts an intricate design and is one of the few mosques in Morocco open to non-Muslims for guided tours. Its 210-meter-tall minaret dominates the skyline, and its location on the Atlantic coastline provides stunning views of the ocean. Learn about its unique architectural features, including its retractable roof and intricate mosaics.
Inspired by the famous 1942 film Casablanca, Rick’s Café recreates the ambiance of the iconic movie. This charming café offers a nostalgic atmosphere with its vintage decor and is a perfect spot for taking photos.
Next, we head to the Corniche, Casablanca’s beautiful waterfront promenade along the Atlantic Ocean. Stroll through Ain Diab, a lively beach district known for its cafés, restaurants, and vibrant nightlife. It’s a great place to take in the ocean breeze, and you'll have the opportunity to enjoy the scenic coastal views.
After the Corniche, we stop for a panoramic view of the Hassan II Mosque, framed by the endless blue of the Atlantic. This viewpoint offers a fantastic photo opportunity of the mosque in all its glory. Nearby, you'll also see the historic El Hank Lighthouse, an iconic landmark guiding ships safely into Casablanca’s port since 1916. The lighthouse and the mosque together create a picturesque scene, combining modernity and tradition.
Discover the luxurious side of Casablanca as we drive through Anfa Hills, the city's most prestigious residential area. Known for its elegant villas, tree-lined streets, and sweeping ocean views, this neighborhood showcases Casablanca’s modern and affluent lifestyle.
This striking neo-Gothic cathedral, located in the heart of the city, was built in the 1930s and stands as a testament to Casablanca’s diverse cultural and religious heritage.
Our next stop is Place Mohammed V, commonly known as Pigeons Square. This bustling square is home to important administrative buildings and fountains and is a great spot for people-watching. The lively atmosphere and presence of pigeons give it a vibrant, energetic feel.
Before leaving Casablanca, we’ll take a step back in time with a visit to the Old Medina. This historic quarter is a maze of narrow streets, bustling souks, and traditional Moroccan shops. Experience the vibrant street life, where locals sell everything from spices to handicrafts, and immerse yourself in the authentic charm of this ancient marketplace.
Leaving Casablanca behind, we head to the coastal city of Mohammedia. Here, you will visit the famous park, a lush green space perfect for a relaxing stroll, and the old church, a remnant of the city’s colonial past. This charming stop offers a glimpse into the quieter, more relaxed side of Moroccan life.
Enjoy a delicious lunch at a restaurant overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. Savor traditional Moroccan dishes with the calming sound of waves in the background, offering a perfect blend of great food and scenic views.
To complete your Moroccan adventure, we offer a unique camel ride experience. Camels have been part of Moroccan culture for centuries, and this ride provides a fun and authentic way to connect with the country’s traditions. Capture unforgettable moments during this peaceful ride near the ocean.
After a full day of exploration, we head back to Casablanca, where you will be dropped off at your hotel, cruise port, or the airport.

The itinerary is the best! It has the camels included which is hard to find. They include all the important stops. Great communication. This is a wonderful tour, highly recommend.
Happy to take this visit tour by kamel, it was a good experience, driver and tour guide are very friendly, I was with friends from London , very like it
We had a wonderful day with Zaid. He gave us an independent tour of yhe area, arranged a fun camel ride. And enjoyed lunch and tea at locally owned and operated venues which was wonderful. I have already recommended this to others. The cost is a great value.
This company is a scam! Please beware. They take your money. Lie about showing up. Never respond to emails, texts or the phone provided! Now I’m fighting to get a refund! Beware!!!
We are a professional and honest company, working for over 30 years without any negative reviews. We are not responsible for the cancellation of the ship, and you did not send a cancellation request in advance. Our guide and driver were present at the port with transportation, ready to meet you. We had no prior knowledge that the ship would be canceled due to the King’s visit, which was completely out of our control. We also covered the costs for the transportation, the driver, and the guide. We kindly ask you to remove this negative review, as it is affecting our business. The information in your review is not accurate.Please be assured that if you had been honest and entitled to a refund, we would have issued it without hesitation. We are a serious and professional company, and we are not scammers. It appears you want to take revenge on us.

Hello very good I would like to share with you my experience with my friends in morucos and presistently white house. First I will thank excellent moroco for having offered us a wonderful day 'because when we arrived at white house we were waiting for a driver who took us to visit the ancient medina that is worth seeing then we went to the mosque hasan second that is built in sima of the sea and is considered one of the largest in the world' then we went to a city very close to white house is called mohamadia there we eat tagine marocaine and couscos also that really rich after it came time to take a walk with camels for 45 mn in a beach is. something unforgettable. Total advice to visit white house I assure you that you will not regret
Muchas Gracias!
I experienced a similar trip but to Rabat in June, which ended with a camel ride. It was absolutely what I needed when I only had one day of free time. My guides were conversational, pleasant and gave me time for solo exploration. The transition from CMN airport to each site was seemless and I was able to safely store my carry-on luggage in a nice van with AC. I will contact this company again on my next day trip through the Casablanca area.
Thank you so much. We are so happy to hear that, and we will be so glad to arrange you nice trip next time.
Souad messaged us the day before to ensure that we were ready and excited for our trip. She arranged for us to be toured by Saad and Ibrahim— two very amazing men who are knowledgeable about the city and makes sure you get the full Moroccan experience! Pick up and drop off to and from the airport (we had a 14 hr layover) was super smooth, the food was amazing! The views were breathtaking and the Hassan Mosque is such a special place. The camel ride was unforgettable— this package was well worth the money and offered an amazing experience to get a taste of Morocco. Please book with them— you truly won’t regret how great of an experience it is!
We were so happy to serve you. Thank you so much for your feedback, you encourage us to do our best to make our customers very satisfied. Thank you so much.
My gf and I had booked this private tour, key word “private” and ended up in a group of 8 people because the guide sent us a WhatsApp group chat asking if we were all ok with consolidating the travel plans to one shuttle bus because all of the people that had booked this were coming off the same cruise. We didn’t want to but felt obligated to say yes because we didn’t want to be the “bad guys” of the group. We later discussed a certain discount because our private tour was now a group tour and we payed the extra money for the private tour and their response was “Well you agreed to doing it as a group”. The itinerary listed was not followed and we felt like they were just “winging it”. We did visit some of the sites that were listed but we felt very confused as to what we were doing next. When it came to riding the camels there were initially 8 people for only two camels. When I mentioned that this was not going to work they summoned two more camels that came after a while. We ate at a decent restaurant which was included in our cost but when it came to leaving they wanted us to all pay for all of our drinks. People only had either a cola or water but we all ended up paying for our bottle of water or cola which left us a little salty. It wasn’t the actual cost that left us shaking our head but simply the principle of having to pay for something that should've been included in the first place. Overall, my gf and I did this excursion to ride the camels which we were happy to do but this specific day tour was definitely not worth the money.
Thank you for your feedback! I am really disappointed when I heard your review, I didn't realise you would complain about that trip.We have never got any bad reviews about our services, because we try to do our best to make our customers happy and satisfied. 1- it was not obliged to join the group, you accepted that without any comment. 2- Drinks are not included (Soda , Wine.), including only bottles of water in the car. 3- Our company is the only one which has this exclusive tour. We tried to do our best to make you happy and satisfied, and enjoy the tour without any problems. 4- This exclusive tour includes riding camels on the beach, you have to know that there is no camel there, it is not the place of camels, as you know there are only in the desert, and it's very hard to bring camels there, the procedures are difficult, and very expensive. If you only ride a camel there it costs 150euro per person for 1 hour (without including anything else), and we sell this tour with a very good price to let people doing an exceptional experience, and we try to arrange it by ourselves," I mean to use our vehicles, drivers and guides.." to have this tour as cheap as possible. Millions of people booked this trip through our company, and we have never gotten any complaints. We did our best to arrange everything, and all things were to be organized, and in the end you said "this specific day tour was definitely not worth the money" :-( Could you please let us know what we can do to make you happy? We really apologise! and please accept our excuses.
This was my first booking through Viator and it was a really terrible tour. We did an 8 hour tour of Casablanca and learned nothing about Casablanca. Our guide was from Boston and he talked about Boston the entire day? Wanna know a good place to eat pizza in Boston? We now know. He was not only the least informative guide I’ve ever had, but he brought up US politics and then got customers on the tour talking about it. When we booked this tour, we asked for vegetarian options for the lunch. When we got to the lunch, all they offered was beef or chicken. Then the guide made a big deal to everyone at the table that we don’t eat meat. Really awkward, as we were making do with the salad. It felt like a really long, aimless tour. The only good things I can say are that the pre-tour communication was great and it was so nice to be able to have chat communication with the tour company. The camel ride set-up was nice, too. I’d avoid this tour and company next time, though.
Thank you for your feedback. We really apologise, you have to know that guide stopped working with us and we let other companies not to use him as a guide, even he speaks English! If I know concerned authorities, I can write them to complain about that Guide to get his punishment. Politics is a red line! Please accept our excuses, and let us know what can do to make you happy?
