Begin your visit to Casablanca by driving to the (Habous Quarter) -- the new medina. This is a modern development in traditional style, where you will view the outside of the magnificent Royal Palace and the Regional Law Courts. On the way, you will briefly visit the Notre Dame de Lourdes Church.
Step inside the Hassan II Mosque (the Great Mosque), completed in 1993. This is one of the largest and most beautiful mosques in the world, and its construction was such a massive financial undertaking that it had a marked effect on Morocco's economy for many years.
Return to the coach and set out along the coastal road, passing the golden beaches of the Ain Diab Resort while enjoying a refreshing beverage.
Before returning to the ship, enjoy some free time at the famous United Nations Square.
Please note: Modest attire is required; knees, shoulders and midriffs must be covered. Wear comfortable walking shoes. Shade is limited; please dress accordingly. Bring a hat and wear sunscreen. Do not take photos of military personnel without their consent.
