• Hassan II Mosque: It is the second largest functioning mosque in Africa and is the 7th largest in the world. Its minaret is the world's second tallest minaret at 210 metres (689 ft).
• Habous quarter: Quartier Habous is one of the most picturesque places in Casablanca. It’s a neighborhood of the city with a quiet marketplace. With no crowds, it's considered as the new Medina of the city. The area is wide and well maintained, white houses and street arcs add personality to the place and there are little shops with typical products from Morocco. Haggling is a must though prices are generally ok. Quartier Habous is a good place to spend the morning or afternoon and dropping into the best Moroccan pastries, the Bennis Habous, or having a good cup of tea.
• Anfa and Ain Diab: Anfa, a spectacular area of lavish villas with fabulous gardens, a golf course and tennis courts, is often described as Morocco’s Beverly Hills. It leads to the highly popular seaside resort of Aîn Diab famous for its beaches, terrace cafes, restaurants and nightlife.
• United Nations Square : Famous for the neo Moorish monuments which surround it and the musical fountain which splashes out multi-colored water to the sounds of Strauss and Andalusian music, considered Casablanca’s focal point.
• Mohamed V place: This is the heart of the city, standing between the two contrasting sides of this Metropolis: The Medina or old town and the elegant modern section with its skyscrapers and large boulevards.

Welcome dinner at Rick’s Café. The café’ is located on the ramparts of the old Médina of Casablanca, opposite the port.

Next we will see Oudaya Kasbah located at the mouth of the Bou Regreg river opposite Salé.

Full day tour of Marrakech:

• Jardins Majorelle Gardens: Considered one of the most delightful places in Marrakech – a small, meticulously planned botanical garden created from the 1920s by the French painter Jacques Majorelle. Now superbly mature, it is owned and splendidly maintained by Yves Saint Laurent. In the artist’s former studio, a museum of Islamic arts exhibits Saint Laurent's fine personal collection of north African carpets, pottery and furniture. 
• The Koutoubia Mosque: One of the best examples of the Hispano-Moresque art, which combines apparent simplicity with superb craftsmanship and restrained luxury. With its minaret rising 252 feet into the sky, it is certainly one of the most impressive sights in Marrakech
  El Bahia Palace: Standing in a 2-acre garden, is a haphazard arrangement of secret luxury apartments opening on to inner courtyards. 
• Lunch in a local restaurant.
• Souks: It is a riot of color, noise and activity, a wealthy storehouse of all the treasures of this vast and varied country. You will find all the silver merchants in one corner, all the gold merchants in another, and rows of stalls selling exclusively leatherwork or copper goods or jewelry. The real fascination is to watch the craftsmen at work, gilding on leather, or inlaying with enamel the sheaths of ornate silver daggers, hammering out copper, embroidering silks or smoothing out the surface of cedar wood tables.
• The Djemaa El Fna square: The literal translation of the name is “the Mosque or Assembly of death”, referring to the custom of displaying the heads of vanquished rebels or criminals, the square is known to be a place of public execution even up to the last century. Today it provides constant ever-changing entertainment, which reaches its climax at sunset and continues late at night. This is a square where Moroccan folklore is in continual operation: story tellers, snake charmers, acrobats, folkloric bands.
• Gala dinner in a Moroccan family home. A complete immersion into Moroccan culture and family life. A perfect chance to interact with locals and experience a truly unique evening.
