Casablanca shore excursions: Our Casablanca shore excursions will allow you to discover the largest city in Morocco and its surroundings, either in a few hours or a full day cruise excursion. Visit the majestic Hassan II Mosque considered as the landmark of the city, Rabat the capital of Morocco, the Portuguese fort of Eljadida and Azemmour, or the red city of Marrakech.

Things to do in Casablanca:

Visit Hassan II Mosque: Hassan II Mosque is the third largest mosque in the world and the only functioning mosque in Morocco that can be visited by non-Muslims. It was built to commemorate the late King’s 60th birthday and is the greatest reflection of Moroccan craftsmanship.

Visit Place Mohammed V: Mohammed V Square is surrounded by public buildings whose design was later copied all over Morocco. The buildings include the law courts, the Wilaya (the governor’s house), Bank Al-Maghrib, the post office, and the former building of the Ministry of Defense.

Visit Rabat: Rabat is the capital of Morocco and one of the 4 imperial cities, located an hour north of Casablanca. A day trip to Rabat from Casablanca is a must as it will introduce you to the historic era when Morocco controlled a vast geographic area stretching from Senegal and Mali to Northern Spain.

Tangier shore excursions: Tangier is the gate of Africa for so many arriving at its port for a Tangier shore excursion. Take a guided tour of the Medina and the nearby Hercules caves, escape to the charming Berber town of Chaouen, or discover the Portuguese heritage of the fortified town of Asilah.

Things to do in Tangier:

Visit the Grand Succo: The Grand Succo is the official entrance to the Medina (walled old town). Once a large market, it is where the narrow streets of Tangier begin. From here, walk into the terrace for a great ground floor view.

Visit Kasbah Museum: The museum is located in Dar Al-Makhzen historical site (the former King’s palace, also used as the residence of the former Portuguese and British governors). The museum is focused on the history of the area stretching from the prehistoric era to the 19th century.

Visit Tangier American Legation Museum: This museum is considered one of the must-see sites in Tangier. This was the first real estate the American government ever owned abroad. It is no secret that Morocco was the first country to recognize the founding of the United States. The museum is also the only US National Historic Landmark on foreign soil.

Visit The Petit Succo: Known locally as ”Souk El Dakhel,” this used to be the most notorious crossroad in Tangier! It is perfect to grab a seat at one of the cafés in the square to travel in time when the place was where all the deals were made in town.

Mendoubia Gardens: Across from the Grand Succo, the Mandoubia Gardens are flanked by elegant colonial buildings. At the top of a central hill, some colonial canons are lined.

Day trip to Chefchaouen: Chefchaouen (also called Chaouen) is a beautiful Berber town perched beneath the raw peaks of the Rif Mountains, famous for its artsy blue-washed streets.

Day trip to Asilah: Asilah is a beautiful white-washed fishermen town located at the Atlas Mountains south of Tangier, famous for its artists, and was a Spanish territory for a long time. The town is composed of an old fortress with Portuguese-style fortifications and a walled Medina overlooking the sandy beach. Asilah is also famous for being a resort town for the locals in summertime.
