The experience

A private journey, thoughtfully arranged

Discover the contrast between Casablanca’s Old Medina and its twentieth-century centre on a three-hour private walk. Meet at United Nations Square, follow a compact medina loop, then explore street-facing Art Deco façades around Mohammed V Boulevard and the civic square.

Your guide connects decorative details, neighbourhood trade and the city’s changing architecture, with time for photographs and questions. Finish in the central district near Mohammed V Square. This walking route excludes Hassan II Mosque and Habous, which require a different programme; no vehicle or private-building access is included.

The private base price covers up to 4 guests. Each additional adult costs USD 25 and each additional child USD 15; the maximum is 12. No compulsory shopping or minimum purchase is required. Paid entrances, meals and transfers are excluded unless explicitly selected as an add-on. Tell MLV about children’s ages, allergies or mobility needs before booking. The final total, including any short-notice supplement, appears at checkout.
