Traversing the western coastal highway, this tour connects Marrakech with Casablanca, Morocco's bustling Atlantic gateway. The undisputed centerpiece is the Mosque of Hassan II, the largest functioning mosque in Africa and one of the few open to non-Muslim visitors. Designed by French architect Michel Pinseau, its 210-meter minaret casts a laser beam toward Mecca, and its prayer hall features a retractable roof and a glass floor through which worshippers can see the Atlantic crashing below. The excursion also visits the Habous Quarter with its Neo-Moorish architecture, the seaside Ain Diab Corniche, and the legendary Rick's Cafe inspired by the classic 1942 film.
