Casablanca: City of White

A Panoramic Journey Through Casablanca Experience the fascinating allure of this thriving North African city and see the largest mosque outside of Mecca. Drive with your guide to view the exterior of the massive Hassan II Mosque, overlooking the Atlantic. The building and courtyard can host more than 100,000 worshippers. View the intricate craftsmanship and the impressive minaret, which stands at 689 feet tall, then continue along the corniche to the Habous Quarter (New Medina). Pass the Royal Palace, a masterpiece of Islamic architecture, as well as the Casablanca Cathedral. Recognizable by its unusual blend of Art Deco design, neo-Gothic architecture and Moroccan influences, this cathedral once served the French Roman Catholic population. It became secular after Morocco’s independence and is now a cultural center. After time to explore at the Place des Nations Unies, or United Nations Square, return by coach to your ship. * Easy - Walking portions are generally over easy surfaces with few steps or inclines.
