The experience

A private journey, thoughtfully arranged

Meet your guide and separate driver at United Nations Square after using the ship/port's available shuttle arrangement. This suggested programme is built around your ship's timetable, with a mosque interior visit only when its scheduled opening fits the call. Your written quote confirms mosque admission for the booked group.

Continue with selected city highlights such as Habous, public squares and the Corniche, choosing a realistic route rather than a fixed checklist. Lunch is optional and paid separately. Return timing takes priority over extra sightseeing. Before you book, we agree the drop-off, shuttle logistics and a margin before all-aboard, together with the terms for a changed or cancelled ship call.

Itinerary

How your experience unfolds

Stop 1

Cruise meeting

Take the port shuttle to the agreed United Nations Square landmark and meet your private guide and driver there. Confirm the ship's all-aboard time, shuttle arrangements and return meeting point before leaving. The tour does not promise vehicle collection beside the ship or unrestricted private access through the port.

Stop 2

Mosque slot

Visit Hassan II Mosque at the confirmed visitor slot if it operates and fits the ship's call. The guide reviews dress requirements and the permitted visitor route. Religious events or access restrictions may affect entry, so the sequence is planned around actual opening and the fixed port-return deadline.

Stop 3

City highlights

Continue with a selection of Casablanca's public highlights, such as the Habous Quarter, central squares and Corniche, according to time and traffic. Palace areas are viewed from permitted public exterior points. The guide prioritises a coherent route rather than trying to cover every city sight within a short call.

Stop 4

Optional lunch

Use a lunch or refreshment break at your own expense only when the port schedule leaves enough time. Otherwise, keep the route focused on the agreed sights and return. Personal purchases and unlisted food are separate, and optional stops must never consume the buffer reserved for reaching the port shuttle.

Stop 5

Timed return

Return to the agreed authorised meeting point with the margin planned around your all-aboard time and shuttle journey. Keep your ship information and contact details available throughout the visit. The five-to-seven-hour programme must fit the actual call; a short or changed port stay may require a shorter agreed route.

Private tour of Casablanca for up to 16 people

We had an an amazing tour with Hesham. Our cruise had changed our port dates around and Ayoub organized one of his colleagues to help us out!
Hesham communicated very well where we would meet and had our transportation ready to meet us! With a big party of 8 it was perfect. He was conscientious on our time and we never felt rushed. We asked for a traditional Moroccan meal for lunch and it he was able to get us in to a fantastic restaurant. He was knowledgeable and detailed with the history of Casablanca. I would recommend his tour to anyone!

Casablanca Jewish Heritage And Highlights

Ayoub was an outstanding guide, customizing a full day tour of Casablanca with a focus on Jewish sites. He created a fabulous day for our group. Highest recommendation!

7 day Moroccan Tour

Overall, our 7 day Moroccan tour was outstanding to say the least . We were able to see the imperial cities except for Meknes, experience the food , the culture , the beautiful mosques , and taking a walk at their bustling medinas and souks. We also got to experience the exhilarating hot air balloon, and camel ride, had a wonderful dinner and watch belly dancers do their exotic dancing and get to take thousand of beautiful pictures! I would like to thank our tour guide Mr Ayoub for making all these possible. He worked so hard, making arrangements for our bags , carrying our heavy luggage’s coordinating with hotel staff , since we did our own hotel booking and never once complained. He gave us restaurant recommendations and they were beyond excellent too. He allowed my group, freedom to take as much pictures as they want to, shop as long as we want. Thank you Mr Ayoub ! It was an amazing experience and a vacation to remember for the rest of our lives . Please thank our wonderful driver Mr Khalid too.
