Casablanca, Morocco's largest city, showcases a fusion of French, Moorish, and Art Deco styles in its downtown neo-Mauresque structures. The prominent Hassan II Mosque, finished in 1993, features a towering 210m minaret with laser projections, and the 18th-century medina's lively alleyways provide a glimpse into the city's historical charm. Place Mohammed V, with palm trees and an elaborate fountain, symbolises Casablanca's dynamism

Day 2. Safi

Safi blends Atlantic charm, rich history, and vibrant Moroccan culture. Famous for its centuries-old pottery, the city features colorful markets, a lively medina, and sweeping ocean views. Its impressive sea-front fortress and dramatic cliffs offer a striking welcome, while Safi also serves as a gateway to Essaouira, whose UNESCO-listed medina reflects centuries of cultural exchange along Morocco’s Atlantic coast

Day 3. Agadir

Day image 1
Agadir's beach is alive with sea-facing cafes, overlooked by the 16th-century Saadian Kasbah which graces Agadir Ou-fellah hill. The sprawling El Had Souk has 6,000 glittering stores, while the reconstructed medina, reborn after an earthquake, offers a glimpse of the city's historical charm. Other highlights include the grand Mohamed V Mosque, one of Morocco's most impressive, and the Ethnographic Museum delving into local Berber culture
