    Assolutamente da fare, questo tour, anche se mezza giornata è decisamente poco : ci sono troppe cose da vedere, anche soltanto passeggiare lungo il boulevard Mohammed V, che i francesi trasformarono nella loro vetrina architettonica con i loro maestosi palazzi dalle facciate imponenti. Di fronte al vecchio Hotel Lincoln, del 1916 (ora fatiscente e in parte crollato) c'è il Marché Central, costruito nel 1920 e tuttora il mercato più frequentato dalla clientela europea che risiede nei quartieri limitrofi. Affascinante la vecchia Medina, ancora in parte cinta dalle antiche mura. La nuova Medina invece, verso il quartiere Habous, è stata costruita dai francesi e, lungo la corniche, verso la Moschea Hassan II si trova la spiaggia.

    One best landmark to see and visit in Casablanca "The mosque Hassan II" Non Muslims can visit it and allowed to take pictures. Med V Square was excellent after I explored several old medinas (crowded). The mosque Hassan II was our highlight in Casablanca

    Tour guide took us to carpet store. They package the wrong carpet. Now I have a carpet that matches nothing in my house and I can not reach the store, all numbers on receipt are disconnected. No email address. What a loss of a lot of money

    J'ai beaucoup apprecié ce que j'ai vu et j'ai pu prendre de belles photos. Casablanca est finalement une ville à ne pas manquer lors d'un voyage au maroc. Le prix du tour est raisonnable pour le service qui m'a été offert et je tiens à souligner le professionalisme du guide qui n'a pas manqué aucun détail.

    Unfortunately, the mosque was closed on the mosque tour. Would not recommend signing up for your until last minute to assure entry. Your consisted of looking at beach, modern architecture, shopping stops and anecdotes. Guide and driver were friendly and tried to make most of your. Lovely company but unable to answer many questions.

    Not worth it at all. Spent the entire time driving around in a car. Had a few stops to look at the sites. Not much to see in Casablanca. Just go to Hassan II on your own. The worst part was being taken to an authentic Moroccan art display... you mean a rug shop where they try to get you to buy overpriced rugs. Not worth it at all. The driver was great though.

    Magnifique mosquée qui vaut vraiment le détour. Impossible d’alker à Casablanca sans visiter ce joyau contemporain. Visites guidées très bien faites. A voir absolument.

    De paseo en Casablanca fui a visitar la mezquita de Hassan segundo y es realmente impresionante Me comentó el guía que costó 504 millones de euros y se hizo en cinco años y lleva el nombre de Hassan segundo en honor al padre de Mohamed sexto actual rey de Marruecos es digna de ir a visitar

    The Hassan II Mosque or Grande Mosquée Hassan II is a mosque in Casablanca, Morocco. It is the largest mosque in Africa, and the 5th largest in the world. Our group manage to perform Zuhur Prayer here. Its such a big & beautiful mosque. Miss this place so much
